Internet Connection :: Can't Connect Immediately

Oct 6, 2008

When trying to connect to the internet I have to go through a series of operations, viz, start, connect to, dial, close and then finally load net. Sometimes however, as soon as I log on, a small window appears and I can connect immediately to the net via this. Is there any way that I can adjust my system to use this small window each time I want to connect?

After getting on to the net, as I try to go from one site to another, the small window appears and I have to reconnect to the internet. This has only started recently.

Second Computer (which Uses XP) To Be Able To Connect To My Internet Connection

Mar 23, 2008

I want a second computer (which uses XP) to be able to connect to my internet connection. It CAN connect to the wireless network, but cannot see the internet. I have a Netgear wireless Router, and a security enabled wireless network. The other PC can connect to the wireless network with good strength, but cannot see the internet. In Vista's Network Sharing Centrethere is a properties box which deals with Internet Connection Sharing. But when I try to tick the 'Allow other users to connect through this computer's internet connection' box and click OK, I get a messagebox come upo telling me that 'An error occured while internet connection was being enabled'. Should I be trying to enable this? Am I doing this in the right place? if so what else do I need to do to enable the internet on the other machine?

From that point I have tried to connect to the internet with a netgear wireless router WGR614 v6. I can establish a wireless connection, but I am unable to connect to IE. When trying to do so, I get internet explorer cannont display web page.

When I try diagnose connections I get the host may be down and windows found a problem that cannot be repaired automatically.

I have done an ipconfig reset and a dns flush. I disabled my windows firewall and still have no luck.

Internet Connection Can't Connect To Sites

Apr 3, 2009

I'm having trouble with my internet connection on my Sony Vaio laptop. I've had this laptop for over a year now and I've been connected to the internet wirelessly through a router without any problems until last night...All of a sudden IE wouldn't connect to any sites but firefox and my messenger still worked. Then about an hour later my firefox stopped working so i decided to restart my laptop. Before it shut down to restart I got a Blue Screen and then it restarted. Now it's saying im connected to the network but Local Only and I can't connect to any sites. I'm currently on another PC in the house and the Internet works fine. Also I tried plugging an ethernet cord in the laptop and it still doesn't work.

Can't Get Windows Mail To Connect Through My Internet Connection

May 4, 2009

I have a few issues with Windows Mail (Vista) connections. If I'm already connected to the Internet through my ISP software Windows Mail will connect to my mail servers with no problem but if I'm not already connected it will not connect. Internet Explorer and many other programs (even several of my freeware programs) will connect to the Internet using my ISP connection when my PC is not already connected to the internet. I've tried but can't get Windows Mail to connect through my Internet connection.

I ended-up having to setup a Dial-up connection to connect Windows Mail when I'm not already connected to the Internet. It has to be set as the default connection to work but this causes other problems. For the most part it works fine but the Dial-up connection can't turn on my SpeedBand (Turbo mode) because that's embedded in my ISP software. Also, some programs use the Dial-up connection while others use the Internet connection(?)................

Ethernet Connection: Connect The Two Computers Together?

Mar 23, 2008

I have Vista Ultimate 64-bit on a new computer, and Windows 2000/pro on a much older (8 years?) computer. I have no difficulty transferring files from one to the other using flash memory units. Both systems are running fine. I was told, by a not always reliable person, that I can simply plug either a regular ethernet cable, or a crossover ethernet cable, into each computer and each will immediately recognize the other, and each will show up on the other's Window Explorer windows. Then, I'm told, I could drag and drop files from one computer to the other with a click of a
mouse on either computer.

So, I tried it. Purchased a new crossover ethernet cable, plugged it in, and no visible response. No sparks, no smoke - nothing. Directory trees did not change on either computer's screen. The person who told me this would work doesn't "have time to check into it right now."

My questions:

1. Is it likely that I caused any damage to either computer? Both continue to work as well as they ever did, so I don't think so.

2. Is it possible to connect the two computers together, via such an ethernet cable, and have them behave as I had been told?

Network Connection: Occasionally Not Connect

Mar 23, 2008

I got a new computer which I successfully connected to my home network. However, occasionally it does not connect. If I restart the computer and reset the router it works fine, but in a few days it crops up again. The technique I am using at the moment works fine, but gets a bit wearing. Is there a solution to this short of hibernating the computer instead of shutting it down.

