Internet problem

LiamC · 10 May 2010 at 19:28

Got my mates laptop here.

Problem is it will not connect to the internet. It says its connected through wireless but web pages will not load.

Also tryed connecting it directly and it still wont work.

Ran Virus Scans etc, Would do updates but cant get on the net to download them.

LAN switch is on.

Any ideas?

pretty sure its DHCP. Networking is my weak area!

Its Vista

And ipconfig is just saying Media disconnected

Checked and they are set to find them automatically.

Everytime i scan for a wireless network it can't find any even though my other laptop can no problems.

It sometimes DOES connect though but disconnects shortly after ( Still wont load internet even when connected though )

check Device manager and there are no yellow flags for the network adaptors etc.

Yeah its fully charged

Its an Acer Aspire 5720Z

Its not showing as connected

I plugged in my ethernet cable and got

ipv4 192.168.2.6
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.2.1

Its Sending / Revieving Bytes but still wont go on google etc.

packets sent=4 Received=4 lost = 0 (0% loss)

approximate round trip
min = 28ms, max = 57ms, average 41ms

^ Same as im getting on this PC im on now.

Nope MSN isnt working.

Its weird, On wireless it'll connect to the network then suddenly disconnect. Then when i messed around it says it cant find any wireless hardware. Im guessing the drivers etc are fine.
