| 1390010 | 2014-12-12 02:49:00 | I’ve got an elderly ASUS laptop here that is driving me mad. Among many problems I can’t hook onto the Internet using my WiFi. I’ve reinstalled Firefox but no go. Even IE won’t work. The computer says it’s working with the Modem fine but do you think I can open a webpage, not in your life, all I get is Server not found. The connection between the Computer and Modem shows connected with strength excellent. Can also see all the Neighbours WiFi but can’t open a page using Google Search or by typing in the correct address. What have I forgotten to do? :blush: :thanks |

| 1390012 | 2014-12-12 03:30:00 | Yep, put in http:\\192.168.1.1 and get a box reading Authentication Required a User Name and Password are being requested........................... However, enter user name and password and it flicks and get 401 Unauthorised message. |

| 1390014 | 2014-12-12 18:27:00 | Does it work if you get a network cable and plug in directly to the router/modem? | CYaBro (73) | ||
| 1390015 | 2014-12-12 18:57:00 | Take you are using ädmin for both username and password? Dahhhhh, no, :blush: was using normal name and password so now I can see all about the modem and it tells me I am connected and can now browse the Internet. However, that is not the case. :crying Running Network Diagnostics for Windows XP – Windows Internet Explorer I get: "HTTP: Error 12007 Connecting to www.microsoft.com The Server name or address could not be resolved." I just don’t seem to get through the Modem whilst three other computers in the house plus visitors don’t have a problem. :confused: |

| 1390016 | 2014-12-12 19:16:00 | Get into the command prompt and type ipconfig /all What is your IPV4 address, Gateway addr and DNS address? ping 130.123.128.201 Do you get 4 successful pings? |

| 1390017 | 2014-12-12 19:28:00 | Probably pay to check your network settings on the laptop(if not used for a while) against your main work horse This explains it clearly csg.trinhall.cam.ac.uk , take note here (Obtain an IP address automatically) may not be ticked |

| 1390018 | 2014-12-12 19:50:00 | See if windowsupdate works. If it doesnt tell us what error comes up. And what firewall is on it (if its not windows firewall)? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

For those interested, the problem was, whilst I had checked that Internet Protocol was ticked I hadn’t clicked on it and then clicked Properties. Had I, I would have noticed that Obtain an IP address automatically was selected, but, Obtain DNS server address was not. Use the following DNS server address was however. Unfortunately, in my haste I didn’t record what that Preferred and Alternate address was or I could have checked. Anyway, that’s another hurdle jumped, now for further problems but being able to get on the Internet will be a big help. :thanks again everyone. |
