My modem connects but I cannot browse the Internet – Windows XP

If you can connect to Bell Internet but are unable to browse the web, your computer's TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) may have become corrupt. The Internet connection icon will appear in your taskbar if you’re connected to Bell Internet.

Here’s how to restore your TCP/IP in Windows XP:

  1. Click Start and then Run.
  2. In the Open text box, type and then click OK.

A blank window will appear for a few seconds while TCP/IP is reset. Once it disappears, try to browse the web again.

If you continue to experience problems, please contact us for further assistance.
