Able to connect to wireless network but not to Internet

Status
Not open for further replies.
I'm trying to help a friend out with connecting from a wireless router. Thought it would be an easy fix--but not what I expected.

Problem is not getting to the internet. I've tried plugging a wired connection and wireless but no internet. "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" and when I click on Diagnose Connection Problems - "Windows found a problem that cannot be repaired automatically"
It has worked before but not recently. I've updated the wireless card software, ran anti-spyware/antivirus programs, ran winsockfix but nothing works.

It's a vista Home Premium O/S-32 bit, HP Pavillion 6000,

So if you guys can provide some info, I'd greatly appreciate it. Here is the IPconfig and ping information. Also, when I do nslookups I do get data returned.

sorry to say i cant help you, all i can say is that i had the exact problem with my sister's Vista PC and after about 5 hours i gave up and did a restore, no amount of googling helped at all.

Hope someone can help you mate
 
Those 6000 series had major fails first with wireless internet connections due to mini LAN cards dying and then with their system boards. It most likely is a system board issue. I have a thread in the Notebook section trying to deal with my daughter's Compaq Presario 6000 model with wireless connection issues.

See if anything in that thread speaks to your situation. Strange though that a wireless adapter didn't bypass.
 
A simple thing to check is the IExplore settings. Internet properties - Connections Tab - Lan Settings - Make sure both boxes in the proxy settings are NOT checked. Give it a shot...I've been seeing a lot of viruses set IE settings to this thus not allowing you to get out on the internet even though you can connect to your network. Good luck!
 
Ignore IE for a second...If wireless is connected, do you have a globe in the network icon in the taskbar.

Click start > search box > cmd.exe and enter

CMD will open up, and then type the following:

Code:
ping [url]www.techspot.com[/url]

Does the site reply back, or time out?
 
@Gr33n808: Great report and you are right on track
ping by name is failing so you reverted to pinging the DNS which is responding.

INVESTIGATE your firewall for port 53; needs to ALLOW tcp/upd in/out to/from ANY ip address.

move that rule to the top of the rule stack
