network card all dressed up with no place to go

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

Is your connection to internet working (i.e. can other programs connect to
internet)?

One way for checking it is to open start->run, write cmd.exe (or command.exe
if you're using ME/9x) and press OK. A "black-screen" will popup. Write
"ping www.google.com" (without "" ) and press enter. Are you getting
"response from *someip*" or an error message (timeout)?

If that works, then your proxy server might be wrongly set in Internet
Explorer.
