Need more info. If you ping say, www.monster.com, does it return an address? Or is it unable to resolve the address. Could be a DNS issue. Could be a router config issue. Could be your laptops firewall, etc etc. Give us some more detail.
 
i jsut did some more stuff on it and every time i try to ping it won't even it just gives me an error message, i tried turning the windows firewall on and it won't start it says

"windows cannot start the windows firewall/internet connection sharing (ICS) service"

this has to be the problem but i do not know how to resolve it

frustrated :confused:
 
You definitely dont want the ICS to be running, so dont worry about that error.

When you say you get an error when you try to ping, can you tell us exactly what the message is? I mean exactly, word for word.
 
command prompt - ping www.google.com
the NTVDM CPU had encountered an illegal instruction.

spyware? You have some deeper problems then just connecting to the internet if the command prompt is abending using ping.


 
I found this on google groups

I would first try expanding those files from the \i386 folder on the 
windows cd onto the ones you have in your \system32 folder it will 
replace them with the original ones. This way is probably a lot easier 
than deleting and restarting and such. 

open up a command prompt (start-->run-->"cmd"-->enter) 
then enter the command as follows where D:\ is the drive letter of your 
cd drive. 

Code: 
-------------------- 
  expand D:\i386\ntvdm.ex_ C:\windows\system32\ntvdm.exe 
-------------------- 

Do that for the other file too. 

If you ever have this sort of thing happen to you while trying to use 
ping, go into the system32 folder and delete ping.com
