I have a dell inspiron b130 that is about four years old. I am having trouble with it staying connected to the internet. upon startup... I can browse the web for about 2 minutes before i get the "ie cannot connect to the webpage". on my desktop it says my internet is connected to my router and running at full speed. also when i turn on my computer a window pops up and gives me a filename and says "you might be missing a root certificate". i am sure there is nothing wrong with the router itself because i have a macintosh that is connected to it and i am typing to you now from it. can anyone help me please?

Download and install this. It would update root certificates on your computer.

When did this problem start occurring?

Try Safe Mode with Networking..

To Restart your Computer in Safe Mode with Networking:
  • Restart your computer, holding or tapping F8 repeatedly, until you hear a beep, or get to the Advanced Options menu.
  • Scroll to Safe Mode with Networking, then press Enter.
  • You will see a large list of drivers loading.. this is normal, just be patient.
  • After a minute or two Windows will start loading, probably in a larger resolution than you are used to.
  • Log in as Administrator, or an account with administrator privileges.

Any difference there?

You can save the file. It is a .exe file type. Put in on a flash drive and then open it on the other unit.

Did you reset the router? (cycle power)
Did you reset the modem? If you have one. (cycle power).
