Re: XP SP3 can't connect; Linux-Ubuntu can connect


Since multiple browsers are affected it sounds like the network card may
be having problems.

Use the command prompt (start > programs > accessories > command )
ipconfig  to see what you have  (if 169... ) you have a problem with NW.
Exit 
takes you back to GUI.
start > control panel > network and see if you have a device then right
click
and properties, look to see if you have TCP/IP, if so right click on it
and look
at properties.  You would be interested in automatically getting IP
address.
If IP was 169..... and you were supposed to automatically get an address
you have a problem with your router or cables.
