Alright so I am trying to help a friend out on connecting her internet. Seems her little sister messed with the computer and it long longer, no matter how many times we tried, wont connect to the internet. Now I have managed to make it 'Connect' or get a signal, but it still wont allow the user to connect to the internet.

I tried all methods possible. Mabe I did a step wrong or tow. Now what I did to take another extra step, I bought a new Network card which is this one
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833124101&Tpk=Etherfast PCI adapter and tried to install the driver, but it does not support Vista drivers.

So I must ask for help on two things:
1.) How do I connect to the internet, if its saying its 'Connected'
2.) If option one does not work, where can I fidn the drivers for Vista on that card.

Thanks again everyone!
 
Check your browser setting and make sure its not set to work offline. Also make sure you have no proxy settings enabled. What happens when you try to surf?
