Internet works in Linux but not in Windows

Apr 19th, 2008

Hello all!

This is a weird problem I'm facing. I'm running Mint/XP/Ubuntu triple boot. Booted into Windows after like 2 weeks, and now I cannot access the internet from windows.

It Works just fine in Linux, so definitely no problem on my ISP's side. Maybe I need to reconfigure something in Windows network connections, but don't know what. (or perhaps is time to bash windows again ?

)

Any help will be appreciated, thanks for your time!

EDIT: Oh, and definitely no viruses in there, for sure.

All suspects are guilty until proven innocent, other wise, they wouldn't be suspects would they?

Are you using a dhcp to assign ip's to your ethernet card? What is your isp? Also if you are using pppoe make sure that your username and password are correct

There are 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

All generalizations are wrong. Even this one.
