Loptop Connection Problems
I have been given a phillips laptop, its wireless and can get it to connect via wireless to my router but it will not connect to the internet. I have even tried with a cable straight to the router and still no joy. Anyone any ideas what i could try to get it working?? I have disabled firewall etc but still cant connect to internet. (sorry, am not very technical and have no idea what i am going on about so will just describe best as i can

was probably just DNS that was broken. i'd recommend using opendns.org as an alternative to the ISP supplied one. |

Re: Loptop Connection Problems
i have DNS issues sometime when I bring my laptop out of hibernation. If I hibernate it again then turn it back on again it works ok. It is very annoying

Re: Loptop Connection Problems
dns does seem to be flakey in windows.. i have seen it a number of times on my work PC as well where sleep/hibernate screws it up.
you can try a ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew in a dos/command prompt to reset the networking config |

Re: Loptop Connection Problems
i tried that when it first started to do it but it did not fix it. Nor did disable then re enable the wireless adapter. I have just added static DNS server addresses into the wireless adapter setting to see if that stops it messing up.
