I have a Windows ME System that is on a network with 2 other computers. It connect to the Internet via a fast cable connection through a router. All thee system can see each other on the network and share recources. Two of the computer can get onthe Internet. One system is not able to connect the the Internet. All three systems are running ME. I have uninstall & reinstalled the network, Changed setting in TCP/IP DNS etc., dowloaded trouble shooting from MS - all no help. There is no firewall on the system other than the router. The problem started after a Palm Top was installed and uninstalled. Any help will be appreciated.

Can you ping your provider with that computer? Call thier help line about doing this. Have you checked the configeration of internet explorer. Look at the settings on the other two and compair them with the other. See if the connections tabs are thesame, with some providers you need the proxie and port settings. Did you try uninstalling the palm software?

Does your router give you the option of blocking certain computers from accessing the internet?

The router does offer the blocking feature, however, we do not have that feature setup.
Thanks for the imput.
