walkinmanny... Okay. Here is another idea. Go to Control Panel cnd click "Internet Options". Internet Properties menu comes up. Click the "Connections" tab and where it says "to set up an internet connection, click "Setup"... do it. When I do this, mine says... "you already have an internet connection". Don't know, maybe it will tell you that you do not. My computer connects by wire to modem, and modem to cable service. I use Maxthon browser mostly, but sometimes use Chrome or Firefox.
