Rick I'm online again! I ran winsockxpfix, and that seems to have done the job. No idea what happened... Thanks for your good work! Toni
Inspiron E1405, Windows XP. I'm trying to connect through a Verizon Wifi modem, which works well with other pcs. Was not able to connect anymore, so I replaced the mini network card. The problem has not been solved though, I'm not able to go online with the old or new network card.  The icon in the quicklaunch bar, which always used to blink when I was connected, also does not blink anymore. When I right click on the icon and go to status, it shows that packets are sent , but none received. Does anyone have an answer to this?
Unable to go online
