    Network works but no internet.

    Hey Everyone,

    My friend has asked me to fix her computer and I'm having some serious difficulty.

    At her place, it was connected through a netgear router. I could see the network, but I couldn't access the internet. I tried going straight to the wall, but that didn't work.

    So I brought the computer back to my place. It is now connected with a cable to my belkin 54g router. I can see and access all the other computers on my network. When I open safari, or ie, it comes up with the no internet connection message.

    IP is good 192.168.2.8
    DG is 192.168.2.1

    Any suggestions?

    Cheers,
    James

    Save 20% on AVG Internet Security 2012 Suite!
    Thought I would post a bit more info:
    - Running XP Pro SP2
    - P4 3.4 GHz
    - 2 GB Ram

    None of the antispyware or antivirus programs I have running on here (AVG, Adaware, Spybot) can access the internet in their update programs either.

    Not sure if it's a problem, but my ethernet adaptor is called Local Area Connection 17. Not sure why it's 17...

    Cheers,
    James
