Hey folks, I'm running a small LAN in my home controlled by an SMC 4 port wireless router. I have my wife's ibook, by B&W, and an IBM Netvista P4 running XP Pro (SP2). Just today when I tried to use IE on the IBM, the home page didn't load and I got the error page instead. My homepage is Google so I thought that it not loading was kinda weird. I then checked the control panel for the network connection. It showed that I there was a connection. I went on my B&W and I was able to access the IBM over the LAN and transfer files to it.
The ibook and B&W were able to fully use the internet i.e. Surf, chat, download, e-mail, etc. The IBM keeps saying that it has a connection but trying to use e-mail or IE keeps giving me error messages that it can't find a server. I thought that the last update on XP might have done something so I erased the IBM and re-installed XP. Again, I couldn't connect onto the internet. Is it possible that the built-in ethernet port has gone crazy? Is it possible for the IBM to communicate to the computers on the LAN but lose internet access?
