    Accessing the internet - wireless

    Hi,
    Sony Vaio with Vista is connected wirelessly
    to a HOME network.
    It can access all other computers.
    Any one of them can access the Interment.
    This one does not.



    At work, this computer CAN access the Internet
    (while wirelessly connected to the COMPANY network)

    Seems to be a "setting" issue?
    Any advise?

    Hi
    It might be configured at work in a special way thta is not compatible with
    Home Network.
    Ask the IT guys at work on how to connected to a Home Network.

    why are you using these specific DNS servers?. and you shouldn't be
    getting/using an attbi.com DNS suffix.

    see http://dns.comcast.net/dns-ip-addresses2.php for some DNS servers.

    Thanks Barb,

    I'm not sure how to answer your question.
    I didn't set, intentionally , any of them.
    Is it not Comcast setting?

    (Comcast bought the local cable operation from ATT,
    thus the ne1.client2.attbi.com, I think)

    Said that - please look at my original problem,
    repeated, below:

    Sony Vaio with Vista is connected wirelessly to a HOME network.
    (Exception - AboutTime, a pronrams to "set" the clock, does access the
    Internet)
    It can access all other computers.
    Any one of them can access the Interment.
    This one does not.

    At work, this computer CAN access the Internet
    (while wirelessly connected to the COMPANY network)

    Seems to be a "setting" issue?
    Any advise?

    Re: Accessing the internet - wireless

    what exact cable modem and router do you have? is it a combination device? if
    that ipconfig /all that you posted was from your home while in the state of "no
    Internet connectivity" I'd say that you have a DNS issue. Your time program
    probably uses an IP address to access the Internet.

    If you could set the DNS addresses statically in the machine you are having
    issues with, we'd know this for certain.

    If Comcast is handing out those DNS addresses, that is a problem. And if so, it
    is probably something I can do something about.

    I'd like to see an ipconfig /all from one of the computers that CAN access the
    Internet..

    Re: Accessing the internet - wireless

    Hi
    You indicated that at work you can connect.
    That means that your Wireless is basically OK.
    Many work places have special setting for Wireless. Sometimes their settings
    are not compatible with home networks.
    If you play around with it might Not connect any more at work.
    If you do not provide info about what kind of connection it is at work,
    rather than Helping you we can end up hindering your system.
