internet problems!?

Question

hi
my comp used to be able to get on the internet but now its having problems. Normally, i just plug in the internet cord(not usb) from me modem into the computer but now, when i open Internet explorer, it just sits there and then displays an error message. i ran the diagnose test, and it said that it restored connections to the internet, but when i refresh the page, i still come up with an error.

i have kaperskys internet security 6.0, spybot - search n destroy, and ccleaner and ran tests with all of them but nothing came up. i also tested to see if my nintendo wii could access the internet via the internet cord and it worked, so i know its a prob w/ the comp.

rite now im forced to use some random person's wireless connectional to get on internet but i don't have good reception, so i can't even play halo pc or nothing.

please help! i don't know what else to do!

Answer 1

The IP address may be 'stuck' in your network settings. Try disabling your firewall and virus software, shutting down everything, and restarting.

I had this problem yesterday, and this was the only thing that fixed it.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

You might have a Problem with getting DHCP, so first restart your modem and try to connect again. Try to connect to the modem (seeing if you have connection to the modem) by typing in the IP Adress of your modem (see manuals), normally 192.168.1.1. If that doesn't work, than the connection to your modem fails (get a new modem from a neighbour and see if it works with that modem, if it works, get new modem), else the connection from your modem to your provider fails (get a new modem).
