    This is the first time I've ever had to come into Linux to report a problem with Windows, but I guess its not as brain-dead-user friendly as I thought, although I suppose that with windows 2000, youre probably expected to know something.

    Anyway, I dont seem to be able to view any websites using windows, and yet they seem to be working fine from linux, I'm connected to the internet through a network, and there is no proxy server. This leaves me a bit stumped as I always thought that would be the main problem with connecting to the internet.

    If anyone has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated, I want to start downloading drivers and what not.

    About all I can suggest is that you make sure IE knows you're connecting through a LAN (I'm assuming), and that you have all of your IP's right (gateway, Subnet mask, etc etc).

    Have you any more info?

    Restore all defaults in internet explorer options, move the security slider down to medium.
