New Inspiron 6000, cannot access the web.

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
Hello, I just recieved a new Inspiron 6000 notebook yesterday. I cannot get on the internet, I just get a white screen in the web browser. It states connected if you look at the network connection, but according to Comcast (internet provider) the computer cannot recieve or send pings. I spent 2 hours on the phone with them and I believe they are not the problem. My wife's computer is able to connect without issue. I have also spent 2.5 hours on the phone with Dell uninstalling and reinstalling stuff, and they refer me back to comcast. The comcast rep states it is a software issue and I feel he is accurate. In addtion, when you click on the internet tools option from the browser, the window will not pop up?? I'm a novice when it comes to computers. Do any of you know what the problem might be and possible solutions?? I would be eternally greatful for any ideas. This has been the most dissapointing purchase of my life . Thank you

Are you connecting wirelessly or thru a wire? How is the connection established is it by a router or a modem that is capable of sharing multiple connections?

Have you installed any 3rd market internet related software?
How much trouble would it be to reformat and start fresh? (Its highly recommended)

Also try repairing said connection. Right click on it and then click repair.

Dell makes alot of money from the bloatware they install in systems, its the ultamate advertising tool ( excuse my spelling, i just did alot of cleaning with some bleach and cant think straight)

Wait.... you cleaned off the bloatware with bleach? A reformat is really all you needed to do. :P
