Can't Connect Internet - Flushing Arp Cache Failed
May 11, 2005
failed on my laptop with Win XP Pro. I have been trying to manually remove Norton Internet Security, with little success so far, and find now that I cannot connect to the internet either through my wireless or LAN at the office. Thsi must be something simple? Quick and easy to correct? Each time I do a repair on the LAN connection I receive a message "flushing the ARP cache" failed etc.
C:WindowsTemporary Internet Filescontent.ie5, which i cannot seem to do. They say i should see a series of 4 or more random 8 character names like "ADOZMZS1", which again, I cannot figure this out. So if anyone could
I downloaded part of this file and then stopped it halfway through. Now I want to re-download it but it still is only downloading part of it (I think from the cache). Can someone please tell me how to clear the cache so that I can re-download the whole file. I cleared the Temp. Internet Files, Cookies, ran disc clean-up, shut-down and re-started the computer, removed and re-inserted the RAM but it still only gives my part of the file.
I can not change the size of the Internet Temp File cache. The slide bar moves, but the size of the file remains the same. No matter what size I select, 10, 15, or 20mb, the error message "Set size to 1 or 0" appears. If I set the size to 1, I get the same error msg. This is causing no end of problems with my e-mail. It takes upwards of 45 seconds to open each e-mail. And in most cases I can not go to any ref'ed URL mentioned in an e-mail.
I have just set up TightVNC on my home machine which is running XP Home edition. It is my first experience using VNC with port forwarding from a router (I have comcast for internet access and a SpeedStream 2623 wireless router connecting my cable modem to my PC). When I try to establish a connection from a client, it will pause for maybe 10 seconds and then return with a "Failed to connect to server" dialog.The puzzling thing is that I turned on logging for the server and from the log file it looks like it's connecting just fine.
I'm setting up my friends home network. They have 2 PCs connected via ethernet and one laptop on wireless. The router is a wireless router / modem from 2wire. PC number 2 and the laptop both connect with no issues. PC number 1 is weird though. I can go to 192.168.1.254 and it opens up the router system page and I can go through and change and view settings. However when I try to go to any websites it immediately goes to "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage." I have tried netscape and the iTunes store and nothing can connect to the web. I have linux ubuntu on a Live CD and I can boot from that and it connects to the internet just fine.
After long periods of my internet connection being idle (2+ hours usually), all programs requiring internet access are unable to connect. By idle I mean I leave to run some errands with no programs other than Zone Alarm running. My DSL modem still has all lights flashing and active. There are a couple other scenarios where this occurs as well. Ex. I'm playing WoW for extended periods but not using the internet through any other program, then upon alt-tabbing no other applications are able to connect to the internet even though WoW is still connected and functioning. Rebooting the router/modem doesn't fix it, but rebooting the comp does.
do internet users get assigned a unique ip address everytime you connect to the internet? and what is the difference between a ip address and a mac address? different types of a networks?
I'm using Window's XP PRO SP3 installed, I have a question about some System.ini file setting, namely, I have 1GB RAM installed, can anyone tell me what under my V cache in systems.ini for min-file cache= & max-file cache=, I have a problem opening some applications by double clicking their ICON from my desktop.
I am on a cable modem running W2K pro sp2 on a Dell 4400. My cable modem checks out OK as well as my ethernet card. There are no viruses or spyware in the computer as I checked that today. I've been thru level 2 tech support with my ISP and they are saying that the problem lies within the computer. When I open my browser I get the error msg page cannot be displayed and I cannot access any web page
my computer crashed and I reinstalled windows xp then used the duracom recovery disc. Now i can't connect to internet,they tell me to copy drivers to disc, but don't understand how to do this or what to download to disc to reinstall to my other computer
I have Windows XP SP3 and I did some updates two days ago: I allowed a java update that was hanging around in my lower tray for a couple weeks, updated my adobe to the latest version and I updated to Internet Explorer 8. After having IE8 for less than 24 hrs, my husband and daughter said they didn't like it, so I did a system restore to three days ago and now I can't connect to the internet at all. From the small amount of research I've been able to do here at work, it seems that once you download IE 8 you can't revert back to a previous version? Could anyone tell me if that's true? I can't even open the internet options tab from the control panel to see if there is a settings problem.
i am having trouble connecting to the internet on my xp pro. i am using a wired connection and it detects the connection and connects but then it crashes right away and error message pops up and it asks me to submit a report
Upstairs, I have a desktop and a laptop. They are connected to my wife's computer, downstairs, via wireless. Both my wife's downstairs computer and my laptop, upstairs, will connect to the internet just fine, but the desktop will not, even though it shows that there is a strong signal being received. I am running Windows XP Pro, version 2002, with SP2. The computer has an AMD Athlon chip. It used to be a Tiny computer, but after having a major meltdown, about two years ago, I took it to a repair shop, and they installed an ASRock I/O K7S41/K7S41GX motherboard, as well as a new power supply, so I don't really know what to call my computer, now. I guess it's just sort of a mongrel, Heinz 57 Variety.
I have tried using System Restore, but it won't allow me to restore to a former point, no matter how far back in time I go. I started it up in safe mode, then ran AVG, but no viruses were found. When I go to Control Panel, then "Network Connections," it shows that the wireless network is up and running. Even so, I tried repairing the network, by right-clicking on "Repair," but got the following message: "Windows could not finish repairing the problem, because the following action could not be completed: Failed to query TCP/IP settings of the connection. Cannot proceed. For assistance, contact the person who manages your network." Unfortunately, that person is me, who is totally clueless
I formatted my pc, and when I go to My Network Places->Add a network place or set up a home or small ofice network, nothing happens and I cannot connect to the internet.I dont see the internet icon on my tool bar

