  • Hi vanny,

    I'll try to help but I'll need a bit more information:

    How does the PC connect to the internet? Dial-up modem, broadband through a modem or router or via a wireless connection to a router.

    Do you have any other computers in the house and are they able to connect to the net?

    Possibly a quick fix: if you have a router, unplug it's power for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in. Give it a few minutes to connect up and then try it out.
