I'm not sure what could be causing such a strange problem! what software do you use to burn the software I think maybe the software might mess with some settings causing the internet not to work? Try using different software for burning.

You say "it will not connect" are you on broadband or dialup? Do you get any error messages at all?
 
thanks for reply guys,i am using a dialup service to get onto aol,i have tried using different software for burning,but as soon as i use the dvd drive to burn i cannot connect again.
i have also scanned for adware etc.... and found nothing so i guess its not that causing the problem.
i do get a error message that says unable to connect at step 4 which is getting networks attention,apart from that i am stumped :confused:
cheers micky
 
strange, have you tried recreating the account to see if it works, I don't see how its not letting the internet work.
