Last night I upgraded one of my pc's OS from Win98 to XP
Home. Prior to the upgrade, the pc accessed my broadband
Internet connect through one of my hubs connected to my
router. After the upgrade, I was unable to access the
Internet. After I ran the home network wizard, I was
still unable to access the Internet. I know that the NIC
card is functioning as the pc will identify one of the
other three computers I have in my workgroup. Have I
forgotten a step to add a computer to an existing home
network? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
 
The first question I always ask is if you can ping the web sites. if not,
check the DNS settings first, or post ipconfig /all here.
or you can go to http://www.ChicagoTech.net >do-it-yourself tools to do the
troubleshooting.
