I have windows XP and i'm having problems saying connected to the Internet. Any advice would be appreciated

I've already tried turning off my computer and resetting the modem. I just don't know what else to try. I have cable connection and my cable guy couldn't even figure it out. So any suggestions would be great. Thanks for your help.I have windows XP and i'm having problems saying connected to the Internet. Any advice would be appreciated
*Assuming* (note) that your cable connection is ok, it's possible that your PC isn't. Maybe your cable company should replace your modem.





Odds are that something on your machine is causing your problem. Start at the top of this list. Install the products one at a time. After you install each one, be sure to install all of their updates. Have each one complete a full scan before proceeding to the next one. One of these *should* fix your problem. Work down the list until your problem disappears. Keep in mind that everyone of these things is either free of charge or open source. The protection that you get from these is top notch. Furthermore, since I'm not recommending products that you have to buy (NONE of these will ever cost you a penny), you know that I'm not affiliated with the company or making money off recommending them, unlike some who post here. The biggest benefit to you is that this also means that the updates are free. Running the software without the updates is the same as not running it at all. (It is precisely this reason that I don't endorse AVAST or AVG. You AVAST and AVG users can boo and hiss all you like. If you're not paying them, you're not getting the most current definitions, which means you're not fully protected. I don't endorse McAfee or Norton/Symantec because it simply shouldn't be possible for your antivirus software to become infected by a virus. That sort of defeats the purpose of having it.)





Follow the directions in the document below and it will clean up most anything you've encountered. If not, drop me a line and I'll tell you what to do next.
