| Vista Home Premium 64bit | Wireless Connection but no internet access... I have been on the phone collectively for 6 hours with AT&T as well as had a technician out here to look at this problem. I have a new wireless router box. The whole At&T system went down briefly (tvs and all). When it booted back up my computer wouldn't recognize the wireless network. After getting a new box, it will now recognize the wireless network in my home. It says I am connected to the network with excellent strength but I still cannot get online. My desktop works fine and I plugged the ethernet cable into my computer and it still won't get online being hardwired to the router. My firewalls are turned off. I have run an ipconfig with the following message: Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address . : 169.254.41.21 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . : Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: Media State . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Tunnel adapter Local Area Connection*6: Media State . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected Connection-specific DNS Suffix. : (And this last one "Tunnel adapter Local Area Connections repeats using the numbers 7, 12, and 13 with the same message) Someone suggested I run an sfc/scnnow The following message came up: Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log For example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log What do I do now? And are there any other suggestions? Of course my warranty for this computer ran out last month and I now can not get anyone to help. The Toshiba line is of no help unless you are a complete computer-idiot. Any help would be splendid! Thanks! |

| Vista 32 win 7 7600 32 bit | Re: Wireless Connection but no internet access... emelworth I think its two problems. first the listed IP tells me you are not connected to the router/modem. the other problem is the sfc results. Fixing the SFC files may fix the connectivity. do you have a backup to restore from? ken |

I hope the ping tells us something. |
