Re: Can't connect to the internet

Most likely, it is some security setting in some software that is blocking
something necessary for you to access the Internet. If you have your own
firewall, be sure the XP Firewall is disabled. Open Control Panel, open the
Windows Firewall and disable it if you have a separate firewall. If you
have your own firewall, check its logs for something it shows as blocked
that corresponds with when you try to access the Internet through this
machine.

Popup blockers and ad blockers can also be the source of such issues, check
to be sure your antivirus software doesn't have an option or a setting that
might be blocking something that blocks this machines access to the
Internet.
