I am USING a Cable Modem. Wirelessly routing to a Notebook which is able to connect to the internet. A desktop Running XP is connected via ethernet. This desktop is unable to LOAD any internet pages and while attempting to connect to MSN Messenger gives a DNS and Proxy error. I have disconnected the router, modem and restarted the computer with no change. I have connected the Notebook via ethernet and it is able to connect without problems. I have connected the desktop directly from the modem with no change. The notebook is running Vista. Regarding the desktop, under network connections LAN and Internet gateway are showing connected. Any help with this issue will be a big help!
I also pinged www.google.com with the responce "ping request could not FIND the host"
When Pinging the direct ip number the responce yeilds "ping Stats"Can you try ANOTHER Ethernet Cable as well as another port on the Router and see if it works?
Try resetting the router and modem as well. (Unplug their power sources for about 20 seconds)
If it doesn't work, go to Device Manager and look for any Yellow Question or Exclamation Marks.

Also, what happened before the problem? (downloads/installs/hardware changes/ect...)Quote from: Joe2008123 on December 08, 2008, 05:16:25 PM
