I picked up an old Dell windows XP laptop I'm trying to access the internet on. I installed drivers for both the wired and wireless hardware. Checking their status tells me they are both working properly. However, using internet Explorer neither will connect to the internet. I'm using the Cox supplied modem and a purchased wireless router I have been using for ages without issue using my iPad. Using the laptop gets me the message "server not found" on any URL I enter. I was on the verge of thinking I had bad hardware. But, I have a small data acquisition box also plugged into the router. When installed it was automatically assigned an address (192.1xx.x.xx). When I type that address into the internet Explorer address bar it communicates fine with both wired and wireless interfaces and I can access its functions and read data through its built in server. Haven't really used a windows machine in years. Maybe I'm missing something simple? IDK. Any advice appreciated.