Connect Router: Local Only Connection

Sep 9, 2009

I recently bought a new Linksys router ultra range plus. it can broadcast on n, g and b bands. My laptop has a "g" adapter. but after setting up the router i tried to connect to the router and only get "Local" connection. DHCP is enabled in my router but the "ipconfig /all" command on the laptop says it isnt. My room mates connect fine, one has a Mac and one has an HP running vista (not sure the version). When i connect via ethernet the internet works just fine. im leaning towards an adapter problem but im no pro in this field. iv updated the adapter drivers to the latest update (attempting to solve the problem).

Local Area Connection Can Not Connect

Dec 9, 2009

I'm using Vista on a HP Pavilion laptop and i'm having some problems with my internet connection. I know very little about computers and so struggle to follow much of the advice on these forums! I'm trying to connect using an ethernet connection so it's not a problem with the wireless. The network and sharing centre shows that i'm connected to an unidentified local network but it isn't connecting through to the internet.

Cannot Connect To The Internet

Aug 18, 2009

My laptop (gateway) can connect to any network (public, private, wired or wireless) with no problem but no matter what it cannot connect to the internet. I've tried as much as possible but nothing resolves this error and my isp says because my other computers work fine they can't help me. I've recycled the router and the modem, tried to ping the router (unsuccessful), tried manually setting up my connection (ip address, dns, gateway), bought a new router (belkin enhanced wireless), bought a express card ethernet port, reset winsock, but nothing works! I honestly don't know what to do since this laptop didn't include a vista disc so i don't think i can wipe the hard drive and reinstall windows without paying for something i already have. If you need any further info just let me know i'll be checking my internet every hour as i'm at the end of my rope!

On the network connections page it shows an uninterrupted line to the network which it always says is unidentified (even networks with names) but there's always a red x preventing me from getting to the internet and when i do the auto repair and diagnose it tells me to call the isp or get help from a network administrator. This problem occured shortly after my norton 360 subscription ran out and i uninstalled it to install avira in it's place.

Not Connect To Internet

May 15, 2010

I have a Inspiron 350 and the Router is NETGEAR G-Wireless WGR61v10. My problem is since I had a reformat on the computer. It would not connect to the internet in fact it said Local or limited connection before I changed the channel where now lets me go on Google and surf is very limited and very slow. I can't log into my programs like MSN and Skype and only logs in when I restart the computer and drops the connection again. I would like to know how to unblock the connection so I can do everything again. I am just really frustrated and would like to know if there is a solution to get the net up and running again.

Internet Won't Connect

Aug 14, 2009

Bare with me, I am a bit computer illiterate. . .I use a linksys router (I don't exactly know what type/version, but I doubt that matters when I have connected to older models, I believe). However, the only reason why my internet will not connect seems to be that I have encrypted my router with a WEP key! I say this because I can connect to unsecured routers just fine.

I have tried connecting manually, and it will accept the WEP key I type in (well, it doesn't tell me I'm wrong). . . But once I finish typing in the WEP and checking the two option boxes (start this connection automatically, connect even if the network is not roadcasting) and try and connect (to the existing network), it says I cannot connect. I am just wondering if it's something simple. . . Making a new WEP key, perhaps? I really have no clue and I would like to figure this out soon.

Not Able To Connect To The Internet

Aug 22, 2009

1) I was online and suddenly I wasnt able to connect to the internet. I called my IP provider and they told me that I could "ping" but couldn't connect to the domain name, I have run a dianostic tool which said I had no dial tone but had local area connection. I went step by step with my IP provider and we still couldnt get it to work.

2) Last night I went to open a zip file using Zipeg (never had any problems til then) and now on the desktop all my programs are opening with notepad, I cannot access my files on the desktop. When I open the files, I get a notepad with all these symbols and numbers and thats it!

Cant Connect To Internet

May 26, 2009

I had someone move into my old office & his computer (Dell, Vista Home, 1gbRam, 160GBhd, nVidia network controller) is now going to be the one wired directly into the router & modem with the rest of the 3 comps in the house getting wireless signal as they had been for the past 2 years. When I first plugged his comp in & installed the Netgear router from the disk, the install screwed up in that his comp was getting the internet cause it was plugged via ethernet, but the rest of the house couldn't cause there was no wireless signal. Also shown by the wireless light not being on on the router, but all the other were, power, LAN port4, & internet.

