What type of internet connection do you have? Is the laptop connecting to the internet alone or does it connect via a router? If you go to Stat/Run in the run box type cmd then in the black box type ipconfig /all and post what it says in here. Lastly are there any firewalls running on the laptop such as Windows built in firewall, Norton Internet Security, Zone Alarm, ect ect?

its a wireless connection through a router. i disabled everything but it still doesnt work. i just dont understand why 4 hours ago it was workin and now not and i didnt touch any settings or never downloaded anything

ANY other ideas??

Go to Start/Run in the run box type cmd and hit enter. Now in the black box at the flashing promt type ipconfig /all and post what it says in here. We are most interested in what it says for the Wireless Adapter.

it says: ethernet adapter wireless network connection, then has my dns, then ip that i have automatically mean given.

i can also say this, lets say i have two different wireless connections A and B
i connected to A and it works fine, then went to B and it still fine, now back at A its not receiving packets. ??

The ip address, dns address, and gateway address was what we need to take a look at. Post them in here plz. As they are private network addresses you don't have to worry about security when posting them to the forum. Everyone in the world that has one of those routers and uses dhcp gets the same private ip addresses.

dns: iconnect.zm
IP: 192.168.1.102
subnet mask:255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.1.1

Ip, subnet and gateway look ok what does it get for dns?

[philmetz]

wat u mean dns... its iconnect.zm
so wats wrong wit it

[bAdWaYz]

The dns suffix might be inconnect.zm but the dns entry should be an ip address. There could be many things wrong like no dns entry, signal loss, not connecting to the right SSID, user error ect ect. I would say if you have any control over the router to log into it and set it to channel 1 or 11, also go into your wireless adapter settings and setup a profile for it to connect to. Instead of trying to hit the first open network it sees give it a target you SSID.

it seems to be workin fine now, i completly removed the connection and then connected again and its fine.
