He went deep into some folders I know not where and removed some WinSock2 info, and did some other magic, and lo and behold, the DNS now is set to automatically find addresses rather than fixed on two addresses, as it was previously. Does this make any sense? Can either of you help me understand what he did and what it all means? Thanks again for all the help along the way. You two have been great. I appreciate it. False alarm So everything worked fine yesterday -- internets and all.
Then I shut the computer down when I went to bed last night, woke up this AM and restarted it, and it was back to the same old song and dance: It says I am connected but I cannot access the internet. I need it to STAY on "Obtain DNS server addresses automatically," and the previous fix from a very handy cable guy involved deleting I think the information in the Winsock2 folder and then doing some other magical fixes.
Thanks for any helps anyone can give. Texas Reb. I have the same exact problem Hi Bill, Did you ever get your issue corrected? Any help would be appreciated. I have the same thing back again so have given up with IE and now use Firefox. I tried firefox and it doesn't work either. What I have done in the past where this sort of conflict exists is to fit a second network card to the system and to set them up differently.
Won't always work but if you have a card spare it is worth a try! Try disabling one of the connections, sound silly but it worked for me My wireless was connecting to the network but the internet was not working.
I had a hard time believing it was failed drivers or updates as I have not done any auto updates since my last connections. My laptop is used for work so I'm constantly assigning new addresses and connecting to different networks. However I get home and it won't let me connect to my home wireless. I checked my Mac book and of course no problems whatsoever.. Finally I disabled the ethernet connection. This disabled the internet connection for a few seconds and then restarted the service.
I was then able to connect to the internet over the wireless. Hope this helps. Limited or co connectivity Have a look at the link below: Limited or co connectivity This will help for sure.
