[IAEP] [support-gang] Wish this little PC was an XO! :-(

[Caryl Bigenho]

Hi All...

Nothing is/was checked in the LAN settings. Guess I will have to try the system restore. Think I will wait until morning to get started on that.  It seems like I might be getting closer to the solution. At least I know what the problem isn't.  Thanks folks.  I'll report back tomorrow.  Sure wish I could just plug in a usb stick hold down the game keys and reboot!

Caryl,
Make sure NOTHING is checked in the LAN settings tab of the internet connection dialog. Even if there was no proxy set, if that check mark is next to the box it will produce this problem.
If you are sure that there is no option enabled that would relate to proxy settings, then I would use "System Restore" and go back one restore point at a time until it works again. You will not lose any documents in this process. 
Hope this helps,
Lucas J. Chumley

I am able to use Skype, so I know the wireless is working fine.  The wireless status report says I am connected at 54.0Mbps and that the signal strength is excellent.
