PC Can Browse Intranet NOT Internet

by fighting monk . Updated 24 years, 6 months ago

I’ve worked on a couple of PCs which are able to connect to our Universities network (as well as browse it normally) but have been unable to connect to the internet.

Here is what I’ve done-

re-installed network cards and swapped in known functional cards

re-installed internet explorer (our browser of choice) and installed netscape

used both hardware and software checkers to make sure the system buses and controllers, as well as the OS are operating correctly.

One machine is a reasonable new HP laptop running ME, the other an older desktop running W95. It seems like their is some obvious software problem/switch that I am simply missing . . . any suggestions!?!

By the way, our network uses TCP/IP for it’s communication protocal (it’s a W2000 network).
