I have an older IBM thinkpad, but up until now i haven't had any issues with it. I'm able to connect to the internet through both wirelss and ethernet broadband connection but i can't access the web or anything else. I've uninstalled and reinstalled drivers. I've deleted profiles and recreated them. The end result is still the same, i have a connection and can even ping websites but i can't use firefox or internet explorer.
anyone have any suggestions? |
