no internet connection.............

Options
hi,

i have got a wireless router and have got 2 computers running perfectly on it but the 3rd has just stopped connecting to the internet tonight for some unknown reason.

i can get internet on the other 2 computers (one wired and one wireless) but the other wireless one is not working at all on the internet.

it is connected to the router. i have pinged that and it worked but have tried pinging https://www.google.com and no luck whatsoever.

Any help would be appreciated

Andy

    looks like your wireless card might be disabled.
    Go into networks and it should show you all your network options. Right click the wireless option and re-enable it, or disable and then re-enable.

    This indicates that the network connection is not working.

    Check that the drivers/card are installed correctly and that you are within range of the router.

    Also IPCONFIG /ALL should return more info than that. What does it say about IP addresses, default gateway, dns servers, dhcp, lease?

    i'd do an ipconfig /release followed by an ipconfig /renew as your lease is obtained today but expired 101 years ago.
