i am using a windows xp sp3 desktop and i am trying to get to my wifes Windows 7 gateway laptop. Both are on the same LAN and workgroup. i however can not ping her static address on her laptop when she is connected via wireless N to our the share router. i go into the router and see that she is connected but from the desktop i can not ping her static address by Ip nor by name does not work. i also tried going thru network places nothing. i am just trying to copy and paste files to her C$ drive. i tried turning off windows firewall on the laptop nothing still does not work.
i have some problem in my internet connection.for last 3 days i cannot browse any website using firefox or IE ,later i didn't make any change with my windows 7 systemwhen i try to ping in cmd, it shows request time out.but when i use my computer to play game that needed an internet connection, it's work fine. What should i do
I recently had a new internet connection setup this morning. It was working fine up until 4-5 hours ago, now i cannot browse websites. I can ping yahoo.ca and other domain names and get responses. Im writing this on my iphone connected over wifi, so the problem is strictly with my pc. Pc is connected by wire and it is running win 7.I cannot access my routers firmware by my pc(but i can on my iphone).Ive tried reinstalling network card drivers, disabling ipv6, inputting googles public dns servers on my adapter settings as well as several command prompt lines that i found by googling. (flushdns and netsh reset). Ive tried google chrome and ie. For what its worth, i was able to download and install a windows update.
problem is that when i go to microsoft word or powerpoint or excel, i press the "open" button and nothing happens. absolutely nothing as in no window will pop up that has the c: drive similar to when you run windows explorer or anything. i should add that windows explorer still works, its just using the "open" or "browse" button that nothing happens. This also happens in other programs as well i just cant think of them at the moment. The problem seemed to start one day when i was playing a computer game and i was also using deskspace (for organization) what happened was that the game switched to a completely seperate desktop and changed one of the desktop wallpapers. if you dont know deskspace is a virtual desktop manager that organizes it like a cube (cube desktop is better but i cant get it to let me change the icons on each desktop which completely defeats the purpose for me. Deskspace is somewhat similar to compiz for anyone who knows about that program for linux. So back to the problem after that i went to change the wallpaper back to what it was before, and i pressed the "browse" button and nothing happened. I didnt really think much of it until i tried to use word today and pressed "open" and nothing happened. from there i tried various programs and none seemed to work.
i can't browse my computer when i'm going to save a file either when i'm gonna upload something somewhere.

my guess is have to be something with the libraries but can't figure it out.. i've tried everything that is 'obvious' like dragging folders into the white area etc.
If I browse my Windows 7 PC via UNC (\192.168.0.x) on an XP PC I am unable to get a list of shares. If I Directly open \192.168.0.xShareName that will work perfectly. I have a vista PC on the same network and that can see the root fine. The only thing that I can think of is that SP1 has done something. but not sure why it would only effect showing the list of shares. As a side note in the event log i see the "Software Protection Service" keeps stopping and then starting, I tried googling it but no one seems to know if this is usual behavior to check the licence or if it shouldn't stop.
I have a strange problem. Currently i'm running Windows 7 32bit. I surf internet on my home computer. Everything was going fine but today when i started my computer and tried to browse few sites all the sites did not load. google.com gmail.com tomshardware.com etc. loaded but facebook.com hotmail.com softepedia.com did not load. I have performed a full system scan with Norton Internet Security 2011 and MalwareBytes it detected one virus and i removed it. But still the problem persists what might be the reason?
just got a new computer and i have some issues that i cannot figure out. i opened the comp, and everything starts fine. i can not use internet explor. for some reason. it will load google and Internet fine, but everything else it wont seem to. it gives me a failure to connect message. it also will not allow me to update windows, or even go to microsoft. i have turned on/off windows firewall ect. everything i can think of- which isnt a whole lot. i know it is connecting to the internet because like i said it will go to a coulpe sites. other than that it wont download or anything. my os is windows 7 home premium
I'm having what I consider to be a unique problem that even my roommate who works in tech support can't seem to figure out. I was recently a victim of...long story short, a "spider" program. I've since stopped it from collecting data, etc. and locked down my router to only allow certain MAC IDs, but now no matter which browser I use (IE,FF,Ch), I am unable to open a windows explorer window to browse for a file to upload...in this case I'm attempting to add a "gig" to fiverr.com and they require that I upload a picture, but nothing happens. The following are steps that I've already taken, yet the problem persists:Full AVG virus scan: leaned/quarantined all issueshijackthis: no rogue BHOs foundMalwarebytes full scan: all objects cleanedSpybot S&D full scan: all objects cleanedWindows event viewer: no mention or error of trying to open window to upload file.
