Using windows XP SP3 modem router and computer are connected with a clear strong SIGNAL. I try to connect to the I/Net and the computer will not connect.Ive turned off the fire wall and it still wont connect.What could be the problem?1. Click Start>Run (Start>"Start search" in Vista).

2. Type in (or copy and paste):

cmd /c ping google.com>%temp%\$.$&notepad %temp%\$.$

and press Enter.

3. Notepad will open.

4. Copy all text in Notepad ([Ctrl-A], then [Ctrl-C]), and then post it (paste = [Ctrl-V]) in your next reply.
The issue may be with your antivirus, so disable /STOP the antivirus protection and have a try.. it will fix the issue..

Cheers!Hi,
If you have brodband connection then their might be problem with Network Cabling that not ALLOWING you to access internet on your system.. Ignore the above post.Is firewall affect internet connection?

I think there is no problem SWITCHING on /off your windows firewall. It seems the problem are:


1. Cable CONFIGURATION
Maybe your color scheme ais not sort well. or your rj 45 not inserted properly.
Check cable configuration, if you are using wired connection E.g. using UTP,STP,FTP cables.
2. Check if ure network status is not disabled. Some virus can disable ure local area network status as well as the conection to the internet.
3. If you check all those mehod try to repair your local area network by doing the following method
Code: [Select]Start Menu\Network Place\View Network Connection then\Right click\Repair


i hope it will help you a little..Ignore the one above as well.I can't believe all of the bad advice given in this thread, it might be a record.
