Your firewall may be preventing access to the DSL connection. Norton does this at first, same thing happened with me, it sorted itself out after a few days, I wouldnt worrie about it too much. \n\nI wouldnt use the trail of Norton Internet, pointless. Either download a full verion of www.waushare.com but the servers down...\n\nIf you firewall is preventing access then go into controll panell and go on to to firewall, turn it off see if that helps.\n\nIts Norton thats your problem, but its okay nothing to worrie about :)\n\nLuca

Ok, a few steps:\n1. Try connecting the modem to the computer. If u are unnable to connect to the internet the the problem could be youre modem(mo signal or hardware malfunction) or the cable you are using\n2. If step 1 succeds (and youre connection is ok) try connecting your modem to the router, router to the computer, access the router from youre computer (it mostlikely has a web interface accesable by a private space address - check the routers instruction manual to see it's default address and what address you should use for youre computer) and try to configure the wan interface on youre router....If that fails hmmm..I never got to that but come back and we'll try more :D

that means that you are not connected- you have to make sure that you are connected first before you browse-\nbasic trouble shooting will be turning off modem any router and pc- turn on modem first- wait for dsl light- turn on router and pc- check dsl profile if it says connected or GUI or modem interface- if not- call ISP provider.. =)

Be sure your wireless network card/laptop is really connected to the internet. Likewise your laptop might be just connected to a LAN connection, that's why you will not be able to open up websites. Ip addresses should be dyanmic (automatically detect settings). You can change your ip address at TCP/IP settings.\n\nIn this case you might also need to check the wireless connection settings. I think should be located at your taskbar, I don't know what the color of the icon because it depends on what wifi card you are using. Another thing is you should be near the WiFi access point which provides internet connection for you. You will not have internet connection by simply using your laptop. Therefore an access point is very important, that is the device which provides net connection for you and you should be at least near it about 10-20 feet to get a better speed.\n\nI'm not sure this helps but Good Luck! :)

check you ethernet cable.  It is like a large phone line running to the back of your computer.  Make sure it is plugged in on both ends.  Also try unplugging and replugging your cable/dsl modem or router

Try changing your internet security settings. Also, try to uninstall particular program that's giving you problems connecting and then reinstall. Remember to get rid of registry links before reinstalling if you go that rout.

Not being able to browse to a particular website may be caused by a corrupt file in the browser cache.  Try clearing the cache and cookies and then accessing the page again. \n\nIf that doesn't work and you are running WinXP, Win2000 or WinNT, go to Start->Run and type in ipconfig /flushdns (there is a space after ipconfig).

YOu don't give enough information about your system setup.\nFIrst of all, you don't need software, most likely, so dump it.\n\nIs your computer ethernet cable attached directly to the modem?  Or is there a router too?\n\nIf no router and just a modem and computer and ...\nIf the modem is lit up, showing data, then, you can try to reset the basic IP setting in the windows software.\n\nFirst step, power down the modem, and wait a minute or so. Then power it back on. Then follow the instructions below.\n\nGo to START, Run, and type in the word, COMMAND..  When at the black screen prompt, type in IPCONFIG  /RELEASE\nthere is a space between the first word and the forward slash\nThen type in IPCONFIG  /RENEW\nremember the space between the first word and the slash!\n\nAlso note that after each instruction, it might take a moment for the computer to resolve the command. \nOnce you are back at the prompt, Exit from the command line window. Now...\n\nSee if that works.  Try to connect to the internet. Does it work?  Yes?  NO?   Let me know.  Email me if you want with exact details and I will try to help.

quickest way to see if it is just your line and not your programs.\nDisconnect the phone line from the back of pc, with the same line connect to a LAND-LINE CORDED TELEPHONE.  Pick up handle and listen for a dial tone do this repeatedly if necessary.\n\nThen hook everything up again if it works then it just needed a boost, probably your providers issues.

Pls check the Internet connection proxy and then proceed.This happens because the browser is not able to detect the Internet connection.

A couple of things to check..\n\nIf you used the computer to access the internet with dial-up before, be sure that you set Internet Options/Connections to "Never dial a connection".\n\nDo other USB devices work when connected to the computer?  With certain internal hardware (AMD processor and VIA USB controller) your USB ports may not work at all.\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/q240075/\n\nHope these help..

Hooking up in a wireless connection is somehow easy. Make sure your wireless card was installed properly and that you must have a router too and wireless  is enabled on your router ( depends on what brand)... Have your ISP username and password ready for authentication, if not call your provider. \n\nIf you are using Win XP w/ SP2 then just try to view your wireless connection and check if there is any wireless connection available in your network. Try to connect and if not successful check if you got error message. You can visit microsoft.com about wireless connectiviy.Check for this error message: "limited or no connectivity".\n\nYou can also check you default gateway (run > cmd > ipconfig /all) and access it using your browser.\n\nConnecting it "hard-wired" ( using an ethernet cable ) would let you configure it easier bu accessing you modem and getting info tehre on whats best thing to do.\n\nTake note that if your wireless card or adpater is insatlled properly then you dont need to do the steps i stated above. Try viewing your wireless network if theres any and try to connect. Having a hard time accessing it, call your internet service provider.\n\nPLease enable WEP key on your router for your own security. Good luck!
