check to see if the XP firewall is turned on. If so, try turning it off to see if internet access works. Only other thing I can think of is take the router out of the equation and try connecting up directly from the internet device (ie: cable modem, dsl, etc.)

0	Try an Ubuntu LIVE CD to see if you can connect if you do then I will say reimaged that sucker, if the problem is still there then is got to be something in relation with the hardware. answered Sep 16 '11 at 13:43 mauulate 1●5●5●6

0	Try changing the DNS from being assigned by DHCP to specific DNS servers like openDNS or Google DNS. I use Google DNS which is 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. answered Sep 16 '11 at 14:58 Duodave 4.6k●40●49●98
