Troubleshooting Internet Explorer is unable to access the Internet ■ Reset the power on your cable or DSL modem and your access point. This reestablishes communication between your Internet Service Provider and your modem and between your modem and your access point. ■ If you previously accessed the Internet through a dial-up modem, Internet Explorer may not be set up to access the Internet through a network. Remove the dial-up connection in the Internet Options in Internet Explorer. Caution If your notebook was a member of a domain before you join a workgroup, it is disjoined from the domain and your computer account disabled. Contact your company computer department or network administrator for more information. You cannot see other computers on your network ■ Your notebook may not have the same workgroup name as the other computers on your network. For more information, see "Naming your computers and workgroup" in the online User Guide. ■ If your notebook was previously connected directly to your cable or DSL modem, and your ISP requires you to use a static IP address, your notebook is not set up to use a DHCP server. Modify the network properties so your notebook is set up for using a DHCP server. You cannot connect to your network ■ If your notebook is a member of a domain at your workplace, you may not be able to connect your notebook to your home network workgroup to access shared files or printers on your home network. You may, however, be able to access the Internet through your home network. 109
