Can't connect to the internet after reinstalling win98se
We have a small three computer network. My son was having big problems
with his computer so I reinstalled Windows 98se on his computer. Everything went fine....except that he can't connect to the internet. I checked all of his settings and all of his hardware and everything seems to be configured right. I can't find any errors. He just can't connect. However, he can see the other computers on the network and they can see him...and share files. Any ideas? Sharon

The problem ended up being with his virus program I could ping www.google.com, but neither of the browsers would load pages(This page cannot be displayed message with IE), nor would his MSN or Yahoo Messemgers connect. The virus program would also not connect to get the updates. After trying everything else I finally completely uninstalled his virus program and then the computer could connect again. I am now reinstalling the Virus program and so far so good. Apparently come of the virus program files became corrupted during the reinstallation of Windows.
