Cannot Connect To Internet After Windows Reformat
Mar 22, 2011
So today I went to my grandparents house, so I could reformat their computer that had crashed due to a virus. Their computer is a Dell Dimension 2400. I was able to download the video and audio drivers from the disk Dell gave them onto their computer, but cannot connect to the internet. I went into the network connections, nothing was there. Then i went into devices and saw the yellow exclamation mark by the ethernet device.

just reformatted my bros laptop the other day and reinstalled windows xp home, he bought the computer off of a friends so he doesnt have any of the driver discs or anything else that came with it, after reinstalling windows, I couldn't connect to the internet with it so i went to the hp site to get the network drivers for his laptop and installed them via a disc i put them on from a computer that does have internet access working, so now its saying its wireless is connected but when i try to access internet explorer it asks me if i want to work offline saying there is no connection. In network connections there is no local area network, and in device manager for network theres only 2 under it 1394 net adapter and Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN, there are other devices with ? and ! attached to them, im not sure if they have to do with the problem or not just trying to get the internet working on his laptop so he can download the rest of his drivers/updates then but the other devices with ! or ? are: base system device x3, coprocessor, other PCI bridge device, PCI bridge device x2, SM bus controller, Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller, Unknown devicex2, USB device, Video Controller (VGA Compatible)[CODE]

I had to reformat a Dell Latitude D830 with XP Pro SP2 due to a trojan. After XP was reinstalled, I inserted the cds which contain the drivers and such for my system. I installed the drivers and utilities, but for some reason when I plug my ethernet cable into the laptop, it says there is "Little or No Connectivity". I plugged the same ethernet cord into the desktop I am currently using, and it works just fine. The connection comes straight from the wall to the computer with no router or modem involved.

I have the same machine, same problems. After a reformat, WindowsXP would not reload drivers (from the OEM software provided by DELL). I reinstalled (in order) with a fair amount of difficulty got them all to load EXCEPT for the network adapter. I've download the adapter software AND driver; still no luck. Still working on this bugaboo. Incidentally, what saved me with the other drivers (yellow question marks on Base System Device controller, ethernet, PCI, SM Bus, etc) is that I had run a Belarc Advisor utility printout prior to the reformat. So now I at least had something to compare the before and after reformat with.

I reformatted my father's laptop, upgrading the OS from Vista to Windows 7 but now the wireless network adapter isn't working. Basically, the laptop doesn't know that it has wireless. In device manager there is an exclamation mark against the "Atheros AR5007UG Wireless Network Adapter" entry. I've tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling it, restarting the computer, updating the driver etc but it always fails to install the driver correctly. I don't know for sure the model of the network adapter, (windows tells me it's atheros but I'm not convinced seeing as the driver always fails to install) so I can't go to the manufacturer's website to download the latest drivers. I opened up the laptop but couldn't see any brand names on the network card. I don't have the cd's with the drivers on them.

I have an Acer Aspire one that connected perfectly to the internet until I did a reformat. Now it only works if through a wired connection or if the internet does not have a password protection. I have tried on 2 different locations with secure wireless and both have the same result. Packets are sent but not received. All other devices in either location are able to connect to internet through wired or wireless connections.IP address is at 192.xxx and DHCP is enabled, TCP/IP is set to obtain automatically and I deleted and downloaded the newest drivers from the Acer website twice. I also did a winsock reset and tried to clear the arp cache? One of the issues I am getting when I run the diagnostic is "warn default gateway address could not be resolved via arp". I'm not sure how to resolve that.

I recently had to reformat, and I tried to re-install my E1000 Wireless N router from the CD. Even after entering my network name and password, it said it was unable to connect to my network. My internet works fine - I just can't make my computer in control of it again. I have several devices connected wirelessly, including an Ipad, and they all get internet fine. how to get the program installed so I can change settings again?

I have a 2600 router i intend to use as an access server. I doesn't have an IOS so i downloaded via tftp. I should see the file at Dir flash:, but all i get are these error
rommon 1 > dir flash:
File size Check sum File name lseek out of bounds getdirent: lseek error rommon 2 >
And if i tried to download again the file, its failing because it seems that there aren't any space available in my flash. Here is the mem info.
rommon 2 > meminfo
Main memory size: 64 MB.
Available main memory starts at 0x10000, size 65472KB
IO (packet) memory size: 0 percent of main memory.
[code]...
Here's what i think. The first file download could be corrupted and it eats up the space on my flash. My question is how can I reformat the flash so that I can re download the IOS? And if in case that fails also, any other way i can recover this machine.

