834688 2009-11-29 21:34:00 A friend of mine has a Sony Vaio that is connected to a wireless network. There is one other Laptop connected to the network. This other laptop can access the internet, but the Vaio can't. I can ping websites but IE, Chrome and FF won't load a page. I tried to open a few sites by typing in their IP address, still no luck.

Any ideas?

834689 2009-11-29 22:47:00 Done a malware scan? pctek (84)
834690 2009-11-29 22:50:00 Any firewalls in between?? Any proxies on it?? If there are, kill them. Connect it with ethernet, see if it works. If it does, its a wireless prob Speedy Gonzales (78)
834691 2009-11-29 23:02:00 Done scans, Only windows firewall and no proxies. Ill try a cable stainton (15333)
834692 2009-11-29 23:17:00 It can download things, ie. Limewire etc works, through wireless stainton (15333)
834693 2009-11-29 23:32:00 Sounds like something is blocking it then, or its not using DNS server ips. Put some DNS server ips in under primary and secondary under the connection Speedy Gonzales (78)
834694 2009-11-29 23:37:00 I've tried to open pages using their IPs, would that count DNS out? stainton (15333)
834695 2009-11-29 23:42:00 No put the ISP's DNS server ips in under the connection / properties / TCP/IP entry. Speedy Gonzales (78)
834696 2009-11-29 23:52:00 Is that in TCP/IP properties? stainton (15333)
834697 2009-11-29 23:55:00 Is that in TCP/IP properties?

Thats it, the bottom option. Under IPv4 (not 6 if its there). Where it says use the following DNS server addresses. Preferred and alternate DNS server. What ISP is it going through?
