Hi,
you should first check out if you have any reasonable IP address on your
computer. Start -> Run -> type: cmd -> click ok. Thats if you have xp or win
2000 if that not working try "command" as "cmd".
There should be command promt screen then. Type ipconfig and check out the IP
address. If thats something else than 169.x.x.x the computer is connected to
network. If the ip is 10.x.x.x or 192.x.x.x the network is behind NAT (those
ranges used normally but there could be others too).
Then after checking IP try command: ping www.ewido.net there should be text
like "Reply from ...". If theres replys the network connection works and the
problem is in your browser, firewall or windows system. If that doesnt work try
out to ping IP 195.39.104.68, which is same as www.ewido.net.
If ping works with IP and not with the name DNS server is not working for some
reason. DNS server might be down or windows installation might have some
problems with TCP/IP.
Webroot spysweeper is quite good program, but I would try out the ewido because
I have found out that no program is perfect ;).
