Ace 0 Posted July 13, 2003 Hi, just today my dial-up connection was working fun but later in the day it wouldn't work. In the morning it worked fun, then I tried it in the afternoon, the connection is established but it won't go anywhere. It can't connect to any websites. I assumed it was just a minor problem and just left it. But I tried it again and nothing again, I also tried my other ISP and that one had the same result. Then I tried it on another computer and it worked. Everything was connecting correctly and it was the same ISP. I go back to my original computer and connection is established but it can't go anywhere. I don't know what's wrong. The only think I installed was MSN 6 but I don't think that did anything because when I first installed it and restarted the computer my connection was still fine. So can anyone help me out? Thanks Share this post Link to post
Silver-Dagger 0 Posted July 14, 2003 Make the connection with the computer again and check your IP, DNS, and default gateway. You can do this by typing 'ipconfig /all' (without the quotes) at a command prompt in 2000/xp or 'winipcfg' in 9x. Make sure you have a valid IP for your ISP, the DNS ip(s) are correct, and the default gateway IP is correct. If all looks right then try to ping a website (like www.google.com) by name. If that fails then try to ping Google by IP (216.239.39.99). If this works then you have a DNS problem. If this failes then you have a default gateway problem. You can try to release the IP you have and renew for a new one. Share this post Link to post
