Guest Anosh Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 Hi, I'm stumped by a networking issue I'm hoping someone can help with. I have a Windows XP Pro (SP2) computer connected to the internet via a D- Link 524 Wireless router and a cable modem connection. I also have a VoIP phone adaptor connected to the same router. Here's the problem. For some reason the VoIP phone adaptor connects to the internet just fine, however the computer does not. The router's address is 192.168.0.1 The computer gets an IP of 192.168.0.100 (assigned by DHCP). I have verified that the computer's default gateway is set to 192.168.0.1. If I ping yahoo.com, it resolves the correct address 206.190.60.37 but is unable to ping yahoo.com and says Request timed out. I tried doing a tracert yahoo.com and it gets to: Tracing route to yahoo.com [206.190.60.37] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 192.168.0.1 And fails from then onwards. Surprisingly enough the VoIP device works fine and I am able to make and receive calls. I have tried changing the computer's IP address statically to 192.168.0.200. It made no difference. I've considered the possibility of the VoIP device having its own DHCP server running that interferes with the DLINK router and changed the DLINK router to use the 192.168.10.1 subnet. It assigned the PC an IP of 192.168.10.100 but the issue still persists. The VoIP router continues to work without any issues. The Windows Firewall is turned off on the XP machine and the service is disabled. I have tried reseting winsock by using the command line: netsh winsock reset and restarted the computer. This has not helped either. What would cause the machine to see the default gateway but not the internet? Would appreciate your advice. Thanks! Anosh

Guest PA Bear [MS MVP] Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 Re: Can ping default gateway but cannot access internet You should NEVER connect to the internet without a firewall enabled! Are you running IE7 and did you just install the most recent Cumulative Security Update for IE? What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)? -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Desktop Experience - since 2002 AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net DTS-L http://dts-l.net/ Anosh wrote: > Hi, > > I'm stumped by a networking issue I'm hoping someone can help with.

Guest Anosh Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Re: Can ping default gateway but cannot access internet Thank you all for your replies. The issue has been resolved, it was some misconfiguration on the DLINK router although I am not sure what exactly. I have a static IP from my cable provider, and I had set the router to use a static IP. My ISP suggested changing it to obtain IP address via DHCP and that seemed to resolve the issue (even though my static IP settings were identical to the DHCP settings). The reason I had my windows firewall off on the machine is that my router should act as a firewall so there's no reason to leave the windows firewall running which in my opinion is more of a hindrance than help, especially while troubleshooting issues like this. Thanks again!
