My laptop is connecting to either my mobile broadband or a BT wireless connection but Internet Explorer cannot display anypages.

The mobile broadband shows 0% signal, but i've tried this on another machine (the one I'm on now) and it's OK.

Any ideas as to why I can't get on internet?

PS. I was trying to uninstall Norton around the time this happened and might have removed something?

Similar problem, difference network.

Might try same and run the Network Connection Wizard as or open Network Connections in Control Panel and make sure it wasn't Disabled.

Have tried that and still no joy.

The mobile broadband now shows 98% signal though, but the statistics screen shows now download speed?
