Ok when ever I go to my dads house my Laptop connects to our wireless internet there instantly but when I come to my moms I only have Local Access so it wont let me get on the internet...my laptop is only about 2 months old and when I first got it it would connect just fine but now its not and when I click diagnose and repair it says that my laptop cant connect to the Primary DNS server but the internet works fine on this desktop with wireless and the wired desktop is fine too its just my laptop that wont connect all the way. PLEASE HELP!

My laptop has Local only access so i cant use the internet and when i click diagnose and repair it says "Cannot communicate with Primary DNS Server(129.250.35.250) It gives me the option to "Reset the network adapter "Wireless Network Connection"" but when i do this is just says the exact same thing so it never fixes anything can someone please tell me how to fix this so I can get back on the internet and talk to my family thanks.

Disable encryption and MAC Address filtering on the router and try to connect. Assuming success you can probably re-enable encryption and reconnect. If failure please show ...

Start, Run, CMD, OK to open a command prompt:
(For Vista or 7 type CMD in the Search box after Start)

Type the following command:

IPCONFIG /ALL

[Note that there is no space between the slash and ALL.]

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

If necessary use a text file and removable media to copy the results to a computer with internet access.

Hi:Let's see an ipconfig first.and ping results
See if you can ping
From a Johnwill post on the Networking Forum

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 the following commands one at a time, followed by the Enter key:

IPCONFIG /ALL

PING <computer_IP_address> For addresses,follow instructions below….

PING <default_gateway_address>

PING <dns_servers>

PING 206.190.60.37

PING www.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. IPV4 for Vista

<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.

If I wanted to see an ipconfig /all for a PC that actually works I could look at my own.

To help you we need to see the patient, er, the computer with the problem. For some problems we also ask to see a working computer, but probably do not need to in this case.
