    Internet help
    « on: August 19, 2010, 11:15:18 AM »
    My desktop computer (Windows XP) refuses to connect to the internet via Wi-Fi, but it says its connected to the router. Any suggestions? I cant connect it by Ethernet cord since the internet box is in my room now. I am posting from my laptop (VISTA).

        I don't understand this:

        I cant connect it by Ethernet cord since the internet box is in my room now.

        Then...
        Quote
        refuses to connect
        What are the symptoms? Web pages won't display?
        If so, what browser? Tried different browser?

          Since the router is in my room now, the desktop can't connect to the router by ethernet cord since the desktop is in a different room. I have tried Firefox, Google chrome, and Internet Explorer all failed. This is the first time that my desktop is using Wi-Fi. In the image included in the OP show that my desktop is connected to my router wirelessly via USB wifi card, but it says it is not connected to the internet. Meanwhile I can surf the web with my laptop. Sorry for the wall of text.

          1. Click Start>Run (Start>"Start search" in Vista).

          2. Type in (or copy and paste):

                    cmd /c ping google.com>%temp%\$.$&notepad %temp%\$.$

                and press Enter.

          3. Notepad will open.

          4. Copy all text in Notepad ([Ctrl-A], then [Ctrl-C]), and then post it (paste = [Ctrl-V]) in your next reply.

          ============================================================================

          Go Start>Run ("Start search" in Vista), type in:
          cmd
          Click OK (hit Enter in Vista).

          At Command Prompt, paste this:
          ipconfig/all>c:\ipconfig_all.txt&notepad c:\ipconfig_all.txt&exit
          Hit Enter.

          Copy and paste what you see in Notepad into a Reply here.

            Luckily, we've been resting on a Hawaiian beach lately, so we have plenty of time  ::)

            In any case, I asked for two logs and, what I got is one log.
