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

[Broni]

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?

[rss]

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

[Broni]

Go Start>Run, type in:
cmd
Hit Enter.
Type in:
ping www.computerhope.com (<----watch for "space" after "ping")
Hit Enter.
What does it say?

[rss]

please ignore the typo having two .. after www I put it in the ping command properly.

[Broni]

Go back to cmd, type in:
ipconfig /all (<----there is a "space" after "ipconfig")
Hit Enter.
What does it say"

yes I know that but the computer having this problem is not the computer I am currently using for obvious reasons.

[Broni]

Yeah, Ok...
You said earlier:

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

then ping didn't work second time around?
How is laptop connected? Through router?

Hi,

Even I am also facing the same problem.
I used to get connection earlier.. but suddenly it started showing problem.. 
I use a portable USB modem to connect through dial-up. 
But now I am able to get connected.. which is through another PC.

My first PC was not able to connect still. I had re-installed XP on that system.. but not successful.
The problem machine is installed with IE6, but I have installed firefox also with no success.

I wonder what could be the issue?  Do I have to install XP after formatting the harddisk ?!!!!

Awaiting valuable advises.

No The computer is not connected throught a router it is connected through a comcast modem.
Didn't mean come off as being a wise *censored* this is just frustrating.
