Cleaned out computer, but no internet....

Hello, i father grabed me a computer at his office and soe guy cleaned everything out for me. I get it, very fast since its cleaned out, BUT when i put the moden in it doesn't seem to register it really. It says i can not go online, its not just explorer becuase i tried like those cheesy online games and they dont work. Also it will say i am connected, just it wont put the conection into effect. I am sorry if i am making no sense lol.

I have shut down the firewall just incase, but nothing.


Computer name:

Dell Deminsions
L600r

Has Microsoft XP


Any suggestions???

Thank you.

what do you mean put the modem in

like i just simply connect it to the internet. i plug my moden directly into my computer, thats all.

hmm are you positive you are using an ethernet cord? like this one

my bad that picture was quite big

YEah man, everything works on my other desktop computer, its not the cord or the internet its the computer.

Bump...Sorry if you guys just dont know.....just can't use that dang computer, its useless so far
