> which are linked - well kind of anyway

Not nearly enough information...

Can PC1 connect to the Internet at all...?

[kopend]

yes

pc1 connects to the internet fine

pc1 use opera as its search enginge

and that feeds pc 2

if pc 1 is not on internet pc2 can

pc2 uses internet explorer

> pc1 use opera as its search enginge

Opera is a web browser, not a search engine...


> and that feeds pc 2

Specifically...?


What happens if you type the Java download URL directly into PC1's web browser? Do you get to the Java website...?

[kopend]

yes



i thank it even downloads it

but when you go to try and use it
