I am running windows xp with service pack 3. I ran diagnostic and it said wireless-service disabled. I got in cmd and pinged the loopback, that sent/received all packets. Then I pinged my ip, subnet, and dns. This is what I got:
Ip address unreachable
Subnet invalid
Dns unreachablemy wireless connection says its connected but I receive dll.dnserror even when I try Microsoft.com
Open the command prompt & run ipconfig /all
Post the output here if you don't understand it.How do you know when a politician is lying? His mouth is moving.

The wireless adapter is not getting an IP address. Look at the device manager to make sure that the driver is installed & that the adapter is enabled. How do you know when a politician is lying? His mouth is moving.
Can you tell me a little more detailed please? Maybe step by step how to get it going....all of this ip stuff is new to me. Thank you
How much more detail do you want? You have to look at the device manager. Did you do that? How do you know when a politician is lying? His mouth is moving.
I don't know how to get to that
Right click on my computer, left click on properties, hardware & device manager. Look for red or yellow marks next to network adapters. How do you know when a politician is lying? His mouth is moving.
"Ip routing enabled...:yes"
this is a wrong settingAppears you have a number of issues.
xxchazindreamzxx do you know how to web search?
google device manager xpSee if you can find in the results of that search how to access device manager.
You can also go to Help and Support off your start menu with the same search criteria.
This gives you the ability to find answers when you don't understand a term or some property of windows.
In the meantime can you connect directly to your modem or router with a patch cable. You do have a modem or router for internet access?
We also need you to follow instructions. It was requested you post the results of an ipconfig /all. What you posted is missing information because you only did a ipconfig.
Please post the ipconfig /all. Thanks
Guapo, I'm in system properties, under hardware, device manager. i looked at nework adapters, both say they are working properly and both enabled
Wanderer, I found device manager thanx to guapo. I didn't know there needed to be a space after ipconfig /all. The computer is a laptop, I have no patch cable.
As far as a modem or router i don't know. I am new to do this on my own. Bear with me please.
I have been catching whatever wireless connection it will pick up. Then it just stopped connecting.
I am using my phone for internet access right now.

Looks like whatever you connected to is setup to give you invalid entries which is why you are having the experience you are. clue would be doman.invalid.
Connect to a different free wifi spot. There does not appear to be anything wrong with your wifi card or xp
ok. I can catch 3 or 4 different wifi signals at my house. They all say they are connected but, when I go to a website I get "cannot display webpage" with a dll/dnserror at the bottom. I veiw the diagnostc log and this is what it says: Wireless diagnostic
Wireless-service disabled
info. Redirecting user to support callWinsock status
Info. All base service provider entries are present in the winsock catologNetwork adapter status
Info. Network connection status: connectedHttp, https, ftp diagnostic

have you ever successfully connected to one of these before? might want to check your browser security settings as well as firewall settings. Appears https and ftp are not blocked but http is.
In services is workstation service started?
Earlier this month I had no problems connecting to anything. All firewalls are the same as before, internet settings I'm not sure of how they are suppose to be set. In what services? I've never seen anything about workstation. How do I get to that menu?
