IE7 Keep getting page cannot be found

IE7
Windows XP

Hi I moved our main computer and added a DLink wireless USB to it and disabled my Ethernet card

The DLink wireless connects fine and communicates with the modem however when I open Internet Explorer it will not find my home page nor will it find any other sites just keep getting the Page cannot be found Error it just will not connect to the internet.

I disabled my fire wall (Comodo) but first made sure it was pointing to the DLink which it was. I also checked that IE was an allowed programme which it was
I disabled AVG as well.
But I still get this problem it happens with Google Chrome and Mozilla as well, I checked the options in IE.

I set my daughters comp up with an identical DLink wireless and IE, Mozila finds the internet and loads the home page.

I now do not know what to look for next any assistance would be appreciated

Hi Richard, welcome to TSF..

are you able to ping any websites?

- Click Start -> Run -> type:
cmd
- Click OK
- This will launch your Command Prompt. At the flashing cursor, type:
ping www.google.com
- Press Enter

Let us know the results please.

Also, are you able to download mail with your mail client and connect using programs like Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo?

Hi

Thankyou for the welcome and thanks for the help so far hopefully we can resolve it.

Did what you requested and get the following message
Ping request could not find host www.google.com

Tried Outlook will not connect, tried Yahoo, GMail and get the page cannot be found

Again the wireless adaptor is connecting to the modem and shows all is OK just the browsers will not connect I am just confused why this would be
