•If the computers are configured correctly, but still not working, check the Gateway. Ensure that it is connected and powered on. Connect to it and check its settings. (If you cannot connect to it, check the LAN and power connections.)

•If the Gateway is configured correctly, check your Internet connection (DSL/cable modem, etc.) to see if it is working correctly. You can remove the Gateway to verify a direct connection.

•Manually configure the TCP/IP settings with a DNS address provided by your ISP.

•Make sure that your browser is set to connect directly and that any dial-up is disabled. For Internet Explorer, click Tools, Internet Options, and then the Connection tab. Make sure that Internet Explorer is set to Never dial a connection. For Netscape Navigator, click Edit, Preferences, Advanced, and Proxy.

1.Click File. Make sure Work Offline is NOT checked.

2.Press CTRL + F5. This is a hard refresh, which will force Windows Explorer to load new webpages, not cached ones.