Main computer in home on Comcast cable..........CD/RW suddenly was not recognized and internet stopped working. Switched out modem, still no internet. Comcast tech came out, ran everthing to his computer and internet worked. Plugged modem in via USB and tried to load USB drivers, but no CD/RW...I took CD to secondary computer (hooked up to the main by wireless connection) to download drivers onto a floppy and THIS CD/RW would not recognize the data CD.......in explorer it showed the D: drive but would not read the data CD...I put in a music CD and in explorer it showed everything listed on the CD........... CD/RW worked briefly on main computer (long enough to load the USB drivers), and even connected to Internet via USB in the modem.....but again, the CD/RW quit and the internet connection was lost again. Do you make any sense of this? I'm so tired of all of it.

I am running with an 1.6g AMG, ATI Radeon x800 pro graphics card, 2 hard drives... one sata and one IDE. no idea what the mobo is is and I also have a gig of ram.

I was forced to reinstall windows today as my windows files were corrupted for the second time in two months. Now that I have windows on a fresh install i'm having some device problems. I can't connect to the internet or network b/c my computer is not recognizing my network card (among several other devices) in my device manager. How do i get it to recognize it? i can search for drivers on my other comp but I dont know what network card i have.
It shows the available "unsecured" wireless connection but I am not connecting to it. I have tried the repair connection option but didnt do any good. Everthing was working properly until last week. I tried to roll back my computer settings but am unable to do this.
My son was just using his computer last week, it was working fine. He goes to use it the following day and he cannot connect to the internet. We have multiple laptops in our home along with a desktop. We all can connect just fine. We can't figure out what is going on with his. I've tried to reboot,we've tried connecting to the hard line, we've checked out the wireless router and the signal is fine. We've played with everything that we can play with and nothing works?
I just got hit by a trojan that attempts to download malware. My virus protection stopped all the downloads and I was able to manually remove the trojan, but I'm concerned I may have missed something. Three times in the last couple of days, I have discovered the dialer on my computer open like some application was trying to connect to the internet.
I used the purple reboot cd from my dell laptop to reboot my dell dimension 4600. Everything went well at first. But now I cannot connect to the internet, and my graphics card is not recognized. Under device manager there is a, 1394 net adapter, under network adapters. But here is a list of the ones that have a yellow exclamation mark next to them,Ethernet Controller, Multimedia Audio Controller, PCI Simple Communication, SM Bus Controller, and Video Controller.
