Unable to open a web page (active wifi) in Win XP

Hello,

I just re-entered an old PC and reinstalled XP (which I activated by phone), installed the driver for the wifi card, it recognizes my box and connects very well, excellent signal strength!
But it does not want to go on the internet, nor with Firefox (52 I think ...) or explorer. At first I even tried activation via the internet, but he couldn't find the connection. I know it's not great to go online with XP, but I would just like to dedicate this post to play (very old games on CD) and especially read my emails with Thunderbird.
I've been there since yesterday, if anyone has an idea?
Thank you in advance !

Hello,

Could you please check is time/date set correctly on your computer?
Because if it is not, webservers may refuse your connection.

Regards.

We replaced BIOS battery on the motherboard and set correct time/date.
Now everything fine.

Thanks!!!
