Yes found a nice think pad laptop (in dumpster) Perfect shape very clean and the power cord
shows vista on label yet has XP service pac 3
has office 2007 and is a fast computer

here is the problem
wireless says it's connected
even hard wire as a test says same

yet the browser wont find INTERNET
it does not see browser
no fire wall working
I'v seen this before but this computer I'd like to correct
other computer are working .

I don't see any odd ball conflicting programs
it has no utilities working in background
the computer is very speedy runs clean



I could make a new profile and see if I can shake problem
or fresh install

I like this computer any advice?
504 ram
540 @ 1.86 ghz
intel celeron

Ms config startup does seem to be loaded with crap
particular to how bare bones it comes off

Malware ?
