quite a bit

ran

| I will can not get explore to go to any sites, but I can ping. Is
there any

software then I
| now have installed. It seems like a new install would work and not
an
| upgrade. Also the strange thing is I am also running windows 2003
server on
| that computer and it works fine. Internet, explore and all.
|
| Please help.
