Internet works in Linux but not in Windows

Expand Post »
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.

Re: Internet works in Linux but not in Windows

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
