Wireless network connects but won't open web pages!

[dirtynumb]

Hi, i have a problem with my wireless connection.
I can use the internet fine on 2 other computers on my network, but one of them connects and won't let me open up web pages in either internet explorer or firefox. I've tried the winsockfix program and it hasn't worked and i've seen other posts like mine talking about the ipconfig in the command line, but i can't understand it. I need someone to apply it directly to my situation. If anyone's willing to help, please get back to me about this as soon as possible. Thank you in advance!

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.

You have DHCP disabled, and no DNS server. That's not going to work. Enable DHCP.

Select Start > Settings > Network Connections.

• Double-click the Connection icon of the connection you wish to modify to open the Local Area Connection Status window.
• Click the Properties button to open the Local Area Connection Properties window.
• Click to highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
• Click the Properties button to open the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties window.
• TCP/IP Properties window, IP Address tab
• Select Obtain an IP address automatically.
• Select Obtain DNS server address automatically.
• Click OK to return to the Local Area Connection Properties window.
• Click OK to return to the Network Connections window.

It now says that there is limited or no connectivity to the network because the network did not assign a network address to the computer.
The details on this read;
Physical Address: 00-06-F4-0C-CE-48
IP Address: 169.254.156.178
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway:
DNS Server:
WINS Server:


And the ipconfig/all command now reads;

Make sure you're not locking yourself out with MAC address filtering on the router.

If you have Service Pack 2 use the below posted repairs if this is not what you used before.

And thirdly, if your network is secured disable encryption on the router and connect. Assuming success you should be able to re-enable encryption and reconnect.

(From a JohnWill post)

TCP/IP stack repair options for use with Windows XP with SP2.

Start, Run, CMD, OK to open a command prompt.

Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults: netsh winsock reset catalog

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

Reboot the machine.
