No Internet Connect Windows 7 Desktop And Laptop?
Aug 31, 2011
I purchased a laptop last week with Windows 7 home premium. Currently have desktop wire to router with Windows 7 home premium as well. Everything hunky dorry in regards to internet connection. 2 days later, I've lost internet connection to both computers. Both say I'm connected to my network. I have other mobile devices that can connect to the router, so I don't think that's the issue. I read about disabling Home Group, which I did and that didn't help. I've got to think that there is a setting I just need to tweek, but have yet to come across something that works. The laptop does connect at my work to the WiFi so the network card is working properly. Both computers will connect to the internet if I bypass the router and connect ethernet cable directly from modem to computer.

I have setup Remote Desktop on two different Windows 7 computers and I am unable to connect to them. I have followed several examples, which are the same on setting this up, but still unable to connect. The examples show trying to connect using the computer name and user name. If you are connecting say from your office computer to your home computer, do you not have to enter the IP address somewhere or does it just connect via the computer name?
I have yet to find anywhere to enter an IP address or connect any way beside just using the computer name. I am setting this up to connect Windows 7 to Windows 7.

I have tried connecting to my router with both wireless and lan cable but they both fail. What is strange is that my vista laptop (currently using) has no problems connecting either wirelessly or using the same lan cable as my desktop failed with. My windows 7 desktop was working fine earlier today but after I went out it installed the updates and since then no amount of rebooting or restarting of the router has fixed the problem.

I'm using a desktop. I'm trying to connect via a Trendnet Wireless USB adapter. I have Windows 7 64 bit.
The internet works perfectly fine on my iPhone, iPad, Laptop, and the other wired desktops and wireless laptops in the house. The USB adapter worked before when I had a different ISP and a different router.So here's the point where I'm at. The adapter seems to be receiving a signal. It looks like packets are being both sent and received. However, my connecting process always seems to get stuck and it returns an 'Unidentified Network'.
And here's one more piece of information. At one point earlier today I actually did manage to connect internet, but only for a little bit (I accidentally hit disable and haven't been able to get back to it). I noticed that when it was connected, instead of an unidentified network, it showed A00-###### (I can't remember what or how many numbers there were).

My HP Pavilion Entertainment Laptop Model dv6602 au on a broadband cable cannot connect to the Internet. The cable is directly connected to ethernet port on laptop. When I connect the cable to the wireless router - my laptop gets connected to the Internet but if I want to use the cable directly to my laptop - it does not.If I connect the same cable to other laptops - the broad band connection works but not on my laptop.

My PC connects to the internet (wired) perfectly, but my TOSHIBA laptop does not. The router does not show the correct lights when plugged into the laptop, so I have tried resetting the router (with no success). When I plug the ethernet cable into the laptop, nothing happens at all.

I've been away from the PC world for the past few years because I've been running a Mac.I decided to get back into some gaming on picked up a Dell XPS desktop running windows 7 ultimate x64.I bought a Asus USB N10 Wifi Adapter and it won't connect to the internet. It gets a limited activity logo over top of the connection. Today I tried plugging it rite into the router with a LAN cable and still, no dice. Came up with an IP address error.I'm guessing this is a router issue? When i run ipconfig in cmd prompt, it doesn't even have a default gateway?

I have a laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit that will not connect to the internet. I can ping websites and get a reply, but Internet Explorer just hangs and I get Not Responding in Task Manager. I have ran Malwarebytes, AVG, and Microsoft Security Essentials. None of these show any viruses. I tried installing Microsoft Fix It, but it would not load. I get the same results if I boot in Safe Mode with Networking.

I have an Acer laptop windows 7, but Just recently (yesterday) a problem came up that at first I thought it was the modem but now I see the problem is my laptop. And basically when I run the windows network Diagnostics 3 problems come up:
1. None of the networks you have previously connected to are in range,
2. Problem with wireless adapter or access point, and
3. The default gateway is not available.
So I am not sure what to do?

Just bought a new lap top HP Pavillion few weeks ago, the laptop found my wireless network straighaway and all ok for last couple of weeks.Just this week for no reason at all my laptop can't connect to the internet, I get a yellow fuzzy or a hazard sign over the signal icon, if I hover over it says connection strength excellent, I see my network, click connect, I wait, prompt for the diagnostic, then it just says "cannot connect to the internet" My old laptop is XP and has also lost the internet.The actual desktop PC has internet connection as it is hard wired from the blue ethernet. So I plugged the blue ethernet cable directly into the laptop it took a while but finally connected but after a short while it went again even though it was still physically connected.My next step was to power down the router and the cable modem, still no joy.I went to PC world and they suggested installing any updates, which I did (apart from the IE9), still no joy.

I just brought home a brand new Toshiba laptop running Win7 and I can't connect either wirelessly or with a cable. I have a home network with many other devices, including 2 other laptops, that are connected just fine. With the cable I get the dreaded "error 651" and wireless I get "unable to connect" Troubleshooting the latter I get "investigate the router or access point". Well, it's working for all other devices. I tried getting the laptop to connect using the hotspot on my iPhone and that was fine so it's not the hardware.

Well my Laptop is a inspiron n5110, its pretty new. THe problem i am having started on and off, Out of nowhere it would say that my computer has lost internet connectivity in the little wireless strength bar icon, then it would gain connectivity a couple seconds or minutes later. out of the 4 people who live here it is only my laptop... but now my computer can't connect to the network at all wirelessly.. at the moment im all cramp up connected to the router by ethernet cable since this is the only way i can get on the internet. The weird thing is its only this connection, when i go home to my real house the wireless is flawless. im a college student who is renting a house with room mates.

I bought an HP envy 14 beats edition and i've been trying to connect to my home internet, and while it seems to be connecting to the network, it wont connect to the internet. Its running windows 7, and I tried all the repairs that it prompted me to try, but could not resolve the issue. I know it isn't a internet problem, because the desktop is working and an xbox that connect wirelessly with no problems. At school the laptop wont' connect either. I tried diagnosing my wireless hardware and connection everything passes except the ping test. What does that signify?

I have an Acer Aspire 5552 running Windows 7 64 Bit with 4GB of memory. I suddenly can no longer connect to the internet wired or wirelessly. IE won't display any pages and I can't even ping Google from a command prompt! I am able to see all available networks wirelessly and am having the same problems on multiple routers. Other computers are able to connect.I have run scans using MalwareBytes and Super Antispyware. I have made sure that IPV4 and IPV6 are set to obtain an address and DNS server automatically. I ran a ipconfig /dnsflush command.

I've got a desktop and a laptop both with Windows 7 on the same LAN and both have their network setting to Home. From my desktop, I am able to add a network location in My Computer to connect to my laptop. However, on my laptop I am unable to connect to my desktop. The desktop shows up in the list of network locations on my laptop but it always times out trying to connect to it and just says there was a problem with the connection. know the problem is not with my laptop because I am able to connect to my other PC as a network location. I really need to be able to connect to my main desktop though.

Brand new to this group - trying to find out if I can connect my laptop to my desktop to make it easier when I'm working from home. I'd rather use my desktop monitor and keyboard but need to access the files/applications from my laptop. I don't want to have to unplug the monitor/keyboard each time I'm home to work.
