Stupid internet isnt workin!

[sportingsmissus]

So am posting from my phone. The wireless network is connected but wont show any of the web sites i try to view or let me sign into msn. I have tried everything i can think of to fix it but no luck. Have done the repair connection, restarted the comp, looked at other things on the pc but stuck. :bang: So just really lookin for some help?

Is it a new wireless network, or an old one.

Try starting 'wireless zero configuration' from within services [Control Panel, Performance & Maintenance, admin tools].

What IP are you being given from the router?

 

[sportingsmissus]

I dont have that option in admin tools. Our ip is blueyonder. The network is probably about twelve months old, maybe.

Really? There will be a services option, believe me

Blueyonder is your ISP, not IP.

Open up a command prompt - Start-->Run-->cmd - then type ipconfig - let me know the results, sounds as if the machine isn't being allocated a proper IP address.

have you tried rebooting the wireless router?

 

[Stu DemonD]

He he, never thought of that one :chin:

another option is, at the command prompt, type:

"ipconfig /release" without the quotation marks then press enter.

then type:

"ipconfig /renew" without the quotation marks then press enter.
