I have a laptop running win xp which refuses to bring up any web pages via internet explorer, or firefox. It says it has connected a strong wireless connection and has no problem connecting. I just cannot get a web page. There is another laptop and desktop in the house which both work fine.
I have tried everything, ipconfig, winsockfix.
There are no firewalls set up on the laptop. The internal wireless card is working fine also.
WHICH GENIUS CAN HELP ME TODAY??
