Well its all happened since I last posted. I reset the router and diden't realise that I would lose this pc as well. Lengthy phone call to ISP and at least B is working again. I did as you explained but when I right click on the result it did not give me an option to choose " run elevated " . It does however give the option to " run as administrator " is this what you mean ? Kelvin .............

Hi Tony -- checked cable,it seems ok the flush dns command gave this message :- " the requested operation requires elevation "

Hi Tony -- Diden't leave a space between the ping command and IP addresses last time. Done this correctly now and results are :- " ping transmit failed , error code 1231 " packets sent = 4 ,received =0 , lost = 4 ( 100 % loss ) this happened for both the IP addresses PC B works fine router ping time was less than 1 ms and 0% loss and other address was average 50 ms and 0% loss Yes I have re-booted several times. Thanks Kelvin .............

Hi Kelley --- Regarding Yahoo -- the reply is " Ping request could not find host http://www.yahoo.com. Please check name and try again " which I did and got the same result. the other 2 IP addresses I got the same message " is not recognised as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file. Many thanks, Kelvin ...........

Hi Wolfeymole -- Just sent them to your e-mail address. Thanks very much for that. Kelvin .........

Hi Jack -- I have transferred the screenshot from A to pc B ( which will connect to the web ) as a paint file. It won't let me copy and paste it to the forum message.Any ideas on how I can acheive this ?

Hi Wolfeymole -- I still can't seem to grasp wether it needs to be a network connection at all as they are intended as 3 seperate stand alone pc's , they are just using the same router for connection to the web. Would a solitary stand alone pc need to be part of a network connection ?

Hi -- Not sure if this should be under networking or Windows Vista problems. Please move this thread if you feel it is appropriate. ok situation is this :- PC ' s = A,B and C . They are connected via a Netgear wireless router modem DG834G which has 4 lan ports. A is the problem and not working. ( this is connected via lan cable ) B works fine via lan cable C works fine via wireless connection I do not intend them to act as a network in any form, all I want is 3 seperate pc's able to connect via the 1 router. The reason I have listed the other 2 is to show that it is in my opinion unlikely to be the router ( although it could be ) as the other 2 work from it ok. This is why this thread may need to be moved to Windows Vista problems. A has been working fine until last night. I diden't change any settings ( that I remember ) and now get the standard " cannot not display the web page " message. It has windows Vista loaded. I have tried disabling and re-enabling etc. and changed some of the settings and they may need changing back but am not sure of the original settings. Network and sharing centre shows I am linked to an unidentified network. I have contacted my ISP who tried initially to help but stopped when I explained that I had a working pc from the router ( big mistake ) as if there is at least 1 working pc that is the end of thier responsibility.Netgear won't help as the router is a couple of years old. Do I have to be connected via a network ? As I explained earlier the 3 pc's are all intended to be stand alone. Is there another way of connecting ? Thank you in anticipation.

Hi Wolfeymole -- Found time to do the necessary work and it worked as per your help. Thank you very much.

Sorry Wolfeymole I missed that you had already posted the necessary actions to take. Apologies and thanks again.

ok thanks wolfeymole I will do that later as I have other things on my plate now. Just jumping the gun a little,assuming after un-installing creative labs and the sound now works on the pc , where would that leave me as regards the web cam software as I would really like sound with cam. installed ?

Hi fellahs and thank you. It is an E-system 3083 laptop with an Intel Celeron processor about 2 years old with xp home and sp2. The software is from Creative labs for the web cam. I did uninstall and re-install but did not however try the sound when it was uninstalled. The system restore option is a valid point. Hope this is the information you requested. Please get back to me if it is not.

Hi ----- Loaded web cam software the other day and now the sound on my pc is not working. When I go to sound under control panel it is greyed out as is the speaker test option. Also under device manager there is a yellow circle with an exclamation mark under the audio listing. O/S is windows xp home. Can anyone assist please ?
