Greetings,
I just recently BIOS protected my computer and disabled a number of network
related functions, including the internal WIFI card, the Internal network
card. I was just trying to protect myself from unwarranted acces.
At this time I have a USB Wide Area Network card. When I start it up, I can
ping sites like Google but not sites like Citibank etc. I suspect that
although Netstat and the WAN software indicates a network connection, perhaps
I don´t have one...
IE cannot connect, reporting an invalid web address. I installed Opera just
to see if it was a configuration problem with IE, but everytime I launch it,
I get, yes, IE.
So, to continue troubleshooting, I am wondering if anyone can tell me how do
disable IE as the default browser so I can see if I have the same Problem
with Opera.
If I do, can anyone tell me if it might be possible for the WAN card to
locate the signal and connect but perhaps my configuration at the BIOS level
prevents Network access? What would be the minimun configuration in the BIOS
to allow connectivity.
Well, if you have read this far, I appreciate it. I hope you can help,
because the box is rather useless right now.
Thank you.
