Win XP Not Connected

suarve · 18 Jan 2010 at 10:15

Hi,

Have a laptop using win xp that won't connect to the internet.

I can download updates from windows, ping sites like google and play but not connect to the internet using IE8. I checked things liuke the hosts file too. Have nothing like zonealarm or windows fierwall running either.

Any ideas what I can try next?

Have you tried resetting IE settings?

Does it have proxy settings enabled?

This may be something very far fetched - is there an odd DNS Setting in the LAN Adaptor?
