Post by: mcgrath7418 on February 06, 2005, 14:18

I recently upgraded my xp home edition to xp pro.There was a problem installing the upgrade and microsoft and to talk me through a clean installation of the software.
  Now that I have xp pro installed,I can't seem to connect to my ISP tiscali,even though I have set up the internet connection.Any suggestions as to what might be wrong.

Hi mcgrath and :welcome:

Its possibly your firewall, try disabling it temporarily to see if you can connect. If you can then its simply a case of configuring it to allow you to connect.
Are you on dial up or BB, cable or Adsl, using an internal or external modem or router or a USB device  ???
