Default Internet Explorer and me.

I have a Dell 2.0GHZ computer, that has a linksys wireless adapter that connects to my routier in the other room. The concection says that everything is A'OK, but for some reason or anther when I try to use IE(my only browser) it wont connect to any sites. I have Norton Security, I have heard that they have some bugs they need to work out and was woundering if that could possibly be the problem. I do a system restore from time to time and it will sometimes work for a day or so, but then when I turn it off, when it is turned on again it will not work. Please help

Well do you have a valid local IP address? (i.e., 192.168.x.x)
Lots of guides here
