    Hi,

    Iam running W-XP, Home SP3 and go on Internet using Wi-Fi, that never failed me. I can connect to net with Opera, but not with other kind of eplorers. IE shows me nothing, Chrome either but some net::ERR_FAILED error. What c'n I do?

    P.S.: I've cleaned all cookies, temporary files etc... and scanned for all kind of viruses.
