if i add an entry into the hosts file, shouldn't it stop me from trying to access that webpage? i'm also wondering, how to lookup the ip address of pages i visit, or servers i connect to so i can prepare similar file configurations to hosts and firewall settings.

I just installed DSL in my house. It's all hooked up and when I try to access it with my laptop, both wired and wireless, I get DNS Lookup Failed. I've done some of the common suggested fixes:Reset the modem and router Manually set the DNS (using Google) So, I'm at a loss. I know the computer itself is fine, as I've used it on other networks. Admittedly, I'm not 100% certain the DSL is properly working, but I will speak with my ISP tonight to make sure that it isn't the issue.
View 6 Replies View Relatedi just tried yesterday to install a Kapersky Lab 2012 in my netbook and while installing it remove my MSE,i change from MSE to Kapersky because i was not satisfied with the results of MSE when someone inserted a 4gb usb stick and i suspected it right away it contains malwares,while scanning i saw a lot of ".exe , .pif" ..and i know those wer not part of her files because she didnt even care what was it and the results where NO THREAT detected ..my virus defintion is always updated and i also use a malwerbytes to recheck the scanning,but same results. >can anyone tell me why this WELL known scanners did not detect it?and now after installing a Kapersky..when trying to activate a 30 day trial first,it says "FAILED" and when i look in my status of my network it works fine. and i tried in a browser i receive now a "DNS look up fail bla bla" i tried Chrome and Firefox and i suspected i was being contaminated with that usb stick..so i used the Kapersky Virus Removal Tool 2010 and Dr.Web..which was suggested in my previous thread.it detected a few virus and hacking tools which is "CloseApp.exe"..but after 3 hours of scanning..still i coundnt connect to any website,but my network status is fine. i can send and receive packetdatas..also run the ping 127.0.0.1 and ipconfig but everything was fine.

View 3 Replies View RelatedOur PC internet quit working a few days ago. Our wireless laptop and Ipods work. After some (hours) of playing, I noticed our homepage was set to something Babylon. So realized we had some virus issues after research. I have run SpyBot S&D, SAS and Malwarebytes- all came up with some various serious threats. CouponBar, Babylon, I want it! etc. These programs seemed to have removed all the problems, but I still do not have access. My LAN can find my network, but says "no internet access" the wireless does not connect either on this PC.
My computer knowledge is minimal but after comparing various ipconfig screens, it seems to have something to do with the IP addresses. I read that 169.254...is not good. I disabled IPV6 and when obtaining IP addresses automatically didn't work- I typed in the ones listed on the details part of the adapter. Here is a screen shot of my IPconfig/all with LAN only: Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . .. . .

My internet connection shows 'no internet access' even though my ISP shows the connection is coming into the house just fine. I usually use a router (NetGear-WNR3500U) but I right now I have the Ethernet connection plugged directly into my PC. I tried directly plugging into my laptop and the internet works just fine. So I know the problem resides in the PC.
Some troubleshooting things I have tried.
-Power cycled my modem, router and PC.
-Repinged my connection from my ISP(Comcast Xfinity)
-Used the reset option on the router and the modem
-I was walked through the internet options needed with the tech support from my ISP to make sure DHCP was enabled and every other setting was correct, and he cleared me that all settings were correct.
-Tried ipconfig commands to /renew and /release my IP When I tried ipconfig /renew I get the error 'An error occurred while renewing interface Local Area Connection : unable to contact your DHCP server'
-Restored my PC to a restore point where the Internet was working
All of these options did not work.
What I think the problem is and I am not sure how to fix it, when I run the ipconfig /all command my Auto configuration IPv4 Address shows 169.254.112.76 which I was told is a router IP address even though I am plugged directly from the modem to my PC with an Ethernet cord. So I think that's my problem? But I am not sure.

I have recently purchased a Sony VAIO Laptop, running Windows 7 Premium. On my attached screenshot, you will notice parts of the pages are transparent, I can see my desktop and other images which are underneath. Is this normal on Windows 7 or should I return it to the store from which I purchased it?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm having a strange problem that I have never seen or heard of. Every time I try to do anything in windows 7 that requires an internet connection, it gives me a "Page cannot be displayed" or "Page not found" message. The only way I can get some pages to load is to refresh them several times, after wich they will finally load.It is not just a problem in IE8, as Chrome, and firefox do the same thing. Windows will not update anymore as it cannot get a connection, and I cannot purchase items from steam or itunes because they give me a "cannot find a secure connection" error. I recently reformatted and the problem still persists. Other PCs on my network do not have the same problem. I recently moved all of my components to a new chasis, and am wondering if the ethernet port or controller could have been damaged
View 9 Replies View RelatedI was using Google Chrome and it just suddenly wouldn't load ANY pages. My internet is working fine. So I used Firefox instead, as that seemed to be working fine. But today, that's being really slow. And most of the time goes into "Not responding." if it needs to load something like a video.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just formatted my windows 7 a month ago and re-installed it . Few weeks ago i changed my modem to Netgear N150 modem + router . After that Most of the websites don't load . Eg : Facebook , yahoo , ms support , etc . I was scanning for any malware or virus but i didn't find any . And i hardly installed software in my computer . Even this forums is not loaded fully . My connection is really bad its oly 512kbps connection but most of the websites load in >10secs but now a days in any browser they are not loading at all. Not loading in the sense they are loaded half or not at all . Otherwise the loading thing is going on and on . It never ends. I checked my connection speed with speeedtest.net and got 524kbps which is my speed . When i download things i get the correct downspeed which i used to get early . But now most of the website are not loaded . I have norton and malwarebytes installed scanned the computer like ten times now . I first taut that dey both wer blocking web traffic and so i shut them down and i didn't find any improvements

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a really weird issue that I just cannot figure out, but it is annoying as ever.I use Google Chrome and sometimes when I am loading a webpage, the entire page doesn't load properly. For instance, below are 2 pictures.This first picture displays how everything is messed up and did not load correctly.how the website should normally load up to look like.Notice the difference between the two? And it's not just this page that does it, it's almost any page I go to and it happens randomly.how all of the smiley faces didn't load and all of the images above the message box? I don't think it's my connection. I've called my ISP a few times already and seriously questioned different reps and none of them can see any kind of problem with my connection.

I was doing some benchmarks with Sandra & noticed in Windows 7 that my memory bandwidth was reduced from XP & Vista...but why?
So I looked all the way at the bottom of the bench to see a exclamation with a warning. So I double clicked it & it brought this up.
" Warning W5010 : Cannot use large page memory pages due to lack of privileges.
Fix: Use the Local Security Policy to give yourself lock memory pages privilege.
Large memory pages greatly improve performance when large memory blocks are allocated."
So I gave myself privileges to enable this and was very surprise with the performance increase although I still don't understand what it did & why so much of a memory bandwidth increase...
Screen-shots below say it all... from 62% (6497mbs) memory bandwidth efficiency to 65% (6838mbs) with lock pages in memory enabled.
Does anyone here know what this does exactly & can you explain it to me to where I understand if this is a setting that is good or bad to have on for system performance.
btw, I have 4Gbs of installed memory on Windows 7 32bit.