I have Inspiron 1525 with Marvell Yukon 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller. After reformat, the network will not detect wireless modem after I think I have downloaded all pertinent drivers. In Device Manager, under Other Devices, The Network Controller shows an exclamation mark that under Device Status says, "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28) To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver." I have turned on the button on the left of the laptop and still missing something.Prior to the reformat everything was working well. I had the Blue Screen of death andthat's the reason for the reformat.

I have a Dell XPS 8300 desktop. The desktop recently got a virus which caused me to completely reformat the computer. I thought the PC came with a drivers CD but either it did not or I cannot find one. Now that I installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 it will not connect to the internet. I have tried downloading all network drivers, bios drivers and making sure BIOS is enabled but still I am unable to connect to the internet.
What can I do to fix this problem or is there any place that I can purchase the actual drivers CD for my PC so that this does not happen again? I have gone to the drivers and downloads page, put my tag number in and literally downloaded every single driver listed and still it is giving me the "no connection detected" error.

I have a spare PC, monitor, mouse, keyboard etc I said he can use that instead as I don't really need it now I have my Windows 7 machine.So I formatted XP on my spare machine to start afresh, purchased a cable to run from the router to the spare pc (which is connected to the modem) and the other cable runs from the router to my PC, hence I can type this. Since I can get online it isn't an ISP/router/modem issue, so that's clear.When I installed XP on my now spare PC I did have to fiddle to get the internet working?The PC motherboard is an HP Compaq d230 MT, and the steps I have taken is:From this website [URL]
1. Installed Chipset driver
2. Installed Broadcam Network driver
3. Installed Gigabit Network driver
4. Installed 56k win driver (wasn't sure if it's needed though)
5. re-started PC
It still doesn't work, and under device manager, the Ethernet Controller has a yellow question mark. Opening it up, it says there is no driver installed and says (code 28)

I cannot get my computer to connect to the internet including, but not limited to system restoring to an earlier restore point prior to developing the problem. Doing a system recovery which basically reset everything to manufacturers (except the internet connection). Following several sets of directions which seemed like they might apply to me including manually entering the ip info into my LAN.The latest attempt was to try to "reset my winsock catalogue" with: netsh int ip reset catalog command in cmd. This resulted in a list of errors stating that the commands had to be Run as an administrator. As I am logged in as administrator on the computer, I'm not sure how to rectify this latest little bit of folly.

I am running an HP pavilion slimline s5610y with Windows 7 installed. It is connecte to a Netgear wireless router via an Ethernet port. I do get wireless to my laptop which I am using to report this issue.In network connections it does recognize my network, but when trying to connect to the internet tries to dial up a connection. I have downloaded and reinstalled the network adapter drivers for the modem (realtek pcie fe family controller) with no luck.I have restored the computer to prior windows updates and have not had any luck.I see that you like to have a hijackthis log. I did download the software from the laptop and try to install via a usb drive, but it stated that an internet connection was required.

Basically my desktop computer no longer connects to the internet, and I'll try to describe the problem to you all to the best of my ability.I ran ipconfig /all and it is attached.The problem first started a few weeks back and I haven't been able to get around to it due to school. When trying to connect to my router it will connect with limited connectivity (in other words, at the bottom right of the screen when you check the SSID you're connected to, it will show the signal strength, but it also has a yellow exclamation mark indicating it has no connectivity. When I ran the built-in troubleshooter on it, I received multiple things:
- sometimes: "windows could not automatically detect this network proxy settings"
- sometimes: "no errors detected"
Of course I would've done a system restore long ago,however initially I thought the problem was the adapter so I kept re-installing the drivers, I even went to buy other network adapters to make sure my adapter wasn't the one that was defective (I have an ASUS adapter, the other adapters I've tried were D-Link, and Netgear which is also the brand of my router which is very old). Because of all these installs/uninstalls, the old system restores I had were gone. I have Windows 7 64 bit, I'm using wireless connectivity and cannot try ethernet cable due to the immobility of my desktop and problems it would generate around the house. I've attempted to change the IP address of my network properties of ivp4 to defaults, change the DNS server, check my DHCP, check my services, check my registry, and many other things found on the internet (including resetting with netsh)

So my Dad got a new Windows 7 computer, and gave me his old windows vista. When we got his computer all hooked up, and hooked up the windows Vista next to it. My mom wanted to use it to check her email. she didnt download anything, but after she turned it off, and i turned it back on, the computer would not detect any type of internet activity. i put in a new ethernet card, and it still would not work. The sound on the computer has also stopped working. i checked windows audio service, and it says its running, and there is no detected problem with any of the hardware.

