Re: New PC Cannot Connect to Internet

Are you using a software firewall and if so which one?
Are you using DHCP and obtaining an IP automatically?
What protocols/components are installed in your network LAN properties?
As mentioned before, can you ping each machine by name and not timeout?

Try opening a command prompt and type the commands below pressing Enter after each. Take note of the spaces in the commands.

From new to old and old to new:
ping computername
If it fails either way there's an IP or Name resolution problem.

On the new:
ping 127.0.0.1
If it fails it may be a TCP/IP stack problem.

ipconfig /all **Does all look proper and fit?
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /registerdns
exit

Try to connect, if no joy:
Delete the contents of:
C:\Documents and Settings\Your user name\Local Settings\Temp
C:\Windows\Prefetch
Uninstall all components/protocols, reboot, reinstall and reboot.
Try to connect.

That's what's confusing me. Each PC can ping the other. And the new PC can
ping www.yahoo.com. But I can't get the browser to work.

Try pinging the IP and Computer name from both machines. If it times
out
from one machine to the other, check your firewalls trusted zone on the
machines to make sure the IP is within the trusted range.
