Ok try start->run. type in "cmd", then type ipconfig. One of the items will be "default gateway". The ip will most likely be 192.168.1.1. Whatever it is, then type "ping x.x.x.x" using the IP of the default gateway. Copy the output into this window. Also, open up a web browser and go to https://x.x.x.x and see if a page loads. If not, try it also on http://x.x.x.x

Thank you Mike, but I did everything you asked me to do and nothing worked. I made a new partition and installed Win XP on it and everything is working fine. Some day I will go back and try to figure out what the problem was. I still have pages of things I tried, so I will go back over them when I try to figure it out. We can now close this session.
