I picked up an older computer and installed W2K Pro and all went good until I tried to connect to the internet. The problem is as follows:
The browser (IE) says I'm off line but the Local Area Connection Status shows me as being online. I use a cable modem to access the internet just so you know and all the lights indicate that all is well. I did do a ping and was given the following: Unknown Host
I am a self educated newbie and am unsure on what I should check next. Several months back I tried installing Mandrake 10.0 and had the same problem.
Any insight would be great!!! If you need any more information just let me know.
Thanks,
The Hammer
