My brother-in-law came over and told me I could connect to my other computer through an internet connection, so we set one up and it didn't work. Now my internet won't connect, I can't update my virus protection or firewall, and I don't know what to do. I have tried different Ethernet cables, setting up different connections, and tried wireless, but it didn;t work because I knew my PSP's wifi max wouldn't count as a wireless adapter for my laptop. I don't know if any of this will help, but if someone knows what to do please help.

type in the following:
start run: cmd
then type in: ipconfig
as long as the IP is NOT 169.254.X.X then you are ok. if it is, reboot your router and then computer.
If IP is ok: whatever the gateway is(last thing in the ipconfig results), is the IP of your router.
ping router-ip-address. reply? no: reboot router
yes, reconfigure router to accept DHCP settings.

***replace***** the two between the courses which attempt to regulate the community card and are conflicting with one yet another. Disable one or the different restart the computing gadget. With in basic terms one application controlling the community card now. it might artwork. Judging via your further records. that's the likely source of the priority. in case you're uncertain of a thank you to disable one or the different courses controlling the community card. call Dell tech help. additionally it form of feels that your router and community card is setup for "automatic dhcp". you particularly need to state which community card, router, working device besides as any correct ideas for any solutions to be powerful. My best guess could be that your router isn't assigning your computing gadget a the best option IP address (if it relatively is connecting in any respect) e.g 192.168.a million.a hundred. Your ip address on your computing gadget shouldn't all be zeros. i'm assuming that your ISP's issuing of addresses is dyanamic. substitute your router's configuration to "automatic DHCP" besides as your prompt community card and notice if that works.

Go into My Network Places and run the Network Wizard. That should set things back up for you.
If not, please give more information. What are you using for your Internet connection, cable, dsl, etc? Do you have a router? Do you have a hard coded IP address set?

You need to set your tcp/ip properties to automatic on the connection. Then connect it to your router or modem again. Re-start the machine and it should connect.

Clear your DNS and ARP cache. At a command prompt (Start->Run: cmd)
arp -d *
ipconfig /flushdns
Then disable Windows firewall for a few minutes.
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
Then you can re-enable the firewall when an IP is gained.
