Do you need IPX for something specific? I'd remove it if you don't.

Can you ping the default gateway? Can you ping your DNS servers?

We are gonna need a little more information.

Brand of laptop.
Is it plugged in to AC power?
Full Text of ipconfig /all
Operating system on the laptop.

The next question is can you ping the gateway at 192.168.1.1

if so can you get the the router settings at http://192.168.1.1 (web browser)

Your TCP stack could be corrupt

Linkage

I use this lots of times to fix problems matching what you describe

Download/Run

it will ask you to reboot, and voila your TCP/Winsock problems will be gone


And by the way, you dont have both a wireless and wired connection going to your router at the same time?

Snazzy,

The next thing you should try is setting the ip on the laptop to be similar to one of the known working PCs

so if you run ipconfig /all on one of them copy over everything except the IP address into the ip settings of the laptop and increment the Address one. Given that you have a link sys router and 2 other machines the address you are likely to want is 192.168.1.103

instructions here


Try that and then the gateway ping again.

still get same results on the ping 4 send and 4 recived = 0 % loss

Thats good, but can you ping out through your gateway

like

ping 194.125.133.10

and then does your DNS work

ping www.google.com

you should get ping 4 send and 4 recieved = 0 % loss

That means your internet (tcpip) is working as far as DNS/Routing etc goes

That rules out your router/your cable/ your network card etc

It could be just browser related now and the first thing to check is whether you have a proxy setting in your browser.


in IE its tool/ internet options/ connections / lan settings and make sure none are checked
or just automatically detect settings is ticked

in Firefox its Tools/ Options / General / Connection settings and
Direct Connection to the Internet should be selected.

If you get 0% loss on your pins and you dont have web its most likely either a proxy setting in the browser / a windows/norton/* firewall setting gone wrong.

quickset said my network card was active and running..

geuss its back to wireing

---

Its not your wiring, everything that you have told us so far leads us to believe your network is working and the problem lies with something on the os level.

Are you using any third party firewalls such as norton?
And are you against the idea of removing norton if you do have it installed ?

Gummi hates Norton

only windows firewall and NOD32..

on the laptop i dont really see any firewalls or antivirus exept windows firewall

---

Ok thats good, what actually happens now when say if you
go to www.google.com in your browser? Is it set 'online' and do you get any error messages in your browser?

Its really baffling that your network pings fine now but still your internet doesnt work.

Do you have eve installed on it? does it give you a connection to tq?

i found something about the "proxy"

in internet options and then in connections and then LAN options

then the Proxy server part is blanked so i cant change it but it have something written into it

use proxyserver for lan
addrese: 217.xx.xx.x port:80

and then the ticker to use proxy server for internet addreses is not ticked

EDIT: It trys to connect to that IP when i click the IE.exe

---

Ok well first take note of it before you change it, and then enable proxy (tick the box) to allow you to change, remove all that info, and then disable the proxy again (no ticks in any boxes)

If it still tries to connect to the proxy then it could be that you have another proxy program running somewhere but we wont know until you try that.

I would try two things. The windows XP firewall should allow all traffic that is a response to a request back in, thus that should not be a problem here.


In the command prompt enter: nslookup google.com

This should give you a few IP addresses. Ping the first on in the list for google.com
If you get no items you need to check DNS servers to your IP connection.

If you cannot nslookup google, you want to try to ping it any way. google runs at 64.233.167.99 for my part of the world try pinging that.

If you can ping the above address, you actually do have a connection to the web, but you do not have the ability to match domain names to IP addresses. This means you need to add some DNS Servers into your configuration. I would ping both of the servers you added earlier, this ensures that you can in fact connect to the servers and receive data back.

Since you can see the router admin page, you should also check to make sure that the router can see the outside world and that it has not blocked your ip/mac from acessing the outside world

Sounds like something might be blocking ports. What is the model of your Router?

Something else you can try:

telnet www.google.com 80

This will tell us if you can connect to a computer over port 80 (HTTP). If you get something along the lines of "Connection Successful" we are in good shape so far. Just close the window when you are done.

---

Originally by: Wilhelm Beck

The fact that you can ping google.com means you actually have a connection to the outside.
Hooray!

Since you still cannot connect to google or eve something else is blocking your connection attempts.

I would also get rid of the proxy as well. Set the configuration to happen automatically in IE (tools-> internet options -> connections -> Lan settings)

The second suspect here is the windows firewall. Try disabling it briefly and seeing if you can get to the outside with it off. If it works with the firewall off you need to go in and configure the beast.

---

Originally by: Valeo Galaem

If disabling the Windows firewall does not work, go to another computer on your LAN and connect to the router's settings web page. Look for anything that can configure port blocking. For some reason, your router might have been configured to block any HTTP connections from that computer.

---

Originally by: Wilhelm Beck

prior to connecting directly to the modem, did you set your configuration back to auto configure?

You may also need to install PPPoE to get that connection to work depending on how your modem works.

Depending on how comfortable you are with editing your router configuration, I would recommend going through and checking for blocks and removing any of them you find or flashing it back to default. Make sure that if you reset you go back in and reconfigure it, as well as change the admin password.
