I cannot get IE 8 to go to the wireless internet connection. It shows that
wifi connection is at good connection but IE gives me "page cannot be
displayed". I run diagnostics and it suggests there is a modem problem. I
have taken this in twice to the local  computer company and they haven't
fixed anything either time...in fact I think it is worse. Any ideas of what I
can check on my own?

The first thing to determine is if you are actually connected to your

ping google.com [press Enter]

the output should be something like this:

Does your ping result in no "Lost" packets?

After the "ping" command is complete, type the following:

ipconfig /all [press Enter]

copy and paste the results in your next post (to copy from the Command
Prompt window, right-click, select Edit > Select All, then press Enter).
