as you said: her setup is okay > explorer all refuse to cooperate for minutes on > end. after quitting/relaunching or stopping/reloading > a webpage finally comes up and then all is well. 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 alberto ps. what microwave technology are you using to access the internet?
