I have another PC. It's a bit better then this one I'm using. However it won't let me get on the web. I've tried system restore. Didn't work. I've tried turning off my fire wall. Didn't work. Soon I'm going to try and throw it against the wall unless someone has a better idea. Thanks for reading. Dave

It would help us if you could indicate any error or warning messages you get when you attempt to connect?

OK couple of possibly silly ideas.
Is it plugged into the network/internet router and how do you share the connection ?
Make sure ALL of the network cables are properly seated, or even swap them with the other machine as you know this is good.
While you are looking at hardware, are there flashing lights on the network card that show activity.

There's a couple of things for starters.

Thanks for your reply. I don't share the connection I just put this PC on instead of the other one. There is an internet connection it just doesn't allow me to get on it. Hmmm a real head scratcher this one
