Well I been working on a client's computer and apparently they use Dial Up and so I been trying to connect to my network here, which is high speed and the problem is, it wont connect!

I checked everything, for some reason it just wont work and I have no idea why, I gave up. So I been wondering if anyone here knows why.

Now, I can browse to my file server but I just can't seem to get the machine online.

It says its connected but only to my network, it can't see the WWW.

So if anyone has any ideas. since I rather not reinstall his OS, cause he tons of programs that he uses... But its been dead for months and I brought the system back to life a couple days ago.

So please Help!! ahhhh.....

Check the gateway address and DNS server addresses. Try to ping a known pingable IP to test if you can resolve properly.

I checked all of that. All of it is fine. I can ping my computers, but not google.

Static IP or DHCP?

Did you try pinging IP addresses instead of domain names? Consider two things: you have to resolve an address for ping to work and not all addresses will respond to pings. Pinging Google might fail because you can't resolve the address or you resolve an address that ignores ICMP (I think Google does have some servers that ignore).

Its DHCP right now, I even tried static... But I did remember that I had to replace all the .sys files in the Drivers folder in system32. So I think that messed up the network driver, Maybe I should try to reinstall the network driver?

Reinstalling is an idea to try. A broken stack is usually fully working or fully broken. But I supposed yours could be "damaged."