Not Able To Connect To Internet

Mar 25, 2010

My laptop (Vista Ultimate x64) got hit by a malware recently, removed it and is now clean. But after cleaning (malwarebytes) and doing a registry repair (using advanced systemcare pro), i was not able to connect to the internet. When i checked Device, the "Realtek RTL8168/8111 Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0)" had a yellow astrix to it. I tried uninstalling the driver and re-installing the driver from the cd. But still the yellow astrix remains and the internet does not work. I tried uninstalling the driver - rebooting - reinstalling - rebooting - still same result. let me know what i should do to make the internet work. I really don't want to do a reinstall of the OS again - have a lot of programs and would be a pain to reinstall each of them.

Cannot Connect To Internet, IE7

Mar 23, 2008

Once I open IE7 or FF it will not connect to the internet. No other apps work via internet either. I've disconnected the cable modem and rebooted and still get the same thing. Once I hit the "check for solution" on the IE screen, it says my connection is fine. I've tried this setup on my 2nd HD on the computer (XP) and it works great. Why is it my Vista 64 setup isn't working correctly. I've looked through my ipconfig/all command. I've virus checked (and safe boot w/check). I am in serious debt to whomever can help me. I've looked and looked and I haven't found anything that helps. I really do not want to format just for this one issue. Is there something in the Event Viewer I could pull up and see what's going on, or post my config?

Does Not Connect The Internet

Mar 23, 2008

I wish to replace the computer I use for valued data. To protect this data I will not connect it to the internet. From what I read, if I buy a computer running Windows Vista where Vista is pre-activated by the retailer, then Vista may still try periodically to re-validate on line. If it fails then the computer will be made unusable by nag messages or worse. In other words Vista, including Vista SP1, is not usable on a computer that does not connect to the internet. Shop assistants have told me otherwise. Please can you clarify because I can afford neither the time nor money involved in choosing the wrong operating system.

Can't Connect The Internet

Dec 23, 2008

I either cannot connect to the internet or lose my connection. I use Earthlink dial up. I have two icons on the taskbar. An eartlink icon indicating a connection and a double monitor with the globe on it.That one indicates access local and internet. The earthlink icon indicates that I have a connection but the other one indicates limited connectivity. It says I have a network connection that is not connected.There are no network connections on my PC.It seems to be pointing to Windows Media Center. I have Vista Home Premium SP1, 2 GB of RAM, AMD Athlon 64X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+ 2.30 GHz and a 250 GB HDD. I had this problem when I first got this PC about 14 months ago. Then, for no reason I can tell it just stopped. IT seems to have started again when I installed Zone Alarm Internet Security Suite. I then uninstalled and installed basic Zone Alarm. I then uninstalled that and just used the Windows firewall. Through all this the ability to connect to the internet comes and goes. In the network and sharing center when it's not working there is a connection from the internet icon to the earthlink@username Earthlink icon but no link from there to username-PC this PC icon.

Can't Connect To Internet

Jul 1, 2008

Not PC savvy, so words of less than one syllable Existing desktop (PC1) runs XP, and was connected to internet by cable modem, and ethernet cable networked to other desktop (PC2). Recently got a new laptop, running Vista. Was able to network this to PC1, files were transferred, and the laptop could access the internet through its network connection via PC1. PC1 was then moved to the other office, taking the place of PC2, and the laptop became the internet connected computer. Still using the ethernet cable, the laptop can see PC1 on the network, but cannot acces it.

PC1 cannot see the laptop, or connect to the internet, and says that there is limited or no connectivity on the local area connection, even after trying to use the network wizard. ipconfig shows that there is no gateway IP address. I've looked through all the previous threads, and the only thing that might help is the Network Magic, but PC1 currently can't connect to the internet.I'm sure all my firewalls are off. Have I missed something ?

Won't Connect Wirelessly To The Internet

Mar 26, 2009

I'm at a friends home and setting up her computer/network. I have everything running well on the XP tower but her vista laptop won't connect wirelessly to the internet. The network is asking for the code under the router. The little piece of paper on the bottom of it got scratched when we jamed it between the tower and the corner of the desk. I called verizon and gateway for her and they said they can't help and also ( as always !!!!!!!!! ) said to reformat. I know it's a security issue but come on. I had her call verizon back and they want to send her a new router and mentioned there may be a charge.

1.) how much are routers today?
2.) can they do that?
3.) does anyone have an app that can view it. I had something like it but I can't find it in my disk full of tricks.
