| 5 Sean, on Dec 2, 2008 12:16:01 am GMTStill not working here. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong with my computer? Again, the IP Address will allow me to access sites and ping them but all attempts to utilize regular www.google.com addresses have not panned out. Any ideas!?
Thanks,
Sean | 1) Turn off your firewall
2) Open your "wireless adapater" properties, make sure your "TCP/IP properties" have "Automatically assigned by DHCP" everywhere
3) If the above steps didn't bring any light, then open "Status" for your "Wireless connection", write down your IP address (the first line), network mask, gateway address and DNS servers addresses
4) Disable your "wireless adapter", open its properties, change "TCP/IP properties" to the written down information, change the places of DNS server with written one, so that DNS1 will be DNS2 and DNS2 will be DNS1
5) Enable your "wireless adapter" and try google
Postback here your DNS addresses | 8 Sean, on Dec 3, 2008 9:35:34 pm GMTTried to work it out. Unfortunately same problem still persists.
Here’s the info:
IP address (the first line) 192.168.1.105 ,
network mask “subnet mask: 255.255.255.0”,
gateway address 192.168.1.1
DNS servers addresses 24.25.5.148, 24.25.5.147, 192.168.1.1
I tried all possible combinations of the addresses
Thanks,
Sean | Your DNS servers seems to be dead to me, try to use other public DNS servers, here is OpenDNS servers:
DNS1: 208.67.222.222
DNS2: 208.67.220.220
Here is how to plug them in:
1) Open your network connections
2) Right-click on your "Local area network" or "Wireless connection", whichever you use to connect to the Internet and choose "Disable", then click on its properties
3) Open "TCP/IP configuration"
4) Fill in you IP address as: 192.168.1.111
5) Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
6) Gateway's addess: 192.168.1.1
7) DNS primary: 208.67.222.222
8) DNS secondary: 208.67.220.220
9) Press Ok, quit from properties with saving changes, right click on your "LAN" or "WAN", whichever you edited, and choose "Enable", your internet must be working now | 10 Sean, on Dec 5, 2008 12:06:51 am GMTI just don't get it. I tried your steps and it still did not work. Again I could access utilizing the ip address but not the actual web site. In trying to think of anything else that could of caused it, I know that I was in the middle of trying to update windows about three weeks ago and that is when the problem began. Any other ideas out there?
Thanks,
Sean | 11 Sean, on Dec 6, 2008 1:22:15 am GMTI FIXED IT! The problem was with windows service pack 3. I removed the service pack and reinstalled it. Then the problem was gone!
Thanks for the help!

| 15 TomJ, on Apr 30, 2009 9:44:14 am BSTThank you so much. I was having trouble connecting to the internet even though I was connecting to my network fine. It wasn't the service pack problem for me. Inputing those DNS Server codes you provided fixed the problem right up. Thank you very much. I appreciate your follow through on the subject untill a resolution was reached. |
