    Hi all.
    As my screen says, I have no internet connection.
    I had to reload Windows XP after my PC crashed.
    I can connect to my network but just not the Internet. This is on wireless or cable.
    I've disabled the authentication.
    I've also disabled encryption.

    See the attached photo.

    After reading the post about the sale, and with not much other available info, I suggest checking the date & time.

    How is it set up in Control Panel > Internet connections? Are your drivers all installed after your "crash"?

    Did you actually install the chipset and network adaptor drivers?

    Hi Dingus. If you right click on the Local Area Connection and click on Status and then click on the Details button, what is the IP Address that shows under IPv4 Default Gateway?

    Thanks Terminator.
    I've tried both static and Dynamic IPs but nothing helps.
    I've also tried using different subnet addresses.

    Ok, but does Windows XP show you an IP address that is associated with the connection? If so what does Windows show you?

    Hi Even.
    I can find an IP in properties in Network connections.
    I've tried static and dynamic (DHCP)

    Maybe you need help from a professional IT. Bring your laptop to the store and have them set up.

    Click Start< All Programs< System Tools< Command Prompt and type the following commands and hit enter after typing in each command.

    netsh int ip reset

    netsh reset winsock

    Reboot the computer and see if your Internet connection works.

    Also what is your routers IP address? Can you ping your router?
