Cannot get web page on browser

[rss]

Hello

I cannot get a web page to come up on my IE browser I have a network connection but the message, this page cannot be displayed always comes up??

I am running IE version 6.0 on a laptop with Windows XP.

I know I have an IP address and have pinged this web site with 4 packets sent and received with none lost.

Please help??

How will I get firefox on that computer if I can't get out on the internet through my browser to download it??

Download it on good computer, put it on CD, and install on bad computer.

How is your laptop connected to the Internet? What type of connection do you have?

Hardwired Ethernet connection but this problem is also when I try connecting wirelessly as well.

Hit Enter.
Type in:
ping www.computerhope.com (<----watch for "space" after "ping")
Hit Enter.

ipconfig /all (<----there is a "space" after "ipconfig")
Hit Enter.
