Limited Or No Connectivity - Memory Sticks
Oct 31, 2008
My computer say "limited or no connectivity" when I startup my desktop PC. I have reset the cable modem. I have called my cable company and they tried to do a remote reboot of the cable modem. I have uninstalled software I recently installed in case of a conflict with applications. My cable company also walked me through doing ntsh, I think it is, in the run box to try to reset my connection. I have disabled and re-enabled my local area connection. I have run chkdsk and it "found one or more errors on the volume", which it repaired. All this and I still have no internet connection. I'm entering this from a remote terminal so I'll download HijackThis to my memory stick to run a scan. I'm also going to do the Network Diagnostics. If you have any suggestions in the meantime, feel free to suggest.

I have formatted 2 separate computers this past week and both of them gave me trouble with the Adsl internet connection. Both computers have been formatted with the windows xp cd (1 home & 1 pro version respectively) & formatted in dos -> ntfs file system
computer 1
win xp home sp1
this computer worked well until i installed sp2 on it showing me 'limited connectivity)
computer 2
win xp pro sp2 incl on cd
this shows 'limited connectivity'
the strange thing about this is that i could connect both computers to my network without the warning & everything works fine but when configured as standalones and connect the internet adsl modem into the nic they give me this error. tried winsockfx & microsoft repair tool from their site but to no avail. the prob could be from sp2 as the computers dont give me errors without it but i installed my own personal computer with sp2 & never had any problems with my nic or adsl modem. Could it also be that i primarily connected them to my network b4 i tried configuring them?

My dads new laptop is running fine except for the fact that we cannot get it to connect to the internet at all.I've searched these forums, as well as on google and tried a few fixes such as the official microsoft fix with the regestry entry but nothing is working at all. I'm planning on setting up a wireless network pretty soon and would like to get his computer online.I know the modem is working fine because my computer connects perfectly and I know the cable is fine beccause at the moment I'm using the same cable, just switching them back and forth.

I have a Ecs P4vxasd Motherboard, Pga socket 423. The mainboard accomodates 2 DDR 184 pin 2.5v + 2 SDR 168 pin 3.3v Dimm sockets with a total capacity of
etting various blue screen errors, to go along with several reloads. I downloaded a memory diagnostic program from this site. My computer didn't pass the test, so I removed on stick and it passed this time. I assumed that the memory stick was my problem, and ordered a DDR 512 mb pc3200 stick from Curcial.com. I installed the new memory and got the same error from the diag. test. I began swapping memory around. all three sticks worked fine by themselves in either slot, but put two together & I would get a bad diag.

Recently, as the available free space on my 60 gigs hard drive dropped to 3 gigs, I started getting an error message at bootup that said that the virtual memory page was too low or zero along with intructions on how to change it in the Control Panel.I have since changed hard drives, installing a 100 gig drive in my HP Pavillion laptop. I have changed the virtual memory setting in the control planel from "Let Windows Manage Memory" to setting actual limits. It is currently set to 2048 megs. Nothing I do will eliminate the error message at bootup. While the responsiveness of the computer was very slow when I had the nearly full drive, it seems to have returned to normal with the new, large hard drive.

I got a message about my DIMM configuration being arranged in a way that was not optimal, that it needed to be installed in a parallel way to work the best.
I called the guy who gave it to me and he came to look at it, he removed one of the 3 sticks of RAM, and left. And that fixed NOTHING. So I booted the computer from Last Known Good, I uninstalled SP3, then reinstalled it. And that seemed to fix it. Except now, the computer shows that I'm running SP2, NOT 3, and I can no longer open Internet Explorer. It won't open at all.

