I just finished installing Windows 2003 64-bit. I cannot get to the
internet by using Internet Explorer. It said "Page cannot be displayed" I
have tried various web sites. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks.
 
Re: Problem of Getting On To the Internet

Which is your motherboard - CPU - Chipset, please?

(If you don't know - which brand and model is the machine?)

Re: Problem of Getting On To the Internet

The reason Tony was asking, is that there are known problems with Nvidia
based motherboards. I know what I'm about to say is silly, but if you have
an nvidia chipset mobo, just trust me and do it.

Known problem:
Unfortunately, the built in nVidia firewall product appears to install at
least some portion of itself even if you've never chosen to install it. And
this appears to interfere with 32-bit programs. The solution is to install
the firewall program if it isn't already installed, and then uninstall it.

Thanks both of you for the information. It is a Dell PowerEdge 2850.

First thing to see is if your netcard is actually installed...
If not, you will then need to install the *64bit* drivers for it.

Note: not all net cards have 64bit drivers...but check the mfg's website

Also: If the machine has an "on-board" device...the drivers would be on the
CD that came with your motherboard
 
Re: Problem of Getting On To the Internet

O.K. - this is Intel (not nVidia), like Philo says you need to check that
your machine was delivered with net-cards or if it is on the motherboard -
that networking is enabled in the BIOS. In addition, if you need to install
drivers, they must be 64bit - don't trust the system CD - you may have to
download them separately from Dell/ Intel?

Re: Problem of Getting On To the Internet

Thanks Charlie and Philo for your suggestions. I will try Dell's web site
and let you know the status.

Ok...please post back and let use know what happened
 
RE: Problem of Getting On To the Internet

Diane,
How do you connect to the Internet?
Dial-up modem (external or internal), ADSL modem (USB or Ethernet), etc.?
Could you connect to the Internet with your prior installation before
Windows 2003 64-bit?
Have you configured your Internet connection?

Re: Problem of Getting On To the Internet

Thanks for your response. I connect to the internet by Ethernet. I was
able to connect to the internet through Windows 2000 Advanced Server.

I have not downloaded the 64-bit drivers. We had a major power problem. I
will work on this problem tomorrow and let you know the status. Thanks
again.

Re: Problem of Getting On To the Internet

I installed the 64-bit driver for the network card. I downloaded the driver
from Dell website. Still, I could not get on the internet. I checked all
the drivers in Device Manager and everything looks normal. I do not get any
Exclamation Points or Question Marks. Will there be any problems with
Windows 2003 64-bit with the internal IP address of 192.168.1.10?

Thanks.
