309833 2005-01-02 09:10:00 So it connects, the connection stays on but you can't get web traffic.

Have you tried pinging something.

Try going Start --> Run --> command

At the prompt type:

ping www.google.com

and see if it works

Then try

ping 202.154.150.35

See if that works.

Sounds like your TCP/IP might br shot. If you have a firewall, try disabling that.

Post back the results of the ping test.

309834 2005-01-02 09:40:00 Once u connect, can u use the browser?? If you use Windows?? If not this maybe a sign of a worm. ie: The bagle/beagle worm.

I fixed a mates pc that had this prob (if yours cant use the browser. As this worm disables a firewall (if u use one like NIS 2003/2005), and in turn shuts u out of the browser...and puts a few 100 files on your system.

309835 2005-01-03 07:32:00 Last time I saw this happen it was a DNS issue - go to the connection properties (will vary depending on your OS, which I don't know) and manually enter in your ISP's DNS server address. Xtra's are 202.27.184.3 and 202.27.184.5 Growly (6)
309836 2005-01-03 07:44:00 What is your Operating System? The fix required could be different depending on the OS. Davesdad (923)
309837 2005-01-05 09:32:00 The OS is win/98se
Tried the "Ping Thing" got "no server found" when ping on google, Got "4 packets sent 100% not returned" on address: 202.154.150.35
It has an anti-virus but will check again for a worm etc.
ihug is the server will check address and try that also, it's set on auto at the mo.

Thanx for advice so far.

Format is so damn useful isn't it ;) At work, we often run into trouble with the computer, and because it is a retail environment where theres usually customers waiting to pay -and only one computer to do it with, we use Control-Alt-Delete . Boy does it work like a treat! :D
