Presumably those are called something like 1394 connection, LAN connection or a name that matches your internet card manufacturer? if so you don't need to do anything to change those

Hmm.. assuming this is on the NON-CONNECTING PC, you are getting out through the router OK.

Can you open Internet Explorer, go to tools/Internet Options/Connections and check that 'Never dial a connection' is set, then go to 'Lan settings' (on same page) and check that NO check boxes are ticked.

bt57 · 02-06-2005, 18:52

ok what now?

MovedGoalPosts · 02-06-2005, 18:55

Do as Johnhorb says

I've checked that 'Never dial a connection' is set, then go to 'Lan settings' (on same page) and check that NO check boxes are ticked.

Does this PC have current antivirus software?

bt57 · 02-06-2005, 19:01

norton antivirus warning that I need to renew in 21 days?

02-06-2005, 19:01

Hmm.. without reading back through 4 pages of posts, any firewall enabled (eg XP firewall)? If so, try temporarily disabling, just to eliminate that as a cause. (The router firewall will protect you).

bt57 · 02-06-2005, 19:03

router firewall is the only one enabled

Have you checked your router settings to make sure you are allowing traffic from the non-connecting PC?

Any idea when it last updated though?

Something odd is blocking the PC's ability to use standard internet settings. As John horb sayus, a firewall might be doing it, a virus migh also be messing.

As far as we can see if you have followed the setups here you should be able to use IE, from which your outlook express would then also work (if the individual mailbox settings were correct).

bt57 · 02-06-2005, 19:07

could you tell me how I do that?

MovedGoalPosts · 02-06-2005, 19:08

Dont use Norton myself, but if you open the program there should be a setting that will show you the date of the last update file.

performed a full system scan on the 20th of May 05