I have just purchased an off-lease computer from an online warehouse company. The computer is a Dell Inspiron 530, with integrated graphics and 2gb DDR2 Samsung RAM. Once my computer has been running for about half an hour or so, it will lock up for about 7 seconds, then unlock for a bit, repeating this process. A reset will fix this problem temporarily. In between lockups, I managed to get into the task manager and under the "Performance" tab, every time it locked up, the usage of my first core would skyrocket to 100%, the second core showed no jump in usage. I could not pinpoint the process which is causing this because each time a lockup would occur, under the "Processes" tab, it would read no spikes in CPU usage.
I have removed one of the sticks of RAM to see if it was the culprit. If the lockup occurs again, I will try to replace the stick

I currently have 2Gb (2x 1Gb sticks) DDR2 800 RAM in my system and saw an offer for the same RAM for 1/3 off the price I'd paid before so I decided to grab it while it was there. However, when I install the extra 2x 1Gb sticks the system won't boot fully and I don't know why. When I took them out and left the original 2x 1Gb sticks in the system works normally. I'm going to switch the sticks around to see if it's faulty RAM or bad RAM slots but it works fine in the BIOS and booting up. As soon as I enter Windows and login it the keyboard LED goes off, the mouse LED stays on and the system freezes. than switching the RAM out to test the slots on the motherboard?

My PC has been having problems with internet connectivity for about the last 2 - 3 months, and I can't seem to find what is causing (caused) it or how to fix it.See profile for full system specs, but more specifically to this problem, Marvell Yukon 88e8001/8003/8010 PCI Gigabit Ethernet controller (updated the driver today) plugged into Netgear WGT624 wireless router running through Motorola SB4200 cable modem. Another PC connected wirelessly is not having any problem with the router. so I don't think there is any problem with it or the modem.System declared clean by AVG Pro, MS Anti-spyware, Adaware, Spybot, Trend Housecall.
After booting, warm or cold, after about 10 mins the internet connection drops out. Local Area Connection Status shows packets being sent, but nothing will recieve. My strong suspicion is that XP firewall is somehow corrupted, as I can't turn it off. I've found a way around this though, and that is to start ZoneAlarm, which is able to turn off XP firewall. After starting ZoneAlarm, I can then close it down and XP firewall kicks back in without any further problem although the connection FEELS slightly slower than in the first 10 mins before it drops out.

My sister has one desktop with Windows XP, one laptop with Windows XP and on laptop with Windows Vista.She wants me to network all three. I asked her if they were all wireless or what and this is what she sent me via email.Both laptops are and I think the pc we just took in the basement is because it was connected to the printer wireless. Why do you ask?The modem and router that were attached to the pc that is in the basement are now under a table in my bedroom and the laptops are connected to them wireless.

The state of my computer has been in steady decline. It all started when i got a message from my nortons internet security that winlogon.exe was trying to contact the internet.I ran hijckthis, i ran spybot, i ran ad-aware. fixed items i thought needed to be fixed. I don't know if it was before or after all this, but i began getting pop ups from sites i know do not have pop ups, like my own. ran all the programs again. the same offenders keep popping up... i have posted my logs on this site but sadly no one had responded.anyway, now every time i restart my computer, I get a dll error. every time it is a different dll. also, when on for an extended amount of time, say overnight, i lose internet connectivity, even though my cable modem is showing that there is lots of activity going on.can anyone givew me a clue what's going on, or where i can begin looking? should i just scrap it all and reformat my computer?

I have been fixing a computer with more spyware than you could imagine on it. Its all clean now , all trojans and spyware removed, however in the process of removing these nasties, the computer has now lost its ability to connect to the internet. Networks fine, all obvious things have been checked, firewall, proxies you name it. Is there a way to re-install the internet connectivity services and files?

My main computer's (XP, SP3) Internet connection is shared among 3 other machines via ICS. However, one machine (XP, SP3) - which runs a couple of P2P programs - usually loses its connectivity (even file sharing) after a few days. I'm running Kaspersky Internet Security on the main computer. I've tried disabling it (for testing purposes) to no avail. I've also disabled Windows Firewall on both machines with no improvement. Using a router is pointless because it freezes after a few days (due to the P2P programs). I've tried 4 or 5 different routers (even the "good" brands).
Is it simply an overload in terms of the number of connections possible? Does ICS, in principle, face the same problems as a typical router? Because I've even tried reducing the number of P2P programs to just one and also limiting the number of connections it makes. (Not to mention "fixing" the 'tcpip.sys' limit on both machines.) Any ideas what the problem could be and how to fix it?

