Tip: Run a free scan for common Windows errors ad

re: Internet Connection Sunday, February 17, 2008 at 5:06 pm Posted by appleoddity (2244 messages posted) Make sure you check your internet options.. Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Connection tab -> Lan Setup Make sure everything is unchecked, then try accessing the internet. Also, make sure there is no firewall/internet security software getting in the way, things like Norton Internet Security tend to be troublesome with this kind of stuff. Are you using IE? Go to a command prompt and type 'ping yahoo.com' find out what your results are.. Does it get ping replies or not? Maybe it gives a host not found error, which would signal a DNS issue?
