WHY can't  I connect with a site when I have the www. address? I have
even used " " around the address ans still cannot connect.

Hello.

Just type the www address into the "location" or "address" bar at the top of the
browser program that you're using right now to read this. This is the
long white box near the top of your screen. There are some pictures at
modelzero.org:

Also see: 
"Location Bar 
The location bar displays the name of the URL (Uniform Resource
Locator) and the bookmark organisation system.  The box that displays
the URL can also be used to open a page. To do this, just click in the
box, delete the URL that is displayed and type in a new URL. Of
course, you need to know the specific URL in order to do this."

Again, just use your mouse to point at the "location" or "address"
bar, type in the www address and hit the "enter" key.
