Upgraded to XP from 98, Unable to Browse Internet

The first question I always ask is if you can ping the web sites. if not,
check the DNS settings first, or post ipconfig /all here.
or you can go to http://www.ChicagoTech.net do-it-yourself tools to do the
troubleshooting.

Hello,

I've upgraded my home PC from Windows 98 to XP Home Edition. Since doing
so, I've been unable to browse the Internet. I've contacted by ISP (SBC
Yahoo DSL) and they help me set up a new connection. When I activate the
connection, I can connect OK, but when I try to surf the Net, I get error
that Internet Explorer is unable to load or display the page. Anybody
else have trouble with DSL connection after upgrading to XP?

Thank you.

Thanks for the ideas. I broke down and called MS last night. They were very helpful and fixed the problem: Zone Alarm was installed on my set. Once I removed Zone Alarm, my Internet connection worked.
