I have a wireless internet receiver built in to my laptop that picks up internet from my router. The box at the bottom says I am connected excelently and is sending and receiving packets but internet and msn and anything like that is not working. My stepdad has a laptop and his connects with it fine. I also have an internet dongle that connects to sattelite instead of router and that works fine on my laptop but costs 3 times as much. One day the internet was working fine I shut it down and stuff, Then the next day I rebooted and it didn't work.
Please help.

To get help with this issue the admins will require you run an ip config. click Start>Run and type cmd then hit enter. in the command prompt type ipconfig /all then post the full log here (just copy and paste).

Need...more...info...gasp :P
Operating system / antivirus & antispyware protection / service packs installed / when did it start happening / did it ever work right / installed any new software?
The "signal" you're getting is the connection to the router, not the Internet.

Turn off computer. Disconnect router, and modem from power source for 30 seconds.
Power them back on.
Restart computer.
If that doesn't work, bypass router, and connect computer straight to the modem.
If that doesn't work...
Go Start>Run (Start search in Vista), type in:
cmd
Click OK (in Vista, while holding CTRL, and SHIFT, press Enter).
In Command Prompt window, type in following commands, and hit Enter after each one:
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
Restart computer.
If that doesn't work...
Go Start>Run (Start search in Vista), type in:
cmd
Click OK (in Vista, while holding CTRL, and SHIFT, press Enter).
At Command Prompt, type in:
netsh int ip reset reset.log
Hit Enter.
Type in:
netsh winsock reset catalog
Hit Enter.
Restart computer.
If that doesn't work...
Download, install, and run WinSockFix: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Network-Tweak/WinSockFix.shtml
Restart computer, and check again.

hi. i think i ahve the sam problem as this guy...:)
and i tried everything on the cmd prompt for my laptop, and i tried to install and run the said program - winsockfix but nothing helped. btw, the messengers (yahoo and msn are allw orking. it's just the internet explorer....) i am conencted to the wifi /internet)
i think it's just a waste of space if i started a new topic right away without asking for permission.

I don't know how it works in your country, but in our country nothing works without: IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, preferred DNS server, Alternate DNS server.
Without this to us works only ADSL connection.
Cheers.

how did you post without connecting to the internet?

i used a different computer

i used a different computer
exactly. Download winsockfix from a different computer and use removable media (floppy, USB drive, CD-Recordable, etc) to transfer it to the computer that needs it.

Ahh! Thanks so much, Broni :D

For what? ;D

1) In the future please start a new thread with any questions you may have
2) Open the command prompt as administrator (right-click on the command window shortcut and "run as admin") and try again.

Broni,
I guess I couldn't let the thread die.
I tried the ipconfig commands. I tried the winsock fix.
The problem happened after I denied or allowed a change that popped up from spybot.
It happens even when hard wired to the router in addition to wireless.
IE diagnostic said to check firewall ports for ftp, http and https. I'm not positive but I think those are fine.
Any next steps?
-
Did you try system restore to day from before Spybot action?
-
do you mean system restore or spybot recovery tool?
-
I tried a system restore to 4/28 and also 4/26. Both came back...restoration incomplete....your computer cannoyt be retored to 4/28...no changes have been made made to your computer.
I turned spybot tea timer off and tried to restore to 4/28..same result.
-
Did you go through ALL steps listed in my reply #4?
-
Yes. I repeated all this morning, in order, after a power down and clean boot of cable modem and computer. I connected directly to the cable modem. Every command appeared to work.

Hi Broni.
Thank you for your help. I believe I am up again.
I was looking into the 12029 code. I found a couple items. The first thing was someting in the task list. kservices.exe I believe that was the drive by that triggered everything. I think I stopped it the other day before it fully installed. At any rate, I stopped the service and disabled the startup. I couldn't find any registry files for it...so I guess its possible this isn't over yet....I deleted the folder and file it has set up.
It had alos apparently set up a proxy server. I went into LAN settings (tools/internet options/connections/lan settings). I unclicked the proxy, I changed it to auto detect and was able to connect. I ran ccleaner, rebooted and everything seems normal.
I am going to install avast in place of avg free 9.0...so I can check for rootkit baddies.
I really appreacite your help and patience. Your site looks good as well...adding to my favorites.

I'm glad to see you back up and running :)
kservices.exe - darn Kontiki
To remove it completely...
Go Start>Control Panel>Add\Remove ("Programs and Features" in Vista), and uninstall Sky Anytime (if present).
Download, and run KClean.exe: http://static.sky.com/kclean/KClean.exe to remove Kontiki from your computer.
NOTE: Kontiki is a known resource hog.

Thanks for the follow-up.

Again, thank you and I hope there will be more people like you who would be kind enough to share their expertise to those who need it. Cheers from Manila, Philippines!!!
