Right click that icon and you may get some options regarding the controlled applications and, if so, then you should be able to either Allow or Block the applications when contacting the Internet.
Obviously, Internet Explorer should be "Allowed".
Do the icons on the desk top relating to any applications work OK? Such as your image editing program or Window Media player???
Incidentally, just add your reply to the bottom of this entry.

Sorry Wak, I have a desk top computer and a laptop computer both fed by a wireless router, the laptop is working o.k. but the desk top or tower is not responding to the internet, can I go into settings or something and unblock something, I am not a computer wiz kid so don't even know how to set my 'Settings' correctly
Presumably the laptop is the main comp as it is working OK.?
Click START, SETTINGS, CONTROL PANEL, NETWORK CONNECTIONS and see if there is a connection in there which has been disabled.
Try the above with both comps. there should be a connection or gateway from the main comp to the slave.
I used to have two comps connected together a long time ago but I'm a bit rusty on that side of it now.
See how you go with the above.

Thanks Wak I have done what you said, there doesn.t seem to be a connection at all.the service provider came out to check the connection as we have a satalite connection he said the connection is ok

Hi Gulliver, Just been rooting in a computer drawer and came across an "Ethernet to USB adaptor" and I remembered that this used to be plugged into a USB socket at the back of my Desk top comp and an Ethernet connector from the other (secondary) computer used to plug into this adaptor.
It was this USB/Ethernet LAN adaptor that needed to be accepted/allowed by the Firewall on both computers. However. I am with Virgin Media and a set-top box so your set-up will probably be different to mine.
Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

Hi Wak, Guess what I'm back on line, I borrowed a xp windows cd from a mate, and reinstalled windows then did what you said install wizard internet connection and hey presto, I thought I might have lost all my files but everything is in tact. Thanks a million for all your help we got there in the end.....
