i just started using windows 7 a few days ago and my internet explorer hasnt been working. when i go on it it says cant display webpage but the connecton is perfectly fine. also the very, very few times the internet has worked. it always says "network 2" in the thing instead of 'network' how do access network 2?? how can i fix my internet?
Is this an upgrade installation from Vista or a clean install?

I didn't think you could do an upgrade from XP to Windows 7.
Anyway can you give us more details about your setup please, what type of computer do you have, desktop or laptop, and how do you connect to the Internet when it works, do you have a router or modem ?
Can you also tell us where you got your copy of Windows 7 and what version it is ?
The experts can't see your machine so need as many details as possible so they can help you.
alright well its a desktop, i plug a ethernet cord into my computer (its called mini itx) im not sure what it is i think its a router.? i dont know my brother does all the work. i have no idea what version it is but im convinced its home premium?
when it works it says 'network 2' and thats every time it works. whaen it doesnt work it says 'network' why is that?
sorry about all this. i dont really know computers that well.but thanks for the help
