the activation wizard is unable to find a connection to the inter.

The above message is displayed even though I am connected to the internet
(via dial up) - Like right Now!! What can I do to activate my Office
products?

Select the telephone activation option

This could be caused by your firewall which is blocking the Activation
Wizard or if your Internet connection uses a proxy server that
requires authentication.

You can always use the telephone method for activation or if the issue
is due to your firewall then change your firewall settings.
