Windows 2000 and IE 6?

Question

Hi, i have an old Fujitsu Lifebook that is running windows 2000 (with IE 6).Anyway, i cant connect it to the internet, i have tried connecting it with a wirless card, and also with an ethernet cable to my router. It is showing that they are both connecting, and saying the connection speed. But, when i go to internet explorer it says ' cannot connect to internet, work offline ect', i know it has got to be something easy, but i can figure it out. Thanks alot people !!

Answer 1

First see if you are getting an IP address.Goto Start - Run and type 'cmd" in the run box , Type ipconfig and see if you get a address. If you do then, try to ping a site. type " ping www.yahoo.com" see if you get a reply. If you do, then it's IE and maybe the proxy setting are on.

Answer 2

Your ISP might be using proxy settings. Contact your Internet Service Provider for assistance. Connectivity icon simply shows the connectivity between your laptop and the router you are using.

Answer 3

it may be the internet browser try using a few browsers e.g. firefox or google chrome.
