Old Laptop Not Connecting To The Internet?
Jun 7, 2012
I have my friend's older computer here that's still running Windows 98 and it won't connect wirelessly to my home internet. It's been so long since I've dealt with 98 that I barely remember how to navigate the system so there isn't much I was able to do in trying to fix the problem myself.It's an HP compaq tc 4200, it's connected to my home internet before so all the information for the connection is there, it simply refuses to cooperate all of a sudden.

We have 2 PCs connected to a ADSL modem router (which has 4 ports) to share files and internet connection. Unfortunately there is no IP address assigned to both the PCs. When i tried to assign the PC it gets disconnected from Internet.The problem is : i want to access the PCs through internet from a Laptop. When I ping the Public IP of that lan network, it works. But when i use the Remote Desktop to connect to the PC or when i use the DOS command NET USE x: \IPaddressharename /USER:username password - It doesn't work. In DOS prompt error 1231 or Network path not found error occurs.I followed the instruction to configure Remote Access like disabling firewall, no installation of any firewall software, My computer -> properties -> remote -> allow users to connect remotely this computer.

My laptop ( A Samsung NP550P5C-S02AU running windows 7 home premium) is not connecting to the modem (which is a D-link DSL-2740B-F1) For the past few weeks I have been able to fix this by resetting the modem/restarting the laptop and I also did a full restore on the laptop as well as completely reset the modem and updated the firmware. I've also tried two different wireless security settings, WPA and WPA2 neither of which have fixed the problem (though surprisingly it did work for a few days when changing over to to WPA). For the past couple of days the laptop has not been able to connect to the internet apart from a few times where the connection lasted 2-5 minutes. We have multiple computers and portable devices in the house all of which don't seem to have any issue connecting to the internet.

For some reason the laptop my friend brought over is not connecting to the internet and has had a problem connecting to the internet for awhile apparently. At first i thought it was just because his mom accidently hit the hotkey to turn off the wifi so i turned it back on and it still will not connect to the internet. The Mac and the PC i am using to write in this forum work just fine as well as the xbox.

I have a problem with my HP550 laptop. I've installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 yesterday (previously I used x32), and everything went fine but whenever I connect my computer to the internet (through wireless connection), I can't move a thing. The computer stuck and everything is very, very slow. I can't open any folder, the taskbar doesn't work too. I think I've installed all the drivers needed. cannot connect to internet also.

My laptop will not connect to the internet. We are using a wireless router and have never had a problem before, it works if you plug the ethernet into it but otherwise it says no network available.

My laptop (Windows 7) has problems connecting the the wireless network at my school. I can connect fine at home.When I get to school, my laptop picks up the internet - there is internet connection/wireless. But I cannot access the internet after I open the web browser. As a school policy, as soon as the browser is open, it is directed automatically to a "Web Authentication" page. But my laptop does not allow it to connect to that page.
I asked the IT technician at school and he said that there is a problem with the DNS connecting automatically. He changed the settings to do so, but when he opens the network protocol again, the DNS is changed back to a preferred DNS number and it will not allow me to automatically pick up the DNS when I am at school. (Once again, it works fine at home).

Just got an HDTV, has a load of fancy internet stuff, but only has a wired connection and I can't put my router in this room, and would rather not have to run a wire up from downstairs.
I'm guessing there is a way of connecting to the wireless on my laptop in this room, connect the laptop to the tv via an ethernet cabe, and bridge the connections or something so that my tv gets the internet from the laptop. That's gotta be possible, no? When I try it tho, the connections bridge, but the tv says "Gateway is not connected, gateway address wrong or unavailable". Using auto IP.

Whenever i connect a particular acer laptop to the internet at work via the wireless, internet access is lost after a period that ranges from 30 minutes to 1 hour and i have to reboot the VSAT modem to restore internet connectivity. This cycle of rebooting the vsat modem to restore internet access goes on and on until the problematic laptop is powered off.Initially i thought the problem was with the modem since i always had to restart it, but i noticed that if i didnt take that laptop to work, internet access stayed up the whole day.The acer laptop is enabled for DHCP and connects to a cisco wireless acess point that is connected to a cisco 2960 series switch which is in turn connected to the VSAT modem.

I have a compaq laptop running Vista. We recently had our Uverse wireless router/modem replaced. Now my laptop will not connect to the internet. The laptop connects to the router but shows up as local connection only. Uverse tried all kinds of differant things to no avail. The laptop will hookup with a USB modem but I would like to get it back to how it was before.

I'm an experienced user with pcs but an absolute newbie with networking, so apologies if this is in the wrong section. I've moved into a new house that has a wireless widi (sp?) that my flatmate uses to play videos from his laptop on the tv. I asked if he still has the software he installed when he got it but he doesn't, and the software i've tried installing from searching the web hasn't worked. What should i do?

We have just got a new netgear router. Our Desktop PC , mobile phones, playstation all connect to it wirelessly with no problem. But although this Samsung Laptop shows as been connected to the new router it wont access the internet. I am using an ethernet cable at the moment. The laptop worked fine with the previous router which was also a netgear.

This is a problem i had after i reinstalled windows vista on my laptop. I recently reinstalled windows vista onto a laptop. The laptop is unable to find the router. I checked the drivers, and i am not sure if im missing any. There is a yellow mark on my network controller, but there is no description or details for it. The internet works while connected to an etherent cable directly to my router. I went to the manufacture website (dell), and downloaded/updated the drivers. I ran PC diagnostics and the wireless still doesn't work.

Today I took out my old HP zd8228ea and tried to fix it. I inserted the XP home cd and got it running. Now I'm trying to get it on my wi-fi connection. Im pretty sure it has a wi-fi chip, though im not sure how to tell. And under my connections, it doesnt show wireless connection.
