I have a windows xp home sp2, with a gigabit ethernet adapter. MY computer says that i'm connected to the internet and running at 100mbs. But i can't browse any WEBPAGES. I've checked my internet protocol settings, but they seem to be normal. I've even tried resetting everything to default, but it STILL doesn't work. I've tried manually setting my ip address, dns servers, and submask gateways, but still i can't browse any webpages. I have a level one router connected to my pc, and i just got a new modem. I've checked and rechecked all my internet connection settings, and even re-set them, but nothing helps. I've tried connecting directly to my modem (not via router) but it still doesn't help. I've scanned my pc for viruses, and even ghosted my system to a 2 month old status. I've checked all my cables and wiring, even changed them, but still... I NEED help, is there anyone who thinks they know what is wrong with my pc?Did you try connecting directly to you're modem.
If that doesn't even work you'll have to contact you're ISP.

Jonas i've tried direct connection already, and i've contacted my ISP too. THey say that everything seems to be working fine. My wireless internet is working, just not my desktop. Any further advice?it could be you're network card.
Is there any other computer that is able to connect to the internet?

Jonas yes. my isp sent some ppl to check my network configuration and settings. THey also tried it using their laptop. it worked fine. However, i thought a network card comes with the motherboard. I tried using motherboard's lan card too, but it doesn't work.I assume you tried updating you're driver did you?

Jonas No actually, i didn't. Do you know where i can get the download?type the win key+pause break -> hardware -> device manager
Look for you're network card and right click it. Then click update.

Jonas I re-installed windows home edition, and then upgraded it to sp2. But then, my internet went back to LIMITED to no connection. I tried direct connection to the modem, and it worked fine. Is there something wrong with my router configurations?
