Help please - laptop won't go onto internet

Ok it looks like a connection issue but could also be DNS
Some things to try -
Can you try pinging progressively - first test TCP/IP is working by typing
ping 127.0.0.1
Then try the router
ping 192.168.2.1
Then try google (without DNS)
ping 209.85.229.105
You could also try resetting TCP/IP (again in a cmd box) type -
netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt
Then reboot the laptop0 -
I get:
TCP/IP ping 127.0.0.1 - reply and ping statistics
Router ping 192.168.2.1 - request timed out.
So suggests it is the laptop/router - but how can it be corrected ? I have no idea0 -
Have you tried resetting the router to defaults? As the Xbox works, it would seem that the problem is more likely to be with the laptop, but it's worth trying.0

Not going to interfere with Firefox but in this post from corners here the default was 192.168.2.2 nor 2.1 ??? something dodgy perhaps with rtr4.8kWp 12x400W Longhi 9.6 kWh battery Giv-hy 5.0 Inverter, WSW facing Essex .

look for DHCP enabled on both adaptors and also compare the Default gateway values - they should be the same
# I tried and tried but I could not be heardyou need to verify that the 'Default Gateway' values are the same

Sorry, FireFox, the wired connection is now saying "limited or no connectivity" (which we've had before recently but I can't remember how I corrected it), so the comparable data is quite different:
Dhcp enabled on both
Default gateway value on Wireless = 192.168.2.1
Default gateway value on wired connection = [blank]0
