Problems with Powerplugs

vivaladiva

It can't find the google host. The internet setting is set to never dial a connection.

BTW I'm using Firefox and Zone Alarm if that's any help.

I ran ip config again and it thinks its disconnected.

I am confused, you said the pings were working?

vivaladiva

They were until I reconnected the powerplug. Does this mean one of the powerplugs has packed up?
Ran ipconfig again and it says the IVp4 address is 192.168.2.3.
The PC has got 192.168.2.2. Does this make a difference?

albertross_2

the laptop will have a diff address, each bit of equipment has a unique one.

using the powerplug, what happens with these?

ping 127.0.0.1
ping www.google.com
ping 64.233.183.147
ping 192.168.2.1

First one is fine.
It can't find host on google.
Last two get sent and received 4 packets 0 lost but it does say host unreachable.

on the laptop, could you do this

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

and post the contents, if you have a usb key, you could transfer the c:\1.txt file to a pc on the internet to stop you having to type it all in

ipv6 can cause some problems on vista pc's, you could try deleting the protocol in control panel networks. also try turning off zonealarm

vivaladiva

That was a bit too easy.
It said access denied to the first command and can't find the file for the second one.

albertross_2

there is a space after ipconfig

albertross_2

have you still got the wireless router? it might be easier to get that working

vivaladiva

Yes I got the space. Tried again still says access denied.

Where do I find the ipv6 setting?

Just noticed I have an exclamation mark next to a phishing filter in advanced settings. Is this causing a problem?

I do still have the wireless router, but it was an absolute nightmare for dropping the connection - it's the other side of the wall from the phone.

The router only has one port light on now. The other port light is still orange.
