Internet Access

I am running Windows XP Home. The computer is connected
via the ethernet port to a Linksys router / wireless
access point. Programs on the XP computer can't access
the internet (i.e Nortons Anti Virus software for live
update, Microsoft Money, etc.) even though Internet
Explorer connects fine. The other computers connected to
the Linksys router connect to the internet OK, and their
programs can access the internet. So I think the problem
is with the XP computer set up. Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I am adding a new XP workstation to a NT 4.0 server LAN
and cannot get through the gateway on the server to the
internet. All the old PCs (WIN98) work fine to the
internety. The XP PC can see the server and mapped drives
etc. Just can't get out on the net.

Thoughts?

Hmmm....Can the XP machine ping something on the
Internet? Is this XP Home or Pro? If Pro, have you
joined the domain? Is TCP/IP set to be the default
protocol? Is there some kind of security set up on the
server that is not allowing the new machine out?

Hi

I am having major problems with an XP installation. when i
try to add an Internet connection through the wizard, the
dial up option is greyed out. I have looked in services
and see that the remote access connection manager service
is not started. When i try to start the service it tells
me access is denied.

Any help would be great

================================================== ===
I just love all of these totally vague postings.
How about mentioning what KIND of "XP installation" you are
talking about? Think that just MIGHT help someone else understand
what the cause of the issue is? Here is my GUESS:

You did an upgrade from an XP cdrom that did not include
Service Pack 1 and the previous installation of XP did include SP1.
When you did that upgrade, you removed SP1 and all XP Critical Updates
including the one that deals with the RPC vulnerability exploited by the
MSBLASTER worm and its variants. Before you connect to
the Internet, make sure you are behind a router with a firewall
or have a functioning third-party firewall or have the XP ICF
enabled. Then you will need to immediately go to the Windows
Update site and get all Service Packs (SP1A) and critical updates
installed. SP1A will need to be installed separately and be sure
to reboot before going back for the rest of the critical updates.

This article will restore your Dial Up connection:
