Masterfinn 0 Posted January 24, 2004 HI, I have a computer that is haveing troubles accessing the internet. I have three computers all hooked together through a Linksys router. A friend asked me to take a look at their computer cause it could not get on the internet so I hooked it up through my router like I do with so many machines in the past and sure enough no interent. I have tired the following: - manually setting connection speed - trying different nic - trying another cable - disable/enable internet connection firewall - trying DCHP and static IP's - try to connect directly to internet(no router) - blowing away all network settings and redo them - enableing IPX/SPX and NetBios - enableing Netbeui All these attempts have failed to give me inernet access. I have also took a look in the services, and everything seems to be started which should, and the event veiwer isnt showing any errors. I also checked the hosts file to see if there was any browser highjacking but nothing, i did a scan with ad-aware just to be safe, and with NortonAV. Its weird casue when connected to the router I can see and trasfer files to and from all the other computers. Also when you first get connected the icon the taskbar when double clicked shows many packets sent, but 0 recieved. Thats why im thinking it is indeed something with the computer. Im thinkings its a services thats not working or somehting.. If anyone out there can help me please do.. Thanx, Masterfinn Share this post Link to post
Masterfinn 0 Posted January 24, 2004 I think i have it solved, i downloaded a WinsockXPfix utility, as i know sometimes the winsock goes titsup. So i installed that, and when i rebooted it worked!! i was amazed.. after trying everything else. Well i guess thats the only way you learn right.. Masterfinn Share this post Link to post

Masterfinn That's true. and always satisfying when you solve it yourself. I would like to mention though that Netbeui is non-routable so it wouldn't have done anything for ya anyways. glad to see you got it going. S Share this post Link to post
