I installed my drivers. and i can surf the net for like 5 mins or so then when i go to a new page i will get "the page cannot be displayed". i uninstalled my norton antivirus no change. I also called my isp Verizon dsl they pinged to see if I am gettin connection and I am I am also able to connect to aim but pages arent comming up did something go wrong when i updated to sp2. Everytime this happens to me i have to restart my laptop. and then it reconnects for a shorttime.

    Repair the connection
    Disable your security
    Disable Windows XP Firewall
    Try uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers

    Its not your 8600. It is your Wireless Card, Router, or Modem. How are you connnected. Wireless? You never stated that.

    i would agree. i had the same problem for a while and i ran the winsockfix and that helped. if it is a wireless card, try using the dell wireless utility if you havent done so already. if you have and that doesnt work, try the windows utility. also, are you using the drivers from the disks that came with it or are you using the drivers from teh dell website? i would try to get a hold of the newer drivers.
