I recently repaired one of my old office (I think it's a Dell) desktop computers (the only one able to be salvaged from Hurricane Sandy). The computer is running XP Pro, SP3.
When I open a browser window (either Explorer or Chrome) the home page (in this case Google) opens without a problem. I'm able to enter a simple search parameter (for example, my name). A new tab opens with a set of choices but I cannot navigate beyond that, for any search parameters.
Icons at the lower right hand corner tell me that I'm connected to the network and also that I'm connected to the internet. There is back and forth activity being logged. I've pinged www.google.com successfully. FTP port is set at 21, HTTP=80, HTTPS=443. The OS is a recent (yesterday) re-installation.
