This is due to Virus and Spywares.
Follow these steps to solve it:
1. First of all download the WinsockFix Utility from the following link:
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Network-Tweak/WinSockFix.shtml
2. Run it and click fix.
3. restart the computer
4. go to Control Panel -> network connections -> right click the lan connection and click properties
5. In the general tab double click on "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" from the list.
6. re-enter the details as necessary.
I hope this will solve your problem.
Actually i also had been facing this problem since long, and couldnt find any solutions untill recent and i had to reload the operating system every time i got this problem. But now not need to relode the operating system with the help of htis utility.
(AND PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS SOLUTIONS SOLVED YOUR PROBLEM) | 5 surferboy, on Feb 13, 2009 9:21:24 am GMTI have the same problem as above. Have tried to scan with ad-aware, spybot search and destroy and superanti-spyware. Have also run winsockxpfix but still cannot get onto the internet. The problem seems to be with the DNS. If I type in an I.P. address in my I.E. then it can go to the site but i cannot type in any web names.
What else can I do?? | 9 Tirachel, on Feb 19, 2009 5:27:47 pm GMTHi there,
I don't know if this will work for you, but this worked for me. I tried all the options above on my Telkom mega105wr router. I went to network connections, right clicked on Local Area Connection, clicked on status, clicked on support tab, clicked repair. I was able to connect to the internet after that.
Hope this helps!
Tirachel - Cape Town, SA | 93 DELORES Baltimore,MD, on Jan 25, 2010 8:02:15 am GMTMany thanks !!!!!!!!!!! It solved the glitch. I could not repair my IP address, it told me to contact the service provider. However by clicking on configure that worked out nicely!!!! Then I immediately click on Widows Update and a big smile crossed my face. Many thanks to you. That glitch had me frustrated for a long.........time? Top of the day to you! | 96 distressed teacher, on Feb 6, 2010 4:37:46 pm GMTI had the same problem. But I can't figure out where you went to configure to try that for me. Can you help?? |

| 94 kev000, on Jan 25, 2010 2:01:21 pm GMTRight click on your internet icon and run diagnose and repair, if that does not work you can unplug your router, wait 8 secs plug it back in. If that does not work, reset the router by pressing the small button in the hole with a pen or whatever you can find that will fit and hold that down untill all lights light up then let go. Wait for it to re establish a connection. |

| 12 Norm in TX, on Feb 22, 2009 2:49:11 am GMTI encountered the problem after another problem that required a Norton Ghost backup. I, of course, assumed the backup was in some way the problem. It wasn't. Your fix has me up and running. THANKS! |
| 13 Subhendu, on Feb 24, 2009 12:29:20 am GMTHi,
Thank you. This worked. I downloaded the utility from the URL provided through another computer. The only difference is that I had to reboot twice. After checking the LAN settings, I had to reboot and only after this was able to connect to the net. |
| 17 SSatBERK, on Mar 6, 2009 9:25:30 pm GMTTo Md Vasiullah:
I downloaded the winsock software, but when i restarted my computer i got an error message:
Network Connections folder was unable to retrieve the list of network adapters on your machine. Please make sure that the network connection device is enabled and running.
And when I opened network connections I didn't see the LAN connection option anywhere.
Still internet-less. Advice?
Thank you! |

| 27 Rikosound, on Apr 21, 2009 4:35:30 pm BSTI have the exact problem! I downloaded a spyware and it corrupted the computer however, how in the world can you download anything if it won't get you on the net? I am showing a connection however, when I look at my wizard and it shows what devices I can use, One wireless router, it shows disconnected! I don't get it! |

My daughter's computer will allow her to access IM and outlook email, but she cannot access internet explorer. I am sure the advice about downloading a software program above is great (the one with a link), but how can she download the link if she can't access the internet?
Thanks |

Thanks,

| 53 Peter, on Sep 25, 2009 5:38:18 pm BSTThank you so very much Md Vasiullah, I spent over a day trying to fix this, I thought it was my isp at first since it happened shortly after they changed some stuff over here (and it was affecting both my OS's Xp 32 and XP 64).
Anyway tryed almost everything, different cables, restore points, virus scans, lspfix, new users any, reinstalling the network driver and loads of other crap, untill i stumbled apon this winsocks thing which totally fixed it! |
| 54 riojackson, on Sep 27, 2009 1:43:31 pm BSTThank you so much for the tip! I had the same problem, so I did what you said, and manually put in the DNS/IP numbers, and it tottaly works. For some reason I was able to connect wirelessly, but not with my wired connect. |
| 55 gadgetman, on Oct 10, 2009 4:28:32 pm BSTThis worked great fr me i had exactly the same problem thank you.

| 56 Kat, on Oct 21, 2009 3:56:38 am BSTJust had to thank you! I've been unable to connect to the internet on my PC. My laptop (which is connected via a wireless router) has been working fine, so my internet provider was planning on charging me over $100 to come out and take a look (since it was a PC issue - not an internet issue)! You saved me lots of money - and you saved my sanity! I've tried everything imaginable for days on end - to no avail. THANK YOU!!! :) |
| 58 Dan, on Nov 2, 2009 6:08:23 pm GMTHey man, I tried this today and it fixed my problem.

| 68 trobinson, on Dec 13, 2009 6:06:35 pm GMTThank you very much MD... My desktop has been down for almost a year. I have caught myself looking and looking and looking on threads trying to find an answer as to why I can access the internet with my laptop, but not my desktop... I knew it had to be an IE bug, but have not been able to find ANY answers until I finally found this thread and read your suggestion. It worked. For all of you that keeps asking how can you download the link when you can't access the internet. I was asking myself the same question until I just tried typing the link in manually... IT WORKED...
So type it in MANUALLY... It should pull up. | 88 pansy, on Jan 18, 2010 12:29:08 pm GMTHi i was reading about ur trouble not being unable to get connection to internet what is it you downloaded please im having same trouble help |

| 69 Ramiro, on Dec 15, 2009 7:23:41 pm GMTI experienced the same problem with Windows 7. One day my desktop computer just did not connect to my network, (all other computers did). I downloaded that program (by using my neighbor's unsecured network) and in less than 3 minutes, the problem was gone! Thanks a lot! |
| 73 John, on Jan 1, 2010 6:05:33 am GMTHello john here... i have been facing thus problem after i reformat my computer and now my internet sot liao |
| 78 henar, on Jan 11, 2010 12:40:53 am GMTMd Vasiullah's solution worked. THANK YOU!!!
To others having the issue - Download the file on a removable disk in another pc (i.e. usb drive, compact flash, etc.). Then put the removable disk in the affected machine and run it. One other helpful hint is to be patient. I have too many thiings running on my pc, and it probably took 30 minutes to come up after the fix. I will go back and start cleaning all the unnecessary programs running on my machine, update many malware and spyware tools, etc.
Good Luck! |
| 80 Borgy, on Jan 12, 2010 10:48:45 pm GMTThank you MD V. Your advice was perfect. After downloading and running winsock utility on a vista laptop. I rebooted and had instant connection to the internet - I didn't even need to go to Network connections afterwards. You are a star! |
| 86 lynjon, on Jan 16, 2010 10:59:56 pm GMTI can access the internet, get onto any sie, but it will not allow downloads..I think I have a virus but I don't know how to fix it