I'm running XP Home Edition. A few days back I contracted one of those viruses that hi-jacks IE, but I was able to catch it before it completely installed. I used Malwarebytes, AVG and SuperAntiVirus to get rid of it and (after several scans) I'm now pretty certain that my system is 100% clean.Nevertheless, under the one user account that was infected AND in Admin (Safe Mode), programs like IE, Firefox, and Rhapsody can no longer find an Internet connection. Also Malwarebytes and SuperAntiVirus can't find their respective update servers. However, Bittorrent and Outlook still work fine and I can still ping IPs and Web addresses from the command window. The other odd thing is that one user account (on the same computer and that does not have Admin privileges) is still working perfectly.

I lose internet connectivity after a variable period of time of being logged into my computer. I can actually ping and do tracerts to verify that I can "see" the internet. But, my any other methods of accessing the internet do not work! I can't surf using a web-browser, my IM clients do not work, and I can't play any of the online games. I can still share files with computers on my local network.

Running System :~ WinXP SP3 My 1st ( <- Can't count ) post so I d/loaded ESET security suite on 60 day trial without any problems whatsoever. When it came to remove it 48hrs ago I discovered I couldn't re-start my Win F/Wall due to missing ICS (module?), I gave up on that for a while and tried a couple of 3rd party options but got fed up spending more time answering pop up questions (3 in 1 s/ware d/load) so I decided to do a disc recovery.

I am trying to upgrade the RAM memory on my Gateway MX3230 notebook. It presently has 256 MB and I would like to upgrade to 1 GB. I have checked the Gateway website and and upgrade to 1 GB is acceptable. I purchased a memory module from Kingston which was listed as being compatible with my laptop. When I tried installing the module, the computer will not start, nothing but black screen. It's as thought there is no memory at all. I tried re-installing the module making sure it was inserted in as far as it will go, still no luck. There is no settings in bios that I can see that would prevent the acceptance of this module

I am using Intel pentium 4 cpu 2.40GHz, 1.25 GB RAM. Iam using 80 GB samsung hard disk.
I installed Microsoft Windows XP Professional service pack 2 on a drive of 10 GB memory space with NTFS file system.
After the installation of Win XP, the drive properties shows 4.9 GB of used memory and only 4.45 GB of free memory, but when I try to find total memory occupied for all the files in that drive (using "select-all" and properties) the used memory is only 2.3 GB only.
Now I don't understand the huge difference of this memories calculations. Where that extra used memory gone, when the total memory occupied by all the files is much less.

why my Windowx XP sees only 1024 MB memory while I've increased the original memory of 512 MB by 2x 512 MB ?My motherboard has three DDR-slots. It had from the beginning a Kingston K 512MB PC2700 module in slot #1. This week I've added two Kingston K512 UDIMM 512MB PC2700 modules in the slots #2 and #3.All three modules has the type name KVR333X64C25/512, so I thought they would be compatible.

I have a white box Pentium 4 CPU with XP professional service pack 2 build 2600 installed. The motherboard is an intel D865GLC with 512 MB RAM installed in Dual channel mode with 1 256 MB stick of ram in slot zero of bank 1 and 1 256 MB stick of ram in slot zero of bank 2. This memory is dual channel compatible. I tried to add another 2 sticks of the same type ram but from a different manufacturer.
Here's the problem: I can use any 2 of the 4 sticks of ram together, both from the same manufacturer or 1 from 1 manufacturer and 1 from the other for a total of 512 MB. Everything works fine. I can place one stick in slot 0 of bank 1 and the other in slot 0 of bank 2 or I can place 1 in slot 1 bank 1 and 1 in slot 1 of bank 2 with no problems. I can even place a 3rd stick of the same type ram in any open slot and all's fine (except the machine complains that this is not an optimal memory setup). Memtest86 reports no errors with any of the above configurations
