| 763897 | 2009-04-11 02:55:00 | Hooked up to a motel network via patch cable. seems to find an internal IP but nothing to the outside world. using auto dhcp with same setting as i use at home which is just plug network cable in and it find an ip. www.imagef1.net.nz i can ping likes of google.com etc and get a response but nothing on IE or email. Firewall off, A/V off, connecting to broadband at whitianga. Any ideas what setting i need to change to get an outside connection. currently connected via vodafone card:-( |

| 763898 | 2009-04-11 04:15:00 | Try using these two as yoru DNs servers: 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 Blam |

| 763899 | 2009-04-11 08:04:00 | nope blam that is not getting an outside connection either, i also tried ihug dns server dns ip's. weird thing is that i can ping places and get a response. ie's lan settings are on auto. it is a bit of a mystery unless it is a motel problem instead of my laptop. they did reboot the modem/router for me but they know f/all about computers. |

Because otherwise you could happily download all the pron and movies you wanted........ If not, then I'd start by looking at your PC, malware, etc. |

| 763901 | 2009-04-11 08:25:00 | What happens when you enter 74.125.67.100 in the address bar and hit enter? | Blam (54) | ||
| 763902 | 2009-04-11 08:26:00 | Looks to me like a DNS problem - you need to change the settings in the modem/router since it is set to act as a DNS server (10.1.1.1) instead of getting it off the internet. | johnd (85) | ||
| 763903 | 2009-04-11 08:46:00 | yes john i was wondering about that. the office has their own pc on the net unless it is set up differently. |

| 763904 | 2009-04-11 08:55:00 | yes john i was wondering about that. the office has their own pc on the net unless it is set up differently. The fact that you can ping google.co.nz shows that the DNS is working, or at least you have the entry cached. Do an "ipconfig /flushdns" in a command prompt, then try pinging Google again. If you can't then it means that the DNS isn't resolving properly. Can you also do a "route print" in a command prompt (when connected to the motel network), and paste the results here? |

| 763905 | 2009-04-11 22:06:00 | done somebody: www.imagef1.net.nz pctech yes if working i can see no limit on download, no l/p required. blam "enter 74.125.67.100 in the address bar and hit enter" Nothing there either. I am convinced it is the motel setup, it is a new place (quite a big place, apartment style place) but they say people just plug into the sockets and it works, but maybe this room is not done correctly:-) Using the motel dialup now might be cheaper than vodafone. The motel broadband is free IF it worked. www.whitiangaholidays.co.nz |
