I have a PC with windows XP familly.
I normally use firefox or opera.
For no apparent reason (I did not change any settings) the connection did not work anymore on the PC. It is linked through a cable to the modem. The laptop can go on the internet, as normal.
My PC does not seem to have any viruses (full scan with Bit Defender). It receives and sends signals, which tells me it's connected, I even could connect to a game sever!! Still, both Firefox nor Opera would work. Neither can IE and even BitDefender cannot connect anymore...
Any idea???
Thanks

How can i change my ID address?

You will want to check the following:
1. Click "start"
2. Click "control Panel"
3. If not already in classic view, use the link on the left and switch to "classic view"
4. double click "network connections"
5. Find the connection named "Local area Connection" (may have a 2 or three after it) and right click on it.
6. select properties from the drop-down menu
7. Under "This connection uses the following", locate the one that says "internet protocol(TCP/IP)" and highlight it.
8. click the button below it that says "properties."
9. Make sure that both of the options on the properties window are set to "automatically detect."

This is the only thing I can think of, unless your bit-Defender has a built-in firewall. You might check the setting and make sure that your internet protocol port is not being blocked by the firewall. Also, If you do have a firewall running other than that built in to windows XP, you will need to be sure and disable XP's firewall, otherwise, they will be competing and block your connections.

Hope this helps,

feel free to email me if you still have any issues and I'll try to help.