I downloaded IE 9 beta with no apparent problem and the installation ended with a window which said some of the IE files were in use and could not be updated. I dont know which these were since nothing was open but I continued, restarted ok, and on from there.Problem: Open IE ok but can only tab browse when windows is maximized (double boxes.)CTRL+W, right click and select "Close Tab" to close a tab, and CTRL+TAB to switch between tabs works fine no matter what the size/orientation of IE. But click on the tab "x", depress mouse wheel to close tab, and click on tab to select it will only work when maximized (double boxes.) Seems like IE 9 will only work with windows maximized. All other features work ok.Installing with no add-ons, in safe mode, or with anti-virus off makes no difference
I just installed windows 7 home premium 64 bit, but for some reason, icant browse the Internet even though I'm connected. Ie thinks I'm not connected and nothing happens on firefox. I've tried the troubleshooter, disconnected and reconnected to the wireless network, and restarted my computer. Nothing changes.
I don't know if this is relevant but I got Microsoft tech support to help me download the file since I was having difficulties, and he somehow managed to disable all 3rd party programs. I'm not sure if that's related to this situation, and I don't know how to enable the programs again...
I'm able to ping both ways and able to see another workgroup Vista machine from the XP side but not my laptop Vista.No antivirus other than MS Security Essientials, no third party firewall, removed all malware TSR's.Have files & Printer sharing turned on and double checked the workgroup BUT when I tried to change the computers name I get a "error occured validating..." message.
I have a Dell 9200 (4GB ram) just did a clean install of Windows 7 64bit.All went OK but now in a strange position it can browse internet no problem, get to any any sites but will not download anything?When I click on download .. normal download box opens but nothing in the 'download To' or' Transfer rate' fields.Eventually they time out and drop.The top bar of download window shows 0% and does not change.And nothing is ever downloaded.Tried several sites nothing will download.It has however downloaded many windows updates and installed them, so it must be able to get data OK.Only thing other than standard install is after OS loaded I moved the default user profile location (as per tech doc here)I have tried different ports on router and even swapped ports & cables of PC's that are working still dame browses happily, but no downloads.First thing I want to download is anti-virus cant even download Kaspersky file.On network & sharing it shows that connected to LAN and if I open the LA icon .. it does show as active and happily sending & receiving.

I am unable to browse the net. i have tried to use different browsers but the problem is same. it says unable to locate the DNS/ webpage. i tried using data card and WiFi. my internet connection is perfectly establishing but still unable to browse. Win 7 is the os i am working on.
win 7 64 bit. all drivers updated with all microsoft updates applied. I have a Clear 4G modem.Strong signal. Other devices may connect and browse. The asus will browse great with good speed then suddenly not use the intenet. At first I thought it was a modem issue. Tried flushing the dns and winsock blah blah. Only a restart will resolve the issue.sometimes only for a minute sometimes I can go days with no problem. I have AVG protection and have run the malware tool. Oh, can ping websites thru cmd with zero loss
Let's start at the basics. How do I import my favorites from my copy on my external hard drive to my new internet explorer? When I try to import my favorites, it tells me to browse. So I browse to my favorites file and it insists that I go down to a single item and it says there is nothing to import.That will do for tonight. I feel like I've finally gotten into the 21st century. Now I have to figure if I like it or not.
Having problems with and docx files opening within the browser. In XP you would just check the browse in same window option in folder options, file types. However this option no longer exists after XP. Is there a registry setting that controls this? I have seen this issue a couple of times and I have tried the following KB article steps, but the issue still persists.Windows 7 ProfessionalIE8Office 2010 How to configure Internet Explorer to open Office documents in the appropriate Office program instead of in Internet Explorer
I just received my new desktop computer. (my old one is like 9 years old so...) I wanted to install windows myself, so I opted for a formatted HD.It looks like I bit off a little more than I can chew... managed to get windows installed. I do have an internet connection. I can connect to google and msn. However, whenever I go to a different web page, pretty much any web page, my internet will stall when loading the page. It will say "waiting for www.blank.com..." however, it will neveractually load the page! It will continue to stall until it brings my entire internet down, and I have to restart the router.I do have the up to date video card drivers installed. I installed an OEM version of Windows 7 but completely legit. I dont have any anti virus software installed. This happens in both IE and Firefox (I had to dload firefox from my laptop and do it via USB)Additionally, windows updater will also stall when downloading updates, and bring my internet down. Strangely enough, it will be downloading updates automatically down at the tray and tell me I need to restart my computer, but not force it on me.
I'm a windows 7 32 bit user. I have problem that i can't browsing. From what I check the default gateway have different value with the DHCP server value.
