Re: Connection but no Internet... LIMITED connection Ok, I'm having a very similar Problem... I have had my New HP computer with Vista x64 for about 5 months. It's been hardwired to the Net for months working fine. I just moved.. got internet hooked up and on here at the new condo. I'm upstairs and the main computer with a Netgear Wireless router is downstairs.. so I went and got a Wireless card.. Hooked it up and my internet worked... the first day ONLY. I did automatic updates cuz computer was down for alomst a month. after the updates I did a restart.. and after the restart it asked me to do another restart.. witch was odd.. I did it and the restart never was completed and my comp crashed... Windows fixed itself cuz it went to a previous state witch it was working properly and now my internet doesn't work.. I can see and find like 6 networks in my Condo and surrounding area.. my wirless card picks up 6 networks.. 4 unsecure and 2 secure.. Mine being one of the Secure lines.. so I can connect and type my password and it connects.. and identifies and says CONNECTED.. yet when i click STATUS it shows LIMITED connectivity.. No matter what I do it ALWAYS says LIMITED. I called netgear and went through 2 hours of tech support that wasted my night. here is the problem tho.. my internet works.. My Wireless card works.. It connects and I CAN use the internet.. let me repeat. I CAN use the internet.. I can connect and play my online games with STEAM.. I can connect and download music with LimeWire.. I can connect and use ITunes.. but THATS IT. I CANNOT browse using internet explorer or Firefox. so I can do everything i usually can with internet but I can't browse or anything. It still to this day says LIMITED connectivity and I'm completely stuck. CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP... |
