if you have broadband. reset the router (unplug it, then plug it back in) and might want to try that with your computer off.

I have cable. I do not have a router, and, my modem was unplugged and replugged three times, because my ISP had to reset the modem because it can only recognize one connection at a time, so we had to switch it from my old pc to the dell, and this morning we switched it back from the dell onto my old now, so I was able to use the internet again.

What's windows update?

And yes, I was on the main account. I made two accounts, and I've been using the main one.

goto start, and All programs. at the top theres the windows update.

if it lets you download anything. theres a good chance it is something needed updating.

If not, make sure the account your using. is setup as a Admin account. or something close to it. make sure it doesnt have like parental controls on it.

Well, my other PC's internet is disconnected now, because my ISP had to transfer it, but I will go in and see about the admin account. I'm going to run the FFXI benchmark program on the Dell, if I get good results then I am just going to call the store from where I bought it from and see what they can do. Thanks though.
