Computer Is Saying That It Is Connected But Won't Go To Browser
Mar 25, 2012
We recently changed from dial up to a mobile hotspot device for internet services. My computer is saying that it is connected but It will not go to my browser. It gives me these trouble shooting reports: Remote device or resource won't accept the connection and the device or resource (Google) is not set up to accept connections on port "the world wide web service (http)"
Ok so I have a fairly new computer that had Vista on it. I got the free upgrade and upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium. I've been using 7 for about 3 weeks now with no problems at all. Then out of nowhere approx 3-4 days ago, the internet doesn't seem to want to cooperate. Once in a while web pages wouldnt load and now most of the time my browser will fail to load any pages. I called my ISP tech support and everything is fine on their end, and I can confirm that I am indeed connected because I can play multiplayer games, use utorrent and occasionally msn messenger.I've tried both Firefox 3.5.5 (default) and IE 8. It appears that there is some conflict somewhere that is denying me internet access. I need this resolved ASAP since most of my school notes are online and it's midterm/finals time.
While talking to tech support I was advised that restoring windows to a backup may solve the problem. So I did that with a backup that was 3 days old and it worked for maybe an hour then I had the same problem.I should also note that I am NOT using wireless. I have a wired cable connection.When the browser does decide to work, I find that it is very slow. Even my download speeds on utorrent have decreased drastically.
My Desktop is connected to my router vie WiFi and it says I have connection to the Internet. However, i cannot access any website, be it by typing in the name or the IP address.At the same time, I can ping all websites. I can find them via tracert, which also nicely resolves the IP adresses of any sites I type in. I also tried two different WiFi dongles (Cisco and D-Link) both have identical problems.I reset the winsocket and i tried to log in as another user - to no avail.To make things even stranger, I cannot even access the router (192.168.1.1), but i CAN access the NAS connected to the router (192.168.1.100).The laptop which is connected to the router via WiFi has no troubles accessing either the router or the outside world so I am fairly certain that the problem lies with my computer and not with the access point.My computer gets his IP via DHCP (fixed on 105) and is within the same subnetmask as the router and has the routers IP adress as standard gateway (all that via dhcp).
I have worked with computers for years but this fault has me stumped.Basically every time I try to type a word in the windows search, ms office, notepad etc... a browser is launched as many times as I type.i.e. if I type help.....I get four browser windows open.I have consulted numerous techs and all say it is malware.There is one other but the name escapes me. But it found nothing also.So after much deliberation I reinstalled Win7 over the top. Still happens. Finally I have done a complete new install....and you wouldn't believe it still happens.I even deleted the old windows files and still the same.My Laptop is a Satellite P200, Core 2 Duo with 3 GB RAM.I am running 64 Bit Win 7 and have all latest updates from Microsoft.
I need to monitor a computer when i am traveling, the computer will not be on my network and i would like to monitor and track the websites visited while i am away
My computer has been running slow for months, but it is now getting to the point where it is almost unbearable. For example, just clicking on a folder to open it can take up to 15 seconds to respond. It also lags a ton during internet browsing.
I have FF 17. The mouse is freezing in facebook & I find the only escape to release the browser is reboot. The same FB page works fine in internet explorer.
it's been about a week now and my computer just freezes. and stays frozen. it happens most often when i leave a browser up and walk away from the computer. the only other thing i have noticed happening lately is that i have been getting warnings that my browser is using a lot of memory. it says this when i am running an app on facebook or when i have 2 or more tabs open like in Internet. i am not very familiar with the tools used with windows seven so i did not run high jack this. (i am using internet explorer 8)
I have Windows 7 on my computer. On the top of an internet screen I used to have the words "File, Edit, View, Favorites, Tools, Help". But for some reason I lost those words. How can I get that toolbar back?
I inserted a blank CD to add music into, using iTunes 10 (maybe 11).It did the job but all of the music were incomplete and the lengths were like 8 or 6 seconds.I tried to format the CD but it didn't work.Then I got angry and smashed the keyboard, and it froze.I force shut the laptop WITH THE CD STILL INSERTED and ejected it, then turned it on again.Windows started Startup Repair and it finishes, then restarted.And again Startup Repair ran again, then it told me it can fix the problem in a new dialog box.My computer is not connected to the Internet and I'm using a substitute computer to type this.A box in the dialog box showed the following text: [code] I closed the dialog box and it told me: (translated from Japanese, may not be that accurate.)
If you connected devices such as cameras or portable music players to this computer, please ejected them and then restart the computer. If this message keeps appearing, please ask the administrator or the manufacturer of the computer.Then I click Finish to restart.And again Startup Repair showed up, and the same message showed up.I clicked something like Show Restore System Option to restore the system, but it says the restore point is broken during restoration, and when I try to restore the system again, it still doesn't work.
Is it possible to have a computer connected to a LAN (via a router/switch) but not connected to the Internet, being that the Internet signal comes via that router/switch?
Constantly lose my connection to IP when going to other sites amd have to keep reconnecting. How to I get my IP to stay connect while the computer is in use?
So every once and a while i experiment with my boot partitions and normally end up messing up my system, booting into a live ubuntu key, drag my data onto my external hdd, reinstall, and not lose anything. This time however, I now have another drive. My original drive is 1.5tb and new one is 160gb. I tried to install windows 7 on the 1.5tb. "can't do its a dynamic disk bro" umm ok. Tries the 160gb "can't do it bro, the other is dynamic" so I turn off and disconnect the 1.5tb and install on the 160 just fine. I install drivers, softwares, and all other necessary things. Now I turn it off and hook up the 1.5tb and tada! failure to boot. It says something like "no bootable media found" then lists my sata devices (says all but 1 are connected [ all but 1 are])
I custom built my computer and I am having problems with intermittent freezing. The computer freezes every second or two when I am connected to the wireless internet.; however, sometimes I can be connected to wireless and it works just fine. If I disconnect my wireless connection my computer works fine. My computer is running windows 7 professional and the wireless driver is up to date.
