1394 net adapter problem

Not open for further replies.
I have got an acer laptop with wireless connection. I have an Edimax wireless router to enable internet connection. I haven't had any problems with the connection until now. Although the wireless LAN card says it is receiving and transmitting I am unable to surf the net although I can use p2p software no problem. On the 1394 net adapter it says connected although it is not sending or receiving any information. I belive that my settings are correct as i have an IP address of 192.168.1.3, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, default gateway 192.168.1.1, DHCP and DNS 192.168.1.1.

Any ideas as to whats suddenly affected my laptop ?

Thanks

what did you change? you suggest it WAS working and is now failing.
did you update MS security recently (eg SP2)?
 
Your DNS should be one provided by your ISP. Not your router IP address. That could explain why p2p works, but not webpages. Either contact your ISP and enter a number they give you, or have it obtain them automatically.

most routers will 'port forward' everything coming from the downstream connections. Port forwaring #53 is an obvious necessity, as routers don't have internal DNS capability. Or maybe I'm just lucky with my Netgear.
 
I haven't updated the SP2, well not as far as I am aware, unless it has done it without me knowing, I have now changed the DNS to the one supplied by my IP. I saw another thread talking about possible Firewall issues but no Firewall settings have been changed from when it was working before.

I am now connected using a normal modem and have to disconnect to see whether any chnages have been made to the problem.

I will get back with any updates to my problem, thanks all

use your Device Manager to find the Network Adapters. You should see the
type of devices and NO yellow or red marks on the icons which would indicate
bad settings or missing drivers.

use this set of instructions to debug the intruder
