Internet Problem

happy_2008 · 6 Jul 2007 at 09:01

Computer was all workin fine the night before until this morning! I switched it on as normal and noticed that the internet wasnt working :mad:

We have 2 computers connected to a safecom ADSL router and the other computer seems to be workin fine.

Anyway, everytime i click on a webpage it seems as though nothing is happening :confused:

I tried connecting to my router and again nothing happens! I checked the status of the connection and it seems that no packets are being sent or received (Well a few at a time).

But heres the interesting part, my steam application will not work if it doesnt connect to the net! But if it manages to connect itself through my super super slow connection then i can do gaming perfectly fine without any problems :confused:

DNS problem. Is dns set to auto? Could also be spyware

How do i check whether DNS is on auto or not....? I have run AVG and adaware on my computer and all seems fine!

go to network connections, right click in local area connection, props, then double click tcp/ip. Both radio buttons should be set to auto.

Will try that tonight but why would it have changed on its own....? Was working fine the night before :confused:

If that doesnt work im gonna re-format XP to see if it could be the lan port playin up :mad:

Could be spyware i reckon.

Checked the DNS all appears correct so it looks as though it will be a complete format. The computer i have noticed is running a lot slower than normal
