Can't connect to internet.

Ok thanks orbital! i'll give that a go. One more little detail - may be because i dont have the drivers or something, but on ipconfig, it says:

Ethernet Adapter - Local area connection
Media state. . . . . . . . . . . Media Disconnected

Tunnel adapter Isator (something something something
Media State. . . . . . . . . . . Media Disconnected

Ok i found out what the problem was! yay lol. My computer has 2 ethernet ports, a Realtek one, and this other one. The realtek one didnt work on xp for some reason, so i was using the other one, but the other one doesnt work on windows 7, but the realtek one does! lol random, but it works !!!!!!!!!

I have solved my problem connecting to the Internet by going to the Security tab in IE8 and lowering its' slider to the bottom. Now I can connect. Avira still can't get updates but that may be a different problem.

just tried this and it worked also then reset back to default level but unticked the "enable protected mode" and now all is working

While on your admin account, which connects, you might try installing Firefox browser, and seeing it it then works on your user account. You will then be certain the problem is with your ie8 settings

I'm having problem connecting to internet with my new instalation of windows 7 Ultimate 64bit too.
Here my home network map: my pc(192.168.1.252 255.255.255.0(static), gateway and DNS is 192.168.1.254) connect by wire to a WRT-54GS wireless router running dd-wrt firmware(192.168.1.253 255.255.255.0),this router forms a wireless bridge with a 2wire wireless broadband modem(192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0) to connect to the internet

the WRT-54GS config is ip 192.168.1.252 255.255.255.0
-Gateway 192.168.1.254
-DNS 192.168.1.254

(1)Ping from my pc to the router WRT-54GS is ok
(2)Ping from router WRT-54GS to 2WIRE is ok
(3)Ping from PC to 2WIRE failed

The same setting under windows Vista work fine, my other laptop can til connect wirelessly to the 2WIRE router and surf the web alright, from router WRT-54GS ping google.com ok.
Thx for help, if you need any more infomation i ll provide

I couldn't connect my new W7 machine to my wireless router, like many others posting on this thread. But my solution was to change my router's settings, ever so slightly. My router was set up to use WEP security using a Shared Key. No matter what I did to make my W7 machine match these settings, nothing worked. I finally had to change the router setting from Shared Key to Automatic. Voila! Now it works.

All I did was uninstall Norton Anti Virus and was able to connect.
Done

Had this problem after I upgraded a clients HP Pavilion DV7 with Realtek NIC to Windows 7 from Vista.

Ran the Norton Removal Tool to fix the problem.

Download and run the Norton Removal Tool to remove your Norton 2006 product or later version

Reboot after running the tool!

Norton products = EPIC FAIL!

I have a new pc with windows 7 installed which has been working fine for about two months but starting yesterday IE displays the Connecting... message but never connects to the internet. After several minutes I have to click the X icon to close out at which point I get the Internet Explorer is not responding message.

Anyone have any idea what's wrong with it? I'd download a new version of IE but can't seem to find a place where I can do that.

Thanks in advance,

D.R.
