New PC Cannot Connect to Internet

[Buck Turgidson]

I have a new PC with XP Pro. It is connected to the Internet via a cable
modem and Linksys wired router. I can ping the other machine in my basement
(where I am posting this from), and I can ping www.yahoo.com. However, I
cannot load a web page.

The wizard thing reports that all devices are working fine. I am not sure
what else to try. Any ideas on what to try next?

Try pinging the IP and Computer name from both machines. If it times out
from one machine to the other, check your firewalls trusted zone on the
machines to make sure the IP is within the trusted range.

That's what's confusing me. Each PC can ping the other. And the new PC can
ping www.yahoo.com. But I can't get the browser to work.

Are you using a software firewall and if so which one?
Are you using DHCP and obtaining an IP automatically?
What protocols/components are installed in your network LAN properties?
As mentioned before, can you ping each machine by name and not timeout?

Try opening a command prompt and type the commands below pressing Enter
after each. Take note of the spaces in the commands.

From new to old and old to new:
ping computername
If it fails either way there's an IP or Name resolution problem.

On the new:
ping 127.0.0.1
If it fails it may be a TCP/IP stack problem.

ipconfig /all **Does all look proper and fit?
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /registerdns
exit

Try to connect, if no joy:
Delete the contents of:
C:\Documents and Settings\Your user name\Local Settings\Temp
C:\Windows\Prefetch
Uninstall all components/protocols, reboot, reinstall and reboot.
Try to connect.

Try entering the dns server address on network adapter.

Make sure your browser isn't set to use a proxy (IE - Internet Options,
Connections, LAN Settings - Uncheck any proxy settings)... Maybe that't
help? Also, get to the command prompt and type in 'proxycfg -d'... Any
success? Cheers!
