RDR Dreg Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 ...but this is just confusing! Well my internet dose not work after in downgraded my msn version to tweak it. Well i guess i must of downloaded a virus or something like that. This is what is going on 1)I can connect to my router with full conectivity 2)No packets are comming through And that is it but this is what I have tried so far to fix the problem. 1)Reconfiguration my connection settings firewall and all that 2)Setup a new wireless connection so it is defulted but still no internet comes through 3)Tried system restore 4)Tried AVG anti virus and a few spywarte scans 5)Starting up in safemode I dont know what elce to do, I do not want to reformat...i never have and the chances are i will never need to. I know you guys are all experianced in fixing problems like this because they happen so often with noobs like me comming on trying to fix it Thank you!

armadaender Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I believe you're jumping to conlcusions far too soon. First I would get rid of the new connections you created and simply do a hard-reset on your router. (This is usually done by pressing a small button on the back of the router). Once resetted, connect to your router (open FF/IE and type in 192.168.0.1 or whatever your router's default IP is) and follow the router's instructions on how to set it up correctly. Once complete let us know if you're still having problems. In the hundreds of times I've had to mess with people's routers because "their internet wasn't working". That's all I've had to do for 95% of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDR Dreg Posted September 23, 2006 Author Share Posted September 23, 2006 Well I have done reset my router many times...pulled out all the cables and all that aswell. I have even switched to another router completley. So i realy dont think it is the router that is the problem. Thanks, any more suggestions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 What makes you so certain that it's your machine that's misbehaving? Maybe the router died? Maybe your ISP's pipes have gotten full? Maybe some admin somewhere is having a bad hair day? And any of those situations just happens to coincide with you downgrading MSN (and just so you know, if you really feel that was the cause of it, maybe it would be a good idea to go back to the previous version again).

sentinel Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 If you're connecting wirelessly and you have a 'key' or 'passphrase' you use to connect (WEP or WPA). Then double check that you have it correct. Then, even if you're sure it's correct, put it in windows again. (in the properties of the connection). Sometimes windows will 'connect' but not actually be connected and that seems to fix it? What brand/model of router(s) are you using? I would also suggest that you temporarily disable/remove any firewalls you have (windows or other software). Just to simplify the whole picture and rule them out.

armadaender Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 In some routers you must 'set-up' the router before you're able to connect and use it. This is may sound redundant but have you followed the instructions for the particular router in setting up the cennection. If you havn't then that's why it wouldn't be working.

RDR Dreg Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 There is no firewall currentley on at the moment but i broke it more by turning off windows automatic connection and I forgot the defult gateway IP's and all that.

Yourmysin Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Call your ISP and they will tell you to open cmd prompt and try pinging your router. Then they will walk you along to configure your internet settings. Same problem happend to me, and it turned out that some how the ISP switched some of my user information therefore i could not connect properly.

Freakish Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Did you mess with your Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) properties? Also try somethings like directly connecting to your modem, or booting up in safe mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Perhaps WinSocks is burning in hell, there is a tool some where on the Internet to help you fix WinSocks, but I forget it's name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
