Apologies once again for ignorance, but "check DNS"? Where? How? I should mention that things worked perfectly up to about 2 weeks ago. Then I would get on after about 5 attempts. Now I can't get Internet at all on that PC without system restore. |

| 285430 | 2004-10-29 00:35:00 | Under the TCP/IP properties General tab the "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically" are selected. The PC I am using now (not the one with the problem) is also set up the same way. That would suggest the settings are right. Yes?? | k8smum (6062) | ||
| 285431 | 2004-10-29 01:28:00 | Not if you are having problems. Enter the DNS on both computers. |

Hmm... as an IT worker, it is a constant source of frustration that people just expect you to help them with their home computers. Not trying to antagonise, but maybe going to a repair store might be better... I mean if you were a builder would you want to knock together a deck for someone on your days off? Food for thought. > Meantime, is there any danger in continuing to do > system restores? No, but the root of the problem is more important. When you reboot, can you: See the other computers on the network? Get e-mail using a normal mail program like Outhouse Express? Use other apps like MSN? or is it just IE? Have you: Checked for viruses? Run SpyBot/AdAware? Run all the WindowsUpdates Do you: Have a firewall that might be hosing it's settings? Know of anything else significant that might've changed around the same time the problem started? Kids downloading new programs etc? |
