Very bizarre internet access questionRouter wired to 6 port hub. Toshiba laptop wired to hub running XP Pro
SP2. Desktop wired into hub running XP Pro SP3. The Toshiba has internet access, the desktop does not! How bizarre is that and how do I go about diagnosing WHY the desktop does not have internet access? (The desktop can ping the router OK). There are lots of reasons for that.
1 - Do you have Norton or McAfee products installed? 2 - Have you checked the internet connection properties and are they set up for Dynamic IP? 3 - How many firewalls do you have installed and what are they?

NIC working properly and connected to the network. This is a machine that is not used very frequently and last time it was used, (some weeks ago) the internet connection was working properly. Powered it up this morning and Poof! No internet..... Are you using IE or Firefox? If you are using IE, download and install
firefox to see if it works. If it does then you have a problem with IE. If you want to forgo downloading Firefox you will need to go to Start->Control Panel select Internet Options go to the Advanced Tab then click on the button Reset to reset your browser to the default settings. You browser may have been attacked.

Did you ever have Norton or McAfee products installed? What are you using for AV/Malware Protection? What are you using for Firewall protection. Any other helpful info... Can you go to Start->Run type cmd then at the command prompt type: ipconfig /all > ip.txt then post what is in the txt file? -- Show quoteHide quoteRandem Systems Your Installation Specialist The Top Inno Setup Script Generator http://www.randem.com/innoscript.html Disk Read Error Press Ctl+Alt+Del to Restart http://www.randem.com/discus/messages/9402/9406.html?1236319938 "Gordon" <gordonbpar***@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:eoD3l6h$JHA.3612@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > Randem wrote: >> Are you using IE or Firefox?

PCMCIA Wireless card to access my wireless network which is also routed through this hub. THAT wouldn't connect to the internet either (but I wasn't too fussed about that, because it has funny moments anyway). We then had cause to disconnect the router from the 'phone line as we had a local electrical storm. On re-connecting the router to the phone line, both machines suddenly connected to the internet. Anyone got any thoughts on why that should have happened and what might have caused that? Only these two machines were affected - two other machines on the same network had no internet problems at all! Hi
Routers are actually mini computer with CPU Memory and the firmware acting as OS. Something during the storm partially trashed the setting in the Router memory. When you unplugged, and plugged again it rebooted and load correctly the OS/Firmware.

the desktop directly to the modem, did it have internet access? Gordon wrote: Show quoteHide quote > Router wired to 6 port hub. Toshiba laptop wired to hub running XP Pro > SP2.
