Internet Connection Problems...?

[Ray L]

I have an internet connection problem on my Windows Vista. It has something to do with firewall or internet security ( that's all I know ).

The problem is, the computer says that the internet is connected, but when I go on Internet Explorer, it says that it can't display page. I diagnose problem, and it says something about:

SymNetDrv Firewall Filter INBOUND_TRANSPORT_V4

and now, after I tampered with somethings, it says I am working offline even after I uncheck the offline thing. What do I do to fix this?

Try closing your firewall and internet security. If you can go into explorer, then try to narrow down the programme and don't use it. You can also try configuring your firewall although I don't use Norton Firewall so I cannot off any help on that.

Alternatively if it is not a problem with your firewall or internet security, then try going to tools>internet options>connections>lan settings. Enter your IP address and press OK. IP adress can be found out by right clicking your LAN or wireless setting/

Please tell us if your using ethernet or usb modem. If your using anything other than ethernet you will have problems.
