I just reinstalled XP and I don't have internet
The instructions say to open command prompt and type ipconfig and get
my ip address. I then try to open IE and type google.com and I get page cannot be displayed. What next?

I ran the Internet setup and rebooted, but I still can't access the web.

If you lookup Google that way, it might have half a dozen or eight different addresses, which is a nuisance. Paul
