Hi, can anyone help (i don't know much about
the technical stuff!). Opened computer this

mark in front of icon for internet. Clicked

everything i could in 'troubleshooting' but
no good. So am hooked up with ethernet cable

seconds then back
your modem is ok as you can get on the
internet

i guess mine must be internal. you don't
think it could be anything in the 'settings'
do you?

REASON I ASKED ABOUT THE CROSS ON THE SHIELD
WAS:
MY VIRUS PROTECTION IS SYMANTEC ANTI VIRUS
AND THEIR ICON IS A YELLOW SHIELD WITH A
BLACK CROSS

it may be one of few things--if you go to
control panel select system then hardware
then device manger if you have a yellow q
mark against any of your net work adaptors,
right click and reinstal them. make sure you
are connected with your cable to the internet
when you do as it will search all the
available driver updates. if this doesnt work
let me know
