ok. i have to deal with this everyday... on the internet preferences you
have to tell windows to get on the internet via a LAN (maybe you did so
already, don't worry). even then, windows won't understand it, maybe it is
trying to connect via a DIP? if you have any DIP connections defined, erase
them. if you need them, then re-create them with different names.
just a guess, but maybe at some point you configured that machine to connect
to the internet via DIP, now windows won't understand you want to change
that. anyway, in the multiple cases customers call to tell us "your internet
won't work" this fixes the problem (and makes me waste around 15 mins of my
time).
hope that helps

ps. what microwave technology are you using to access the internet?
