Horse with no Name

PC won't connect to internet [View all]

My desk top computer was working fine and then we had some internet issues. Now, it won't connect at all.

I didn't really have anything on it, so I reset to manufacturers specs and still having the same issue.

It is an ACER Aspire X3200 running Vista.
