Reinstalled XP, but now I can't access the internet

Hello

I recently reinstalled Win XP on the same computer on which this copy has been installed.  The computer will have access to our home WiFi network, although he does not always see other computers on the network.  Worse, is that when I run IE6 Service Pak 2 (the version that is installed on the original disc), I can pull up the MSM homepage which will remain for about 15 seconds, then I get an error that IE has to close.  I think it boils down to "I can't access the Internet."  Tried everything that I can think and followed a number of suggestions on this forum.  I've seen comments that I need the update to Windows Service Pak 3 here, but, of course, I can't that without access to the internet.

Any ideas?  Thank you, Susan

A few thoughts...
-from another computer...
-Make sure you get all the drivers for your computer from the manufacturers Web site
-Download a form any anti-virus (MSE for example)
-Download SP3 from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24

Once you have done this, I hope you can get on the Internet. Once there, get all your updates.

I hope this helps.

    At some point in the past (I don't know the exact date) Adobe "merged" the original update manager in cloud Update Manager, which means that you no longer use your original update manager

    Go to your computer manufacturer's support web site
    and search for the Windows XP drivers for your specific computer or motherboard model number.

    If there are Windows XP drivers, then download to a folder on your hard drive and burn it to a CD/DVD.
    Then, after installing XP install all device drivers, starting with the card mother/chipset drivers.
    LAN, Audio, USB, SATA, etc, and so on.

    Note: If there is no XP driver listed, then your computer is not compatible Windows XP.

    If you have an Intel motherboard, you can try the Intel driver update utility: http://www.intel.com/support/detect.htm?iid=dc_iduu

    Graphics/video drivers:
    Check the download site of the manufacture of the graphics card for the newer Windows XP drivers for your card.

  • Computer shows as connected... but we can not access the internet.

    Original title: but alas... internet no.

    Recently, we had this problem where our shows as connected pc... but we can not access the internet.  What I've been able to solve, is that somehow my IP settings change.

    I'm going to "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically", but of course... when the problem occurs again I find that my "Obtain DNS server automatically an address" has been changed to "use the following DNS server address".

    What is causing my computer to change my settings?

    I think you're DIY too.  Normally, your computer and your wireless router assign dynamic IP addresses, and they change periodically - that is part of the security design.

    In your case, the DNS server is the router.

    Most of the time what you describe is your computer is able to find a wireless router but the router doesn't send an IP (its normal function).

    This is usually:

    1. Your Internet service provider is down or your connection to it is broken.  If this is the case there is nothing you can do about it.
    2. Your computer network security key does not match the one in the router.

    1 reset the modem & router.  Follow these instructions precisely: http://canadiantech.info/?page_id=136

    2. If that does not resolve the problem, you must remove this network from your list of networks to manage Windows 7.  Then try to connect again using the network key, you know.

    3. If this does not work, you will need to do a factory reset on the router and re - install the router according to the router set up instructions.

    4. If after all the above does not correct the problem, you must replace your router.

  • Load firefox 3.6.14 and now can't access the internet. Computer restored to the previous version works now. 3.6.14 I tried again and the same problem, any ideas?

    Using windows 7. As soon as the update of firefox, I can not access Internet. I tried Internet Explorer works well. I have restored the previous computer Firefox and it works fine. Tried the update again and the same problem can not access the internet.

    This is usually caused by a firewall blocking the new version of Firefox. For more information, see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Cannot+connect+after+upgrading+Firefox

  • I can't access the internet with IE 11 on my PC so I would like to download Firefox on my laptop and install it on my PC. I have been using Firefox on my laptop.

    I use Mozilla Firefox on my laptop and I would like to install it on my PC because Internet Explorer 11 stopped working. I can't access the internet so I downloaded the installer of Firefox on my laptop and saved on my PC. It initializes, but unable to connect to the internet to retrieve the program. How can I work around this problem and install your browser?

    Unfortunately, it did not work. I tried downloading earlier and it cannot connect to the internet. I need the program to install. I reset IE 10 as their recommended technical support and I even tried to reinstall, but that no longer works. I'd rather have Firefox

  • When a user logs off Windows 7 x 64 session, the rest can not access the internet until the restart network card

    Hello! I found a problem with my system: when a user logs off Windows 7 x 64 session, the rest can not access the internet, until restarted network card. Reinstall NIC driver did not help. Problem appears on a built-in adapter, in the motherboard and a separate PCI card too.  Same router via its web interface is not accessible. Windows cannot automatically fix this problem after trying to diagnose a problem with his problem Diagnostic tool. After the diagnosis in the DETAILS window, MORE tests, it displays a message like this "computer remote can not receive a connection via the Internet (HTTP) Service Port". "Unplugging" a corresponding Local network connection and then reconnect solves the problem immediately. Switching between users, when two of them are connected do not cause this problem. Important: the problem occurs in the account of the user who was logged on the system FIRST after the PC was on, when the user disconnected on newspapers of a SECOND. If the SECOND user is logged in and the FIRST user disconnects, SECOND can still access the internet. It depends only on the sequence of the user's record, not on the particular user name. And one more interesting fact: after each user registered on and outside just for once, the problem seems to disappear until the PC is turned off and turn it back on!

    System details:

    Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-VLK
    CPU: Intel Core i7 3770 K
    RAM: 8 GB

    Hi, Mahesh,

    and thank you very much for your help! Update firmware driver and router LAN did not help me get rid of my problem, but greatly improved my experience of networking in general. Anti-virus software was not guilty, also, but! I found the "iControl" network software, installed as part of Sogiciel 'AI Suite II' (that came on the CD of motherboard ASUS driverssoftware), runnning and causing not only the problem mentioned above, but would also decrease upload speed up to 0.3 MB/s, when download passes to nearly 100 Mbps! Moreover, searching the Internet, I have found a lot of complaints about the behavior of this software, so that people watch you the occasional installation of this piece... sweet ;) As "iControl network" has been uninstalled (not only turned off in the settings of 'Ai Suite II'!), I'm totally happy with my system performance.

    Best regards

  • Satellite A110-277: can not access the internet wireless

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A110-277. We have wireless internet access in our House and it was workin fine, but since a few days I can not access the internet. My laptop is certainly recognizing internet connection wireless, but through IE or Firefox it just does not connect.

    For some reason, he worked briefly through Firefox, but then that stopped. I don't see what anyone, I have done differently, other than (finally) updated Windows Media Player, but why would that cause problems, I don't know!

    I would really appreciate help as soon as POSSIBLE, that the internet is my lifeline to work!

    Hmm, I guess that you can connect to the WLan router and can insert the WiFi encryption key successfully right I'm right?

    How does LAN connection? Can connect you to the internet using the LAN cable?
