Dell Dimension 2400- Not Connecting to Internet
I am having an issue with my dimension 2400, it no longers connects to the internet. The computer recognizes an internet connection, but i can not view any websites.
Can someone please help me, walk me through the process? Ive ran the diagnostic connection wizard, but always refer me to the ISP, which their is no problem with my ISP.
Thanks,
Chad

Ethernet ports rarely go bad. The blinking is normal.
It is most likely some setting/software that has changed on your PC.
Did you install knowingly or unknowlingly any Windows Updates recently?

Only thing i can remember is when i installed my netgear wireless usb adapter. My internet was working fine with the adapter connected, but later stopped working. Should i uninstall the netgear software?

Before uninstalling the Netgear software, see if your Ethernet connection is disabled in Windows.

No its not disabled, it is showing connected. I have everything set to "detect automatically" etc. I even bought another network adapter and installed it into the PCI slot and its saying "limited or no connectivity" i installed all the appropriate drivers and everything, there is definitely a problem with our computer!
