Guest David Schwartz Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 To make it short and sweet. My laptop functions perfectly with wireless networks, like in my home. But when I take it to my office or to a hotel with Ethernet only and plug the cable in, the laptop sees the connection (the balloon on the lower right says so) but I cannot open any web pages or download any mail. In other words, it sees the Ethernet connection but doesn't know how to use it. Do I have to disable my wireless settings before the computer can use the Ethernet? Can I set it to use both, with Ethernet having priority? Dave Schwartz

Sounds to me like your firewall is blocking your Ethernet. Try running in safe mode with networking and see if it works. Get on and get off, so you don't get infected. And, don't test it with IE and no firewall/anti virus running. A much safer choice for your test would be Firefox: http://www.mozilla.com Other than that, I am out of ideas. HTH, -T

Guest ToddAndMargo Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Re: Submitted for your approval >> But when I take it to my ... a hotel Hotels really, really stink. I have worked for hotels before and they are so, so cheap that it is a wonder anything works, ever. They will not spend an extra dime on anything, especially computer hardware! If you use hotels a lot, the better to go is to get a Clearwire's PC card for your laptop. If no Clearwire where you go, get a cell phone data service (more expensive and slower than Clearwire). My 2 cents, -T
Guest R. McCarty Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Re: Submitted for your approval Likely the NIC has TCP/IP settings configured manually, instead of by DHCP. If the balloon acknowledges a connection but no data traffic is occurring then either the Gateway or DNS server information is wrong. In Hotels it's not uncommon for there to be a limited number of PCs that can connect. Once that limit is reached, you'll see the connection be established but cannot browse the web or access any external sites. Usually it's because the pool of available DHCP assigned address has been exhausted or the lease period is set to an excessive length of time.

(as it has helped me in similar situations.) You may have a problem with "netbios over tcp/ip." Right click on your Network icon. Choose Properties. Scroll down to find TCP/IP, and click on Properties. Next, click on the WINS tab. At the bottom you will see NetBios settings. Try experimenting with the first two settings. If one prevents you from getting on the net, try the other. 'Seems weird, but it has bailed me out of the problem you describe. All the best, -- Kenneth If you email... Please remove the "SPAMLESS."

My work has me in hotels quite frequently. Only very rarely have I had any hassle with network stuff.
