Cannot Find Server
My common ISP claims my other PC has net connection. Email and Net settings are the same. Click for Net and I get message, Server cannot be found. Ideas?

This happened to me last year, I was demented... it was nowt to do with me but a fault at the provider's side...they cured the problem remotely after much kicking and screaming from me....

There is probably an IP address conflict somewhere in your home network.
Turn everything right off - router/PCs/printer and any other connected devices such as TV or powerline adaptors.
Count ten (slowly) and then turn things on in the order :
Router
(then wait until all lights are showing for an internet connection)
The 'good' PC
(then wait until you have a working internet connection)
The 'bad' PC
(then wait until you have a working internet connection)
then everything else .. one at a time, checking all internet connections after each piece of kit.
