i recently had to buy a new motherboard
so after i formated the harddrive, reinstalled windows and installed all the drivers(properly)
i cant connect to the internet
it says im connected. 100 mbps
but once i open i explorer "this page cant be displayed"
originally i had it through a router and a 50 ft cable, so i first connected straight to the modem
after that didnt fix anything i connected that cord to a different computer to make sure it wasnt the cord and i got internet from the same modem
i have time warner roadrunner, but they dont help at all
that stupid robot just kept saying "were busy, goodbye"
so i really have no idea what it could be
any ideas would be fantastic
thanks :)

Is your router saying your internet is connected in the configuration page?

im not using the router anymore, im connected straight to the modem
and im positive the ether net cable is working properly

So, you're through a modem via a ethernet cable. So it would come up as a Local Area Connection.

Check that the network settings and DNS are set to automatic.

Start > Control Panel > Network Connections > Right Click on 'Local Area Connection', Properties, Internet Protocol TCP/IP.

Check that both the IP and DNS are obtained automatically.

alright, i checked them and they are all set to automatic conf.
i know my way around a computer somewhat and ive tried all the little stuff and double checked myself, but i just cant find the problrm
