WINDOWS CANNOT CONNECT TO THE INTERNET USING HTTP HTTPS OR FTP
I have windows xp.
If anyone could help id be very happy
Thanks

Do any other computers connect through the router & modem that you have, that this computer was using? What third part Anti-Virus/Internet Security software are you using on this machine? What does it show in Device Manager, for the Network adapter that you are connecting the computer to the router & modem, to get online.

 

No other computers connect to the modem. I only have a firewall that was on the computer when I got it. And im not very good with computers so the last part about device manager is lost on me. I apologize

 

Hi my friend , welcome to MG's :major

You can go to Start - Run devmgmt.msc - ok , it's what you need entering in Device Manager as brownizs told you about , if you are able to access in another computer you can download this tool

to insert it to a usb stick checking your system , what is your antivirus programme as brownizs asked you before ? You can look at this thread

the device manager:- realtek rlt8169/8110 family gigabit ethernet nic

im using trend micro internet security pro which doesnt seem to do its job.

looks like ill have to invest in a usb stick

 

Uninstall the Internet Security software and see if then you can connect to the outside world.

Who is your provider, what modem do you have, do you have a router between the modem & your computer, or is your modem one of those that has the router built into it?
