can connect to internet tho connexted to router

Computer Dell Inspiron 1720
O/S: Vista Home Premium
fitted with Dell Wireless 1395 WLAN card


Router Netgear DG834G

if I do IPCONFIG /all it days DHCP enable = yes
Netbios over TCPIP = enabled
I can ping the router and can see the network drive attached to it

I have tried hard wiring the vista computer to the router but that does not work either.

I have an XP computer attached to the router by wireless and that is working fine

I would guess that it's a DNS problem somewhere.

Have you tried pinging www.cisco.com?

 

Tried pinging www.cisco.com and www.yahoo.co.uk. both came back with 'ping request could not fnd host www.blah... Please check the name and try again.

 

When did this problem start?

 

it comes and goes. usually manage to sort it by messing around with the settings, but I cant fix it this time. I really need to know what setting nis getting corrupted and then I can fix it easily.

 

You could try setting your PC as a LAN client on your router if its not allready. Does rebooting the router solve the issue temporaraly?

 

turned the router off last night and powered it up this morning. no change
ran the setup disk that came with the router.no effect.

 

Please supply the following info, exact make and models of the equipment please.

Name of your ISP (Internet Service Provider).
Make and exact model of the broadband modem.
Make and exact model and hardware version of the router (if a separate unit).
Model numbers can usually be obtained from the label on the device.
Connection type, wired or wireless.
If wireless, encryption used, (none, WEP, WPA, or WPA2)
Version and patch level of Windows on all affected machines, i.e. XP (Home or Pro), SP1-SP2-SP3, Vista (Home, Business, Ultimate), etc.
The Internet Browser in use, IE, Firefox, Opera, etc.




Please give an exact description of your problem symptoms, including the exact text of any error messages.

• If you're using a wireless connection, have you tried a direct connection with a cable to see if that changes the symptoms?
• For wireless issues, have you disabled all encryption on the router to see if you can connect that way?
• Have you connected directly to the broadband modem to see if this is a router or modem/ISP issue?
• If there are other computers on the same network, are they experiencing the same issue, or do they function normally?

On any affected computer, I'd also like to see this:

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

Type the following commands:

PING 206.190.60.37

PING yahoo.com

NBTSTAT -n

IPCONFIG /ALL

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.

TCP/IP stack repair options for use with Windows Vista.

Start, Programs\Accessories and right click on Command Prompt, select "Run as Administrator" to open a command prompt.

In the command prompt window that opens, type type the following commands:

Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults: netsh winsock reset catalog

Reset IPv4 TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log

Reset IPv6 TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log

Reboot the machine.

 

fraid that didnt fix it, but doing a reset of the router did, using a paperclip in the little hole, and rerunning the setup utility on the disk.

Wonder what had got corrupted?

Thanks for all the help

Nice to know my suggestion of rebooting the router did solve the problem. LOL!
