We have a small network at home, with 4 PCs, through a central router. Just re-installed winXP on one of them.
LAN working fine: we can see each other, transfer files etc. The network is ok. All PCs, except the re-installed one have access to the Internet. The failing one confirms it is linked to the network (sees the others), but, when attempting to go to IE, the program always responds saying "page not found, not connected etc...".
WHAT have I forgotten to set up?

Tried all advices. Nope!
Says: internet connected, but when address given, results "can't find server"
With IP address set, got "400 unknown error" (probably from the router).
Will attempt re-installing XP later. Maybe a faulty IE?

If it can see all the PCs inside the network but not get external (Internet) access, it's probably some security setting on the router.Start there.

Sounds like a seting in IE is missing, such as the default gateway for HTTP traffic. Go to Tools Internet Options and see if it is set up.
