just got done battlin the spyware quake malware,,,well, it won...i reformatted my computer and starting fresh with antivirus software and adware stuff...anyway, when i open up explorer the comp. cant find a server..I havnt dug too deeply to try and figure out whats going on..i figured i came to the right place to get some help instead of scratchin my head for an hour.


To be more descriptive...i get "The page cannot be displayed" when i open internet explorer. I checked internet connections and my Net Adapter is Connected and enabled. Thats as far as ive gotten. ill be checkin back periodically so if u got a question ill answer it pretty quickly. thanks.

did you make sure your lan setting are checked in the box automatically detect settings then click ok

or go to your control panel open add and remove programs

on the left click on click on add and remove windows components

scroll down look for internet explorer make sure its checked

then click next follow the prompts

i just added the components that you explained above,,but im not sure where to find the box that lets it automatically detect an internet connection...

Under the Internet Protocol Properties there is a box checked "Obtain an IP address automatically"...if that is what your talkin about, i guess consider it done...still no connection

Ive also done the Network Setup Wizard in the Advanced tab of Connection Properties..no help
