Hi
I'm grateful for anyone who can help me with this. It's driving me
nuts.
I have two PCs on a network at home which work perfectly. Both use XP
Pro /SP2 via a Linksys BEFSR41 router.
I added a third PC over Christmas which is running XP Home.
When the PC was switched on for the first time, XP Home needed
activating and this worked fine.
Once installation was complete, it was not possible to browse the
internet with IE. Outlook, Windows messenger also didn't work..
The IP settings are correct - and the router is talking to it. I can
ping the router from the XP Home PC but nothing on the internet.
The internal network works fine - it can see a shared printer and the
two other PCs. It just won't work on the internet.
Firewall is disabled.
I've checked all the network configuration settings and they are the
same as the PCs that are able to connect to the internet.
Can anybody offer help with this.
Thanks in advance.
Bruno.
