I'm thinking the network connection isn't being logged onto since there is more than one on that machine...

Ok here is the results:
pinging www.1.google.com [209.85.165.147]with 32 bytes of data;
reply from 209........;bytes =32 tiime=118ms ttl=241
(it repeats this four time)
then ping statistics for 209.85.165.147;
packets sent=4 received =4 lost=0
approximate round triptimes in milli seconds min 116 max118 average 116

more than one what?    Remember I am not very computer savvy

ping command shows, you do have connection.
Now to clarify couple of things...
What Windows version is it?
You said, you tried IE, and Firefox, correct?
Then, once you said, you can't open browser, and later you said, you can't actually open any web page. Which one is it?

[makeupnurse]

Sorry, to clarify  I can open the browser but it says unable to display web page......can not locate server........Thank you so much for your help

Windows XP

[Broni]

Go Start>Run, type in:
cmd
Click OK.

In Command Prompt window, type in following commands, and hit Enter after each one:
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

Restart computer.

tried this It still shows unable to locate server can not open page............Shall I just give up??this is driving me crazy,,,,,,,I know it should work since I used it on this machine before.

[Broni]

Try one more command from Command Prompt:
netsh int ip reset
Restart computer.

[makeupnurse]

Nope still the same

[Broni]

I'm out of options, other then trying different network card.

[makeupnurse]

Thanks so much for yout time and effort     Be Blessedd!!!

I wish, I could have helped more....

Wow! I figured out the problem was with my anti virus Zone alarm
Even after I put my connection in the trusted zone it would  not let me connect
The only way I figured it out, was when I had another desktop working on it and then I inserted my card and connected  to the internet, then decided to install Zone Alarm on this computer as well,,,,,,sure enough all the sudden I could not  get the computer to recognize the connection as soon as I opened the web browser it would show unable to locate page,

I have contacted Zone alarm to try and find out why it did this.

Bottom Line .......at least I know it was not the computer!!!!! Wow problem solved
