I have a home network with two computers connected with a netgear switch.

This morning one of the two could not connect to the internet. I first tried

switching the cable locations on the switch which did nothing. Then I

connected the internet cable directly into the computer. I still cannot get

it to connect. In uninstalled the internet card's drivers and restarted the

computer. Still nothing. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Ken:

 

Did you check to see if you have an activity light on on the switch and

ethernet card?

Check all / any firewall / anti-virus softwares.

 

Reset the network protocol stack. I have successfully used

"winsockxpfix.exe."

Ken:

 

Did you see if you could ping your gateway? It could a bad ethernet card or

cable, we get a lot of surges where I am at, so I am forever replacing

ethernet cards. Do you get your IP's through DHCP?

Ken

Try this:

Open a run command by clicking Start >> Run >. type in the input box these

command one at a time and click [OK]

ipconfig /flushdns click [OK]

ipconfig /renew click [OK]

netsh winsock reset click [OK]

Reboot the machine in question, does it connect?

 

Or try this winsock fix from here:

http://www.nasstec.co.uk/tools.html

Execute and it will prompt you to restart your machine, please do so and see

if that will help?

If it doesn't then what the last thing happen on this computer like new

software installed/updates recently..etc.

Let us know.

Re: Lost Home Network connection

 

A gateway is the IP Address where all Internet traffic is routed to. In

diagnosing a network issue you have to verify PC to Access device &

then Access device to Internet. Your gateway will either be the IP of

the Router or the Broadband modem.

 

To perform a Ping:

Click Start, Run (Type) Cmd [Enter]

Click inside the Command Prompt box to give it focus

>Ping 192.168.1.1

^ Use your Gateway address

Ping will return statistics, if Ping works % Loss will equal 0% loss

You start by Ping'ing your gateway if that works, then you ping a

Internet site that accepts Ping traffic ( DslReports.Com does ).

Re: Lost Home Network connection

 

Ok, no problem, first click on Start->Run and type in cmd and hit enter. A

black box should pop up. Then type in ipconfig /all, this should have all

of your network configurations. Look for the done that says "Default

Gateway" it should be something like xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. Then type in "ping

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" with out the quotes and using the Default Gateway IP

address and hit enter, then you should see "Reply from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:

bytes=32 time=<1ms ttl=128" or something close to that. if you get a

"Request timed out" or "Destination host unreachable", it could be the TCP

stack is trashed, or bad configs or a bad ethernet card (resetting the TCP

stack should be used as a last resort).

Re: Lost Home Network connection

 

There is no entry on the Default Gateway line. It is blank. WHen I type in

ipconfig /release nothing happens. There is no response.

I type in the ipconfig /flushdns and I got a subsequent command prompt. I

typed in ipconfig /renew and nothing happened. I tried ipconfig /all and

found that there is no default gateway entry.

Re: Lost Home Network connection

 

Hmmm, I suspect you may have a bad ethernet card ... you may want to try

resetting the winsock layer before you go running out to buy another

ethernet card. You could use the automated program for that WinSock XP Fix,

here is the link:

 

http://www.snapfiles.com/get/winsockxpfix.html

 

Just be careful with it though.

this option:

Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click on properties Button.

On the Internet Protocol (TCP/..) properties under general make sure the

Re: Lost Home Network connection

 

I rebooted the FIOS router a second time and this time it appears to have

corrected the problem. I can now access the internet from both computers.

However, computer A cannot access computer B. But Computer B can access

computer A. WHen I try to access computer B from computer A I get a message

saying that access is denied. THey are both on the same workgroup. I can

see computer B from A. Any ideas?

Re: Lost Home Network connection

 

I rebooted the FIOS router a second time and this time it appears to have

corrected the problem. I can now access the internet from both computers.

However, computer A cannot access computer B. But Computer B can access

computer A. WHen I try to access computer B from computer A I get a message

saying that access is denied. THey are both on the same workgroup. I can

see computer B from A. Any ideas?

Check the Firewall to allow the LAN connection on Machine B to allow

Connection.
