Re: Cannot access websites using Internet Explorer

Simply start the program from Start | Program | Communications.

Tap the PING tool and enter a hostname. Tap PING and see if you receive a
valid response or TIMEOUT. If if fails using a name, use an IP Address to a
known host (always used www.wired.com).

Also, there is an option to show the connection information, like current IP
Address ,DNS server, Gateway, etc. This will tell us if your connection is
really ok. But only if you know your network enough to validate this
information.
