ME laptop cannot access internet through broadband???
Hi guys,
This one is really driving me nuts...I’m an IT helpdesk analyst and have asked colleagues for advice and no solutions... Here goes... Basically after reinstalling a 3COM cardbus PCMCIA card in a Windows ME laptop the internet won’t work. Strange thing is, I can ping the IP address of websites such as Yahoo successfully and also the domain servers no problem. DHCP seems fine, have rebooted the cable modem, renewed IP address and all seems fine. I’ve repaired IE5.5 and still nothing. Constantly just ’Page cannot be displayed’ One interesting thing is that I couldn’t ping domains such as yahoo.co.uk it came up as host not found. Then if pinged their IP addresses it would work fine. After reading another post I removed Netbeui protocol and rebooted and can now ping domains successfully, yahoo.co.uk. bbc.co.uk.... Still...page cannot be displayed in internet explorer... I even tried just entering the IP address and still nothing... I bought a router yesterday (Netgear RP614V2) which was to replace ICS. I have my XP SP1 desktop machine connected to port 1 and the laptop on port 2... The XP machine works fine. Both machines can see each other and access data between them no problem... It’s just the internet???! Assume from that the hardware is fine and TCPIP stack is fine... One other point the XP machine only is able to access the router via IE. The ME machine just gets page cannot be displayed again...yet it can ping the router from DOS... I also tried connecting the laptop direct to the cable modem (reboot, renew IP etc. as has always worked before) I have also tried deleting index.dat and checked for viruses and spyware... Any ideas anyone??? -- http://www.WindowsForumz.com/ This article was posted by author's request Articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards Topic URL: http://www.WindowsForumz.com/Network...ict235468.html Visit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).
