| 882940 | 2010-05-07 04:11:00 | Have my husband's asus laptop at home and it will not load webpages even though it shows a broadband connection.It works fine at his office,at the neighbours, in short anywhere but here. The broadband connection here is fine (I'm using it right now on my desktop) I ran a virus check on the laptop and it's all ok. He uses IE8 but I tried Firefox with the same result. I have a Thomson ST536v6 ADSL Any ideas what's wrong please and why it will work everywhere but here?? | olwyn (8088) | ||
| 882941 | 2010-05-07 04:29:00 | Is your broadband router, or could be some other device, giving out DHCP IP addresses? Check your machine and see if you have a static IP, gateway and DNS set. If there is no DHCP server, on the router or wherever, then you will need to set a static IP on your husbands laptop or enable DHCP on the router would be the better option. Is this a wireless connection or cable? |

| 882942 | 2010-05-07 04:44:00 | It's a cable connection, not wireless. Sorry to be such a dummy but is the router the Thomson Speed Touch thing that sits on the desk with lights flashing and if so how do I enable DHCP? | olwyn (8088) | ||
| 882943 | 2010-05-08 03:07:00 | Have discovered that DHCP is not enabled on the laptop. How do I enable it? | olwyn (8088) | ||
| 882944 | 2010-05-08 03:29:00 | Go into its LAN / NIC properties / TCP/IP entry. See if its on auto | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 882945 | 2010-05-08 03:43:00 | I ran a virus check on the laptop and it's all ok. Not relevant necessarily but a virus check with what? Best Pay: NOD32 Best Free: Microsoft Security Essentials AVG, Avast You also need to be doing weekly scans with antispyware - NO AV program will find it all, in fact most won't find bugger all. Spybot and Malware Bytes are the best two to use. Use at least two. |
