| 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? |
