This can be the possible reasons that your net is not working. Any one of the following issues can cause problems when you try to communicate with a server on the Internet:

* The server is not functioning correctly or has been temporarily removed from the Internet.
* Your Internet browser is not configured correctly.
* The TCP/IP configuration for your dial-up connection to your ISP is incorrect.
* Your ISP's Domain Name Service (DNS) server is not working correctly.
* Hosts files in the System_drive:\Windows, System_drive:\Windows\System32\Drivers, and System_drive:\Program Files\Network Ice\Black Ice directories may be damaged or corrupted.

Hi

Windows XP Desktop is showing that its connected to the internet, but when I try to open internet explorer it says. Cannot Find Server. Page can not be displayed. How do I get it to connect? My laptop is wired to a router thats
connected to my desktop and the internet on there works fine. For some reason though just the internet on my Desktop does not work. I also hooked my internet directly to my laptop and it works fine. But still my desktop is showing the same thing. I recently tried to Install Windows Service Pack 3 and there was a problem. It said Access Denied then quit the Installation.

Thanks

Hello
Sometimes the detection pulls the wrong driver. I'd start with the manufacturer's website and download a driver specific to the card. Always try the simplest solution first, as the complicated ones can mess up ten other things in the process.
Thanx
