I am trying to connect to the internet thru a friends xps desktop. I have internet connection, says strength is good and connected but it when I bring up explorer it says cannot display. I tried hardwire with same results. I am using cpmact usb wirless adapter and its working fine according to device manager. Only thing I can think of is the Dell installed usb 2.0 wirless lan card utility getting in the way.
any steps I should take now to try and figure this out?
messed with settings and still cannot get it to connect. Not sure what the issue is. The computer reads the connection yet i still cannot connect to the internet.

ok sorry I missed that ping but its 4 received 0 loss 80 ttl48 is what most are.
The DNS is assigned by the router, AFAIK, my PC right now has it using the same thing. I dunno why its not letting me on really, something is blocking it it seems. Internet is connected in all things I can see, I just can't access the net for some reason.
You're accessing this site so you should be able to access that. You have to register, but all you need is the DNS servers to assign to your wireless connection. Or you can select from these Public DNS Servers.
I am accessing this site with my own computer. The xps is sitting right next to this one. Could there not just be a simple config in explorer or disabling something to make it work? Like I said it picks up internet just won't load any internet sites.
Since you have internet access but DNS is not working I think that the next logical step is to try different DNS servers. If that still does not resolve the problem the only other idea I have is possibly "DNS hijack" malware. Since it can be days before a malware expert gets to your thread but you can assign DNS servers in a couple minutes I still like my order of doing things.
