| 1164779 | 2010-12-26 04:56:00 | Seasons greetings I have 2 laptops connected wirelessly to our system no probs accessing the internet. ! win7 , 1 xpsp3. They can see each other but not the desktop. The desktop ( win7) cannot access the internet or see laptops. Our isp was down yesterday - problems since then. I thought we had the problem but can't see what i have changed. Helpdesk has helped with ping etc and thinks something is blocking acess to the router. Physically it is ok. Did full scan with MSE . Only found " remote access win32 realvnc ? " and fixed. Any ideas please |

| 1164780 | 2010-12-26 08:35:00 | Might have affected your hosts file, or perhaps changed your ip settings. can you ping or tracert the router? If not, check the ip settings and the like on the desktop, under the LAN ipv4 settings. (network connections > properties of lan connection > ipv4 >properties) Also check your router doesn't have something like mac filtering or ip address restrictions in effect, particularly if you have a dynamic IP on your desktop (or an incorrect static IP) |

| 1164781 | 2010-12-26 09:08:00 | yep the ipv4 settings have all been checked ok. Where do i check the router restrictions Thanks |

| 1164782 | 2010-12-26 09:25:00 | should be in the router's config. Type your router's ip (ie 192.168.2.1) into your address bar of either of the working pc's and check for any entries under mac filtering or ip filtering, or enabling of DHCP server. Also might want to check your hosts file, google tells you how to do this. edit - as will this website. malektips.com |

| 1164784 | 2010-12-27 06:47:00 | have you tried flushing the dns cache and all that as well? www.tech-faq.com Did you try pinging the router from the win7 pc? is the win 7 pc able to ping itself? (127.0.0.1) |

| 1164785 | 2010-12-27 08:09:00 | thanks for your help, ping tells me sent 4 rec, 4 lost= 0 means ? sucessfully flushed dns .. not sure what the results mean when displayed |

| 1164786 | 2010-12-27 09:19:00 | Those results confirms its not working -- 4 packets of info sent, none received. Try this -- Click start, type in Network - select Network and sharing Center, top left, change adapter settings - Does it show the connection as Connected, or disconnected.? Has this Desktop ever been able to connect to the Internet ? What software have you got as a firewall ? The windows inbuilt,OR some third party, like (sorry for swearing) Norton Internet Security ? |
