Are or were you having problems connecting to the internet? Do you use dial-up?

Quote

An INS file is an automatic setup file that is distributed by most free ISPs to assist their customers in setting up their computer. It is most commonly used to setup a dialup connection with your username and password. It can also setup email and news server settings. It can change more settings that you think, along with the ISPs own branding it can change the default settings and cause your previous setup to be corrupted.
