In the Windows Control Panel, go to Network Connections. Open 'Local
Area Connection' and select 'properties'.

Doubleclick on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

Select 'Use the following DNS servers'. Put 4.2.2.2 in the primary
address window. Leave the alternate blank. Close all the Windows. Try

Thank you!!!! I have been having problems with this for over a year and
could never figure out how to fix it. Sometimes my internet would work
in Virtual PC, but usually it wouldn't. I've had people look at it many
times. Today, I did what you just said and it came right up! Thank
goodness for the internet to share information like this! You've made
my day! Happy holidays! ~Suzanne

Unbelievable!

It's great, thank you very much, it works also for me!

How come? Why 4.2.2.2? What's that address?
