I am connected to internet; how come pages can't load?

I'm on my other computer, and it connects to the internet perfectly fine!
On my laptop, it shows it's connected to ** network, with an excellent connection. It's sending and receiving packets, al that.

But when I load IE or Firefox, it says Page Could Not Be Found.

Any ideas why? I'm not on a proxy or anything, just direct connection right now.

i wish it worked...

Thanksq

 

You might want to check your ip, and routing table. In console, you can type "ipconfig" to take a look at your IP and "route print" to see the routing table. And compare the results with the other computer.

 

did u by mistake enable the firewall!

 

what site are you trying to open? make sure the site works !!

 

Ok I think it was my firewall... it's updated and working now!
I also changed my IP as it may have been a conflict.
And yes, the sites I had tried worked on my other PC.

Thanks guys.. would never have thought of it!

 

I didn't know DP members help to troubleshoot PC problems too. lol. I'll keep that in mind.
