Please can anybody assist in helping me get this issue fixed ?
I've a genuine copy of XP
Service Pack 3
Complete fresh install.
Can see 8.8.8.8 in CMD Prompt
Have tried various Reg edits etc. But to no avail.
I can access my router directly with Ethernet cable to see its ip settings but unable to get online.

My router works with every other device in the home Pc, MacBook, satellite receiver, 2 iPhones & Apple TV so I suddenly thought that as I've not used my laptop for a few months then maybe the reason why the internet isn't working on it was due to any possible missing updates.
Having search the web I found a newer LAN driver than was in my laptop, downloaded it onto a stick then onto my laptop.
Perfect
Internet now up and running
Thanks for all your help, bit of lateral thinking and I worked the issue out for myself.

A whitelist is a list of systems ALLOWED to do something, like access the internet. A blacklist is a list of systems, NOT ALLOWED to so something.

Do you have any access restrictions set up on your router?

Also, are you using a fixed IP or DHCP?
