My computer can't find the Internet.
• Check the IP address in network settings on another computer
in the network.
The IP address is available in the Broadband Network Utility.
If your computer can't find the Internet, it may be looking for the
wrong IP address. Although the IP address may have been
correct previously, if you changed ISPs, then all of the IP
addresses in your network changed as well. See the
documentation that you received from your ISP for the correct IP
address.
• If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer, verify that the
Internet Explorer proxy setting is turned off.
For more information about the Internet Explorer proxy setting,
see Internet Explorer Help.

the Internet in the Broadband Network Utility.
If you are still unable to resolve the problem, see Broadband
Network Utility Help.
