I have tried everything in the book, Disabling my firewall, Making sure my proxy box is un-checked,
and doing virus scans. Can someone help me? I have spent hours trying to fix this thing.

Manually set your DNS addresses to those provided by Google and see if that helps (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4).

COLGeek :

Already tried that.

Does any system connect properly to the 'Net? Also, what are the specs for this system? Are you using a wired or wireless connection to your router?

COLGeek :

All my systems connect properly except that laptop. The laptop Is currently on a wireless network but refused to work when on a wired connection. The system has 1GB DDR2 memory, And a Intel Celeron M 420 Cpu clocked @ 1.6 GHz. The web browser will connect to some websites but most give me a error message.

Have you scanned for malware/viruses on the system in question? Also, what browser are you using?

Stevegoldmine · Jul 30, 2016

COLGeek :

I scanned for any viruses/malware and removed them. And for my browser, Internet explorer 7. This computer was put away for this problem and just now I am trying to revive it. I have reset Internet explorer to factory defaults.

IE7 is not allowed on many websites as it is ANCIENT (in computing ages). Try installing Firefox or Chrome and see if the problem just goes away.

COLGeek :

Installed firefox and got a constant error that read: "Secure Connection Failed."

Check that the date/time (including timezone) is set correctly. Secure connections rely upon time to ensure connections are "current" and this can cause issues with connections.

You are accessing the 'Net, because you were able to download FF (I assume from the problem system).

COLGeek :

Thanks! Who knew a simple date could affect your computer like mine. I guess when it was in storage it's internal battery died.

You are very welcome. Have fun!
