Problems with LAN

Options
Having a problem with accessing the internet with a netgear router and ethanet cable. It is connected but can`t get any web pages. Can`t "repair" as the lan connection isn`t showing in network connections. Have tried unplugging the router and restarting the computer but no help. the laptops are fine and the pc worked until sun, please help.

    I had a similar problem a while ago, on the router somewhere there will be a tiny button that you have to hold down with a pin, turn off the P.c and hold this buttone down, you will ahve to reintsall the software for the router but this cured mine.

    ipconfig

  • Have done a ipconfig and ping the ip address, sent 4 packets and dropped none , it seems to be the dns and i don`t know what to try to repair as the icon lan is blank. I am upstairs on the kids comp and it works fine.(but oh so slow...)

    which ip address did you ping?


    ipconfig /all >c:\1.txt
    notepad c:\1.txt

    dns server should be your router, usually 192.168.0.1

  • 192.168.0.2 i think, just going downstairs to try the above. are the two lines seperate and press enter between them.

    yes separate

    if you could post the c:\1.txt, it would help diagnosis, you'll need a usb key/floppy etc to do it

    that looks ok.

    Can you

    ping www.google.com

    and ping 64.233.183.99


    what settings do you have in IE/tools/internet options/connections and all subpages?

    Do you have a firewall installed, norton etc.
