Hello,

I got an Acer aspire 1 laptop second hand from an old friend, its running on windows xp, it says its connected to the internet through WiFi and earth net but every time I open explorer it says no connection, I don't know much about computers and laptops so if anyone could help ittbwould be gladly appreciated, the laptop say its probably caused by firewall setting on the computer, I'm not sure what that means
Any help would be appreciated thanks

Restart the computer and try to log in and browse the Internet.