I thought that all my problems would be solved when I recently bought the Belkin Play router with dd-wrt 24 sp2 (build 18050M) firmware. It was only a partial success.
My situation is the following: a neighbor on the other side of the street has wifi, which he is willing to share. But it barely reaches my house. So I thought I would solve the problem by installing my Belkin Play as a repeater bridge, so I could connect my PC to it by cable while also connecting my mobile devices.

For some inexplicable reason my router connected for a while but then, seemingly for no reason, disconnected. I wanted to figure out why that was and tried setting my PC's IP address to 192.168.1.5. This way I was able to connect to my router but still unable to connect to the internet. Interestingly enough, when I take my laptop close to the window, I can connect to the original network with internet access.

For the past month or two I have been having some problems connecting to the internet on my computer of 6 years everything works fine its running windows 7 and I have no problems but now every time I turn my computer on the first application to connect to the internet is the only one that can connect. If I open a browser it connects but nothing else will and if I close it I have to restart in order to get a connection again.

I bought an ASUS P8Z77-V motherboard, an i5 3570K and a Corsair Vengeance 4GB card a month ago. I built it with a Radeon HD 5670 graphic card, CoolerMaster 500W, a Sony lightscribe DVDRW unit and an old HD 500GB. The PSUs fan stopped working 3 weeks ago and I didnt notice this. While playing games the computer shut down, and I quickly opened the case. The PSU was hot and I could smell burned plastic. A week after I randomly tried to start the computer and guess what!? IT WORKS! Then I realised that only the fan was broken. I took the PSU and fan appart and lubricated the fan. It spins like a charm but I think I lost a piece of it and now its loud as hell but it works. I thougt this story might have something to do with the issue.
THE ISSUE: My internet has been working like a charm untill a week ago. A week ago the LAN or wired connection stopped working. I had to disable LAN adapter in BIOS else it would try to connect forever and I couldnt disable it in Windows. I didnt bother to solve it since my motherboard has a Wireless adaptor, so I just connected wirelessly. Today the wireless stopped working. I figured out that I might have goten a virus? I formated the disk and reinstalled WIN7 x64. I install the drivers, and the wireless and LAN still dont work. I reinstall WIN7 once again. Still nothing. I remember that I have to set the IP adress myself. So I go to Wireless adptor - preferences - IPV4 - type the stuff in, and when trying to close the window it freezes. After closing it in task manager a message "An unexpected error has occured" appears. I have to close Explorer.exe too and then after 2 attempts I get to close the window and save normally, but still no connection.

have a problem with connecting to my cable internet modem with my windows xp machine. My windows vista computer automatically connects as soon as you connect it to the modem but the windows xp machine gives the "limited or no connectivity" error when I try to connect. What could be causing it to work with vista and not xp? what can I try to make it work?

I've got an older HP desktop that's running on Windows XP SP3 in my living room and it's all of a sudden not connecting to the internet. I know the problem isn't with the router or internet connection themselves, as my laptop works perfectly fine. I've tried resetting the TCP/IP, resetting the modem, and resetting the WINSOCK entries. Also, here is the IP configuration screen:
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

This morning, I tried using the computer and I wasn't able to connect to the Internet. The wireless icon on the bottom had either 1 bar, a caution sign with an exclamation point, or some sun icon. Either way, I could not get to my websites. I don't know why my computer cannot connect to the Internet because my iPad can connect perfectly well as I'm on it right now posting this thread. This is the first time it has happened. A few weeks ago my Internet started getting slower and slower. When it was usually an average of 3 bars, it went down to 2 and stayed that way. I was still able to get to my websites back then however the change in speed was noticeable. Now, it is neither 2 bars nor 3 but 0. y computer because my desktop is upstairs whereas my router is downstairs. With all the cables and such I would just end up messing it up or something. What could I do to fix this problem, it's been like this all day. Is it possible a virus is causing this problem?
