"Finally, if you can ping between the computers, but can't access the Internet, check to see if you can browse to URL in Internet Explorer. If you can, but can't access the site using its domain name, then there is a DNS problem which we can solve."


Thanks

Sorry, my sticky should really include the solution to this problem. I'll edit it in a minute.

What you need to do is go to your ISPs website and find the IP addresses of their two DNS servers. When you've done this, open up Network Connections from the Control Panel and right-click the network connection. Select Properties and double-click Internet Protocol TCP/IP. At the bottom of the new window, you should see a place where you can enter in the IP addresses of the DNS servers.

This is the process for XP/2000. If you're using 98 or Me, you should find a Network applet in the Control Panel, from where you should be able to find pretty much the same settings.
