My computer's internet isn't working (I'm on a laptop right now)

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 06.15.2007, 01:34 AM

My cable modem is fine, my router is fine, my computer is sending and recieving packets on the network connection, it detects when the network cable is unplugged. But I can't access any websites, log into AIM, et cetera.

I've tried everything I can think of- reboots, resetting the modem and the router (which are working fine- my phone is hooked up VIA CAT5 from the router and it is working, and this computer is on the router's wireless)

I can type in my routers address and it will ask me for a password, when I give it though, it goes on loading until it times out.

This is really frustrating me. It absolutely kills me when I can't solve a problem with a computer or piece of electronics.

It seems to me like it is a software issue. Any ideas?

It could have something to do with your Proxy.

My hudsucker proxy?

I know what you mean.

I've been playing around and doing different settings. Nothing is seeming to work.

Whenever I phone our IT dept at work, they always say, Have you ried turning the compuer off and on again?

YES, OF COURSE I FUCKING HAVE!

If that doesn't work, give it a swift slap with the palm of your hand.

My internet just goes idle from time to time.

i'd turn off the router and unplug all it's cables, then turn it on and plug again.

i've had problems like this. check the network options on yr pc. are the IPs and the rest of the stuff (DNS etc) set up correctly?
