I have a Dell Inspirion that is running XP. I haven't used it for a 6 months and now when I try to access the internet I cannot connect. My wireless is working fine with a strong signal.

What should I try to correct?

Thanks

That you are getting a vaild IP address, from the command line (cmd) type ipconfig /all see if you have an IP address, could also be down to a DNS problem.

Silly!!!???
It seems you ran the "ipconfig / all" from the Run Menu.
"Wizard-09" clearly mentions that you have to run "cmd" command in Run Menu. When the Command Window opens run the "ipconfig / all" from there.
