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 setting Appears you have a number of issues. xxchazindreamzxx do you know how to web search? google device manager xp See 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 call Winsock status Info. All base service provider entries are present in the winsock catolog Network adapter status Info. Network connection status: connected Http, https, ftp diagnostic Connectivity Info. Ftp (passive): successfully connected to ftp.Microsoft.com Info. Https: successfully connected to www.Microsoft.com Warn.

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?

wanderer July 30, 2010 at 13:16:05

control panel/performance and maintenance/administration tools/services look for workstation service
