Internet trouble?

ZenFire · 05-09-2008, 08:29 AM

I'm having trouble connecting to the internet on my vista home premium, my network does show that internet is available and that it is identified but when I try to open a webpage it does not open at all. I have made certain that my Bitdefender firewall is not the cause by disabling it for a while and still I wasn't able to go on the internet.

It just confuses me that the network does show local and internet but that I cannot go on any webpages. Can someone please help?

I have somehow gotten it too work now by letting windows reset the network adapter, problem is now everytime I restart the computer I have to disable and enable the network adapter before I can go online.
