I'm having trouble connection to the internet from my laptop (running vista). I am connecting through a cable modem (no router). The modem is working correctly. I can access the internet through my desktop (running xp) and playstation. I've tried everything I can think of (I've disabled then enabled the local area connection). I've run diagnostics-- shut down and reset the modem--- rebooted the computer-- removed freeware that I installed that may cause an incompatibility problem. When I reboot I only have local access only-- if I configure my LAN it says the device is working properly (Broadcom 802.1 1b/g WLAN). When I try to repair the connection-- i receive a dns error-- then the icon on the bottom right hand corner of the screen suggested I have an internet connection--but when I try to connect to the internet it reverts back to "local access only." I've also tried ipconfig /flushdns ... and also changing to an open dns. I'm not running off the battery--it is plugged into a wall outlet. Any ideas? Note that I have a limited knowledge of computers--- But i've spent a lot of time searching online for possible solutions. -- mscop ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mscop's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/mscop.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-help/1031307.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