I have a digital SLR camera, the Sony A200 and when I connect it to the computer running Windows 7 premium I get no response from the computer.The camera should automatically appear on screen with prompts to import pictures or view them.
I have a small network connected via a router.I have 2 printers connected to a computer running on windows 7.i want to share it with a computer running XP on the network.Can this be done??PS:-i am not that educated in networking so you will have to break it down for me.
So the problem is my computer gets caught at "Initializing USB Controllers" whenever I have anything but my keyboard plugged in.I have tried disabling the Legacy Support option in BIOS, but so far nothing has worked besides removing all my USB devices every time I start up.
My computer has been acting up lately,I haven't made any changes to my computer or anything but it seems to just not want to connect to the inter for more than 5 min. My othe computer on the house seems to connect fine, but mine will only connect for 5 min the can't find the network for 15 min and it does this repeatedly. I tried updating the drivers but there were no updates available. I ran the troubleshooter and it couldn't find a problem, it just said to make sure I was in range of the router, which I am because my computer was working fine in the same spot about a week ago.
I am having trouble with my laptop. It says I am connected to the internet, but whenever I open a browser( Chrome, Firefox or IE) it doesn't open any web pages. I get the message "the remote device or resource won't accept the connection". And it's not the router because we have another laptop in the house connected to the same router and it works fine. I have a Lenovo V570. Also my laptop works fine on other connections and routers, just for some reason doesn't accept this one.
So, these are giving the main performance to my machine. I have also a nice Samsung D5000 TV (32" ) FullHD. When I connect my Laptop with a TV, computer start lag. It even doesn't use all of CPU (20-25%, while playing 720p video in TV with 10 fps (Fraps)). I've all latest drivers and everything should work. Using Windows 7.
Since about 1-2 months ago whenever I hooked up my phone (HTC Rezound) to my computer through my USB chord I get an error message saying that it's an unrecognized device and that it was stopped because the device has shown previous problems. I used to upload videos and pictures from my phone to my computer about once a week for months straight and I didn't have a problem with it. Is there any way that I can adjust something in my computer to fix this?
I have an Acer Aspire laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium x64.
I regularly connect it to my TV monitor via HDMI cable and fall asleep watching movies (played on VLC or Windows Media Player). I set the computer to go to sleep after 1 hour.
Multimedia Settings are set to "Allow computer to sleep" under "When Sharing Media" in the Power Management section.
Screensaver is disabled. I have overrided my audio driver, since powercfg command suggested it may be a conflict.
If I am playing a movie without the HDMI cable plugged in, the computer goes into sleep mode right on schedule. It is only when I have the HDMI cable plugged into my TV monitor, that it refuses to enter sleep mode.
2. This is the main thing that we need. We saw this implemented at a Staples.What we want is for the computer to be locked, and to unlock it, a customer has to swipe their credit card on a box connected to the computer via USB. Once the customer does this, they can use the computer, and a small timer in the corner shows how much time has been used, since they are being charged per minute. Then, once the customer is finished, the computer will relock and print a receipt.oes anyone have an idea on how to do this? We've tried programs such as Smartlaunch, but we were having trouble with it, and it appears that an account has to be created for each user. The point of the set up we require is so that we don't have to be present for the customer to pay to use the computer.
The CAT 5 Ethernet cable network cable is attached to our main Linksys WRT320N DD-WRT router ---> Motorola SB5101U DOCSIS 2.0 Cable Modem ---> Coaxial cable from wall outlet. Another computer is also directly connected to the same router via CAT 5 Ethernet cable and two more computers are wirelessly connected to the same router and none of these three PCs are experiencing issues so this should rule out the router as the culprit.if I leave the computer on (even for hours) with no network cable attached to the computer, it does not turn off. But as soon as I plug in the network cable, the PC will shut itself off within 5-15min.Based on the same scenario as described above, here are the troubleshooting attempts I made without success, except for numbers 4 and 6:
1. Switched to different network cable and router port.
2. Disabled Network Adapter connections in "Network adapter settings" for both the onboard ethernet port and wireless adapter.
3. Ran MSCONFIG.EXE and rebooted in diagnostic mode. Only basic Windows services are loaded. No startup programs are loaded.
4. Rebooted in Safe Mode with networking but could not establish any network LAN/WAN connection. Computer did not shut off!
5. Cloned entire hard disk to another hard disk and switched SATA data and power cables on the same computer.
6. Installed fresh Windows on different hard drive on the same computer. Computer did not shut off!
Out of those 6, only numbers 4 and 6 were where the computer remained on and didn't shut off at all after the network cable cable was plugged in.
i have a brand new toshiba laptop connected wirelessly. however it keeps showing connected however no internet access.i have a notebook as well that is brand new and it connects no problems what so ever.im using windows 7 home premium and 64 bit os.
We have this headset. In the sound menu, it says not connected, while I did put it in the computer? (And I didn't put them the wrong way around, and have checked all my drivers.)
Why all my icon always refreshing/reloading every-time my computer connected to internet?I'm using Avast HE and MSE for my anti virus, but I dont think it's relevant.The problem occur in windows Windows 7.
