I have a Toshiba Satellite A664 that has been operating for about a year without issues; It was purchased last year.

A few days ago around 11:30pm I was online filling out employment applications, and boom, everything halted and I was disconnected from the internet. In my apartment I have two other computers that work fine and are connected without any problems. I went throught the whole shutdown, restart and reset of the cable modem and router. I've ran my norton virus scan and spybot which only found cookies.

When I boot in normal mode I have conectivity but no internet access; when I boot in safemode I do not have any issues (I'm posting this in safemode) so can someone help?

[mtcolumbo]

the ipconfig/all is from the safemode boot

[pedroguy]

In normal mode,may we see:


Try these simple tests.

Hold the Windows key and press R, then type CMD (COMMAND for W98/WME) to open a command prompt:

In the command prompt window that opens, type type the following commands one at a time, followed by the Enter key:

NOTE: For the items below surrounded with < >, see comments below for the actual information content, they are value substitutions from the previous IPCONFIG command output! Do NOT type <computer_IP_address> into the command, that won't work. Also, the < and > in the text is to identify the parameters, they are also NOT used in the actual commands.

Do NOT include the <> either, they're just to identify the values for substitution.

IPCONFIG /ALL

PING <computer_IP_address>

PING <default_gateway_address>

PING <dns_servers>

PING 8.8.8.8

PING yahoo.com

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter to copy the contents to the clipboard.
Paste the results in a message here.

<computer_IP_address> - The IP Address of your computer, obtained from the IPCONFIG command above. (For Vista/Win7, the IPv4 Address)

<default_gateway_address> - The IP address of the Default Gateway, obtained from the IPCONFIG command above.

<dns_servers> - The IP address of the first (or only) address for DNS Servers, obtained from the IPCONFIG command above.

If you are on a machine with no network connection, use a floppy, USB disk, or a CD-RW disk to transfer a text file with the information to allow pasting it here.



Have you tried a system restore prior to the failure ?

[mtcolumbo]

Thanks for getting back to me... I've tried system restore a few times; it work the first time but still no internet access, then when I tried 2 other times the computer crashed (Blue Screen) so I stopped preforming that function.

Here are the results of "Normal Mode" ipconfig/all

Puzzling.
Try this.Generally,but not always,a failure to ping is a firewall issue
Disable all firewalls,including your antivirus suite.
See if that helps on the pings.

[mtcolumbo]

Ok I turned off my Norton Security Suite Firewall... and I connected right away. But this doesn't make sence, I've operated this machine with the Norton Firewall for a year without any problems... Here are the pings...

Yep.A lot of things sometimes do not make sense with Norton.
Since I do not have Norton,I can only suggest two things.
If you have a user's guide,take a look at the firewall settings and perhaps reset to default.
Or
Hopefully you have an install disc or a downloaded install package.
I would use the Norton removal tool from this link to uninstall it.
http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_...834EN&ln=en_US

Then if you want to re-install,go for it.
And FYI,the reason it probably worked in safe mode,is that the Norton function was not enabled in safe mode.

[mtcolumbo]

Ok - I went ahead and reset the firewall to the default option, and it's up and working great. Thank you so much for your help! Greatly appreciated!

Michael

Glad I could help.Thanks for the feedback
