IE Opens but I cannot brows the net. I have tried to reset IE - no luck. this is the same for both my wireless and hardwire connections.

Please update your system specs. The link is in my signature. Also, did you do an in-place upgrade, or did you do a clean install?

Make sure your firewall and/or antivirus are not blocking IE from the Internet.

Now, actually update your specs, per the link in my signature. Also, be more specific. There are quite a few Viao laptops out there.

What did you upgrade from? Vista 32 or 64 bit? What are you running now? 7 32 or 64 bit?

Another thing you could try is removing IE8 and re-adding it by doing the following.

• Open Start
• Type: Turn fea
• Press Enter
• Uncheck IE8
• Press OK
• Restart when asked

To re-install IE8 repeat this method but check IE8 this time.

Ok I have updated my system specs as best as I can. I have tryed turning off the automation detection setting and unistalling & reinstalling IE. I am running Win 7 ultimate 32. Any other ideas????

about the updating of system spec. I don't know why u want to not auto detect settings. ...

Can you do a ipconfig /all and show us your results?

 

[29ron]

Others have sugested to do this to try to help fix the problem

 

[29ron]

update - When I press the diagnose connection problem button it returns the following problem "the remote device or resource won't accept the connection" is this refering to the wireless router?

I believe the actual problem is that you can't get online which would point to your Nic drivers being the cause.

 

[29ron]

I was starting to think it was the NIC drivers but Outlook works just fine. as lousy as vista was I could still browse the internet.

 

[kegobeer]

What antivirus/security software do you have installed?

 

[29ron]

no anti virus software

 

[29ron]

Update - downloaded NIC drivers from hardware manufacturer website. Still no IE browsing. I can get mail thru outlook and can connect to my network harddrive via wireless connection. any additional suggestions!

maybe download firefox from another machine and save to a thumbdrive and install...just to isolate if its an IE8 issue or something else?