As you can see from the screenshot in the link below, I'm wondering why my Libraries in the "Browse For Folders" window appear to be rearranged. As I remembered before, I think Documents should be first rather than Music. I just wanna know what caused this and how do I change it back.
I have a problem that drives me nuts: in my main account I lost the ability to browse any websites. I can successfully ping to the Default Gateway and websites but when trying to open a website I always get the "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" message. I also can ping the computer from the router or another computer. Also Windows Update and Microsoft Security Essentials have no problems searching or downloading updates. And in another account on the same Windows 7 installation I can browse websites without any issues. I already tried to shut down the firewall but that didn't solve the problem.

I currently own a TP-Link TL-WR841ND router. When connected through ethernet cable i have no quarrels and everything works fine.The router and adapter are both up to date with the latest firmware etc.However, when connecting through wireless i am able to browse the web for roughly 10 minutes before i am unable to do so. The wireless connection appears active but i am unable to browse.To fix the problem i have to disable the device then enable, then diagnose which is sometimes followed by the first step again.
Other notes, i have Hamachi installed (i suggest this because hamachi produces a new icon in the adapter settings), however i'm unsure about it as the ethernet connection has no problems with hamachi installed.
Ping does not go through to one of the Windows 7 machines on my home network but there is no problem accessing from other Windows 7 machine to this machine for file sharing.
I have come over to the UK to visit family and my work laptop cannot browse for more than a couple of minutes at a time. Chat clients all work without issue, Dropbox doesn't have a problem. The Cisco VPN client connects happily when it needs to. Just the browsers stop being able to resolve IP addresses.I am connected to wireless correctly, I get an IP (192.168.0.6) from the router (192.168.0.1). DHCP provides the DNS without issue. I can ping the router and the ISP DNS servers...but still no joy.I managed to get some joy when running ipconfig /flushdns everytime it stopped. But this is inconsistent.Firefox, IE and Chrome all work for a couple of minutes after a reboot and then just stop being able to browse. As I said, when it stops, I can still ping everything listed above comfortably..but no host names resolve.My Android phone connects seemlessly and doesn't drop out. I am typing from my parents laptop at the moment..no issues, my brothers laptop, no problems.
Every device seems to work without issue except my work laptop, which I use wirelessly at home, in hotels, starbucks...you name it, I can use it no problem.I have removed the connection and re-added.I have connected via standard WPA2 key and last night tried via WPS. Each time, the laptop connects without issue, all of my messengers connect...2 minutes into browsing the web...DNS stops resolving. I even added Google DNS servers and set a manual IP...same issue each time.I found the Winsock Fix for Windows 7, applied it and restarted. So far so good...obviously, I will come back if it fails again
When I gave ping command in cmd promt. It does not work. Can someone let me kknow what might went wrong. [code] 'ping' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.
as of the last month or a little longer, my ping has gone from being perfectly normal, to increasing by x3 or x4. What happens is my ping will be just fine, then it will randomly spike up.To Chicago, I ping around 18-30. To Dallas, 40-60. And now with this problem, my ping will go from one of those, to pinging around 110 to Chicago, and 150-170 to Dallas. I don't know what could have caused this, and I'm looking for help to solve this problem.

I have a PC desktop Windows 7 ultimate 64bit and Dell Vostro 3500 Windows 7 professional 64bit. Both connected through D-Link 655 router and they are in same WORKGROUP with files and printer sharing enable. As security the PC has Malwarebytes Anti-Malwares, Comodo firewall, Avira free antivirus. The Vostro has Zonealarm firewall and Avast for anti-virus.Recently I bought a NAS (Synology DS211J) in order to centralize important documents, media files and the printer. My desktop Windows 7 ultimate has no problem connecting to the NAS. I can ping the NAS ip and name. I can see the NAS listed in network from windows explorer connect to it and browse the NAS directories...yes flawless! However the Dell 3500 could ping the NAS ip and name but I do not see the NAS in the laptop Network of Windows Explorer therefore I could not access the NAS and browse the directories. Both PC and Vostro could ping each other ip and name, both are listed in their respective Network of Windows Explorer and I could access to each other shared folders. For debugging I turned all securities softwares down on both PC . Problem still persist i.e. Vostro can ping NAS but do not see it in network. I have another laptop winXP Home edition 32bit and I could ping both PC and the NAS by their ip and names. I could access from that laptop the shared folders of the PC Windows 7 ultimate and NAS but not the Vostro. Vostro can ping ip and name of laptop winXP but not listed on his network places.
why the Vostro 3500 can ping the other machines by ip and name but it does not listed them in the network windows? Is it because of a Windows service not enable, a setting or something in the registry?
