I seriously need help. I know nothing about the way computer work or anything. Ever since my friend used my computer last week I have not been able to get on the internet. The little "D" at the bottom of my screen is Green and it looks like it's working but it isn't. When I try to get on-line I get messages that say: No connection to the internet is available and Can't find server. Please help but remember I am not computer smart.

Hi,
Two things you can try before trying your browser/Internet connection:
1. Right click on the Wireless Network Connection Icon, click on Repair. Allow the computer time to repair its WiFi connection and some other settings;
2. Right click on the Wireless Network Connection Icon, click on Status. Click on properties button, select TCP/IP (Internet Protocol), click on Properties button, verify that the option "Obtain IP address automatically is ticked, OK, OK.
3. In your browsers, verify/modify settings:
In Mozilla, click on Tools, Options, Advanced tab, Network tab, Settings button, tick "Auto-detect proxy settings for this connection, OK, OK;
In IE, Tools, Internet Options, Connections tab, LAN settings button, check "Automatically detect settings" (& pls make sure there is no check mark on the Proxy server), OK, Advance tab, check Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy connections.
In Opera, Tools, Preferences, Advanced tab, Network, Proxy server buttons, check "Enable HTTP 1.1 for proxy, OK, OK.
Pls post back how things turned out or should you need additional information. Hope that this be of some help/idea.
Good luck and kind regards.
