I recently was given an old computer from work. I tried to connect it to the internet at home but it wouldn't connect. The icon at the bottom shows that it is connected but the web browser shows that i'm not connected. All the computers at work are connected to a network so there may be some settings that won't allow it to connect at home. I did go on to internet options under connections and changed the default connection from the work network to broadband but still no luck. None of the proxy boxes were checked either. The OS on this computer is Windows XP. Also, all connections to my home internet are fine.
I was recently given a computer from my workplace. I took this computer home, and put it in the place of my old one. The internet connection on my old computer has always been fine; all cables are connected correctly. However, this computer from work will not connect to the internet. The icon in the bottom right corner of the screen states that I am connected, but the internet browser claims that it is unable to display web pages. May the cause of this be related to any unique computer settings that a workplace may have on a computer in their network? Other computers have no problem connecting to the internet through the same, wired connection. The OS is Windows XP Professional.
this is something that's been bugging me for quite a while now.At home I use both a laptop and a PC connected to the network through a wireless router.I get my internet from Comcast and so far am very happy with the speed etc. The router is now 4 years old (Linksys).The thing is that I cannot download certain things at home (no firewalls) but when I take the PC to work,I can download them without a problem.The programs I'm referring to is usually Microsoft related programs (Outlook connector, Silverlight etc...). When I try downloading, it opens a small ie window with an error message, and at the next step it says link is broken.
I have a laptop that I take to work, and would like to set things up to use my home internet connection from elsewhere. I don't have another computer to function as a server for me at home, so would like to do it so that my router alone provides this access (log into it from the internet anywhere and use my internet as if I am using it from home). How would I go about doing this? Would it require installing new firmware?
I have Vista Home premium 32 bit. My connection from the internet has been a frustrating problem. I have to turn my computer off and on several times before my wireless works. It I do a restart on my computer my internet does not work, so I have to totally shut it down and wait then restart and even then it my not work. I always run the repair to repair wireless connection and even that does not work.
I have an old laptop with an old wireless adapter that doesn't support WPA2. I have another laptop that does and is connect to a router. Can I hook up the old one directly to the new one to get on the internet (I want to use both computers at the same time) without connecting the old one directly to the router (because it is in another room)?
How, if possible, do i connect one pc( running on xp) via lan to another pc' internet.(on win7)I can't take off the IP cause my accounting program needs it.
I just bought a DIR-835 Router. the wireless works good-the problem however is the PC I have hooked up to the cable box, now the internet works only occasionally. I have tried disabling the firewall ,etc. The only time I can get the internet on the cable box connected PC to work is when I reset the router. I have a Gateway PC with Windows XP, I use Google Chrome. I assume it must be a Router setting that needs correcting. My previous D-Link router worked fine with the cable connected PC.
Just recently I have one of my computers connected to my router not able to access internet, while all the other ones can. I have a wireless and 2 LAN connection to my router 1 computer from the LAN connection works but I'm having trouble with the other one.When I connect my cable from the modem directly to the my computer internet works fine.I tried resetting Winsock didn't work. Tried changing my cable didn't work. Scanned for any viruses or malware none detected. Also I can ping my router with no problem, but when it comes to pinging google.com or any other website I get the message timed out and get 100% loss. [code]

Sooo, if I connect the same internet cable that's working on the computer to another one it doesen't work. What sholuld I do??, maybe change some settings in the router?

So I have a wireless router downstairs in my house that usually reaches around the whole house. However as of a couple days ago, whenever I am upstairs I only get limited connectivity. It still detects my router, but I an exclamation point and I can't connect to the internet. However when I am downstairs I have a connection that actually works. This applies to multiple laptops, computers, phones, etc.

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.
I have 24 port switch which is already connected to internet through static IP. Now I want to use a router as a wireless device to use internet. How do I connect router to switch?

I just got new roommates and the internet on his computer would only load facebook and google. NOTHING else. It said he has internet connection but it still wouldn't work. I even called my internet provider and they couldn't figure it out. His internet worked perfectly fine when it was on safe mode with networking. I even disabled his firewalls and I ran malewarebytes but found nothing. I thought this was just his computer but then a day later my computer is doing the same thing! my computer has worked perfectly fine for over a year on the same router and everything but now it has the same exact symptoms as his. I don't know if this is a router issue or not. .
It is a wireless connection, internet provider is cable one, and my router/modem is a Zoom DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem/Router with wireless -N

After a power failure nothing could connect to the internet anymore. I called MTS (ISP provider) and they had me change some setup on my PC. Now my PC connects to the internet, but nothing else will connect (X Box, WII, iPods, Laptop). They were connected wireless before the power outage through my router. MTS said they are only responsible for ensuring their model works, not routers.I have checked some router settings. It is set for DHCP with 50 users.
