Fix my laptop

[97gp]

I can't connect to the internet wirelessly anymore, when I go to connect it says I connected successfully but if I look at my network im not connected to the internet. It used to work fine and it hasnt been working for the past 3-4 months but I ignored it. So how do I make it work again?

[jesus]

Are you getting an IP address and if so does it start with 192.168?

[97gp]

You need to explain more brah because I got that shit.

So how do I see the ip im getting?

[jesus]

Start -----> Run ------> type CMD and hit enter ------> type ipconfig and hit enter

Post back your IP address.

[97gp]

Yes it starts 192.168

[jesus]

Open the cmd prompt again and type:

ping caraudio.com

It should retrieve the DNS info and post it back to you. Post back if it determines what caraudio.com's IP address is, or if there is an error.

[97gp]

comes back with ip 209.62.120.115

[jesus]

Then your wireless is working. You're either dumping packets like crazy or your browser is screwed. You did do this on the laptop right?

[97gp]

Yes im on my laptop but im connected to the interwebz via a cord right now not wirelessly since it wont connect to a wireless network.

[jesus]

lol

Unplug it and try again.

[97gp]

Ok when I do it when its unplugged and said that I connected successfully I get no ip and and an error for the ip of ca.com

[jesus]

Are you using the Windows ZCU or software for the card? Next to your clock at the bottom does it look like this:

Click "Connect to a network" and post a screenshot of what comes up.

[97gp]

It shows that im connected

[jesus]

Is bdog the network you're trying to connect to?

[97gp]

Is bdog the network you're trying to connect to?

No I cant connect to any wireless network it says im connected but im actually not connected to the internet. I could connect to bdog whoever that may be and it will say i connected successfully but I still wont be connected to the internet.

[jesus]

You've got PM.

[97gp]

It says waiting for incoming connection

[jesus]

Did you get a 12 digit connect code? Or did you email it as an attachment?

[jesus]

Your port might be blocked. Do you know how to get into your router and open port 3389?

[97gp]

Did you get a 12 digit connect code? Or did you email it as an attachment?

just did it as attachment should be same password.

[tapout]

this happened to me before and did this...

In the cmd prompt, type ipconfig/release hit enter. Then ipconfig/renew enter. Worked for me.

GL. anything else is above my pay scale.

[maddskillzz]

a blocked port shouldnt stop him from gettin an ip address....sounds like to me your router took a dump....try some other wireless device and see if it can connect..psp..ps3..another laptop..pda...something like that...if they can connect then go back to workin in the laptop..also you might want to go in and make a new profile under your connections and start from scratch also check your router to make sure your password is correct...i know from experience with vista it wont always tell you if your password is wrong, it will just keep trying to connect

[Toasted1]

my next advice would be setting the router back to default settings and then trying to connect with no protection, from there start configuring it again.

then I would try the firmware, does not make sense it would just quit working due to a firmware issue but odder things have happened.

[IamDeMan]

Buy a new one from K & M

[Spider Monkey]

Is the Wifi led lit above the actual keyboard?.

[IamDeMan]

Is the Wifi led lit above the actual keyboard?.

Yes but it is orange instead of its usual blue.

[Spider Monkey]

SPANS HO!

+1

My first recommendation too.

[tapout]

fuckin A Im a genius.

[pl8er]

After which I would make sure that your not being (or trying to be) statically assigned.

i saw the comment about multiple digit code. I'm not saying anything negative about whoever was offering help but always be CAUTIOUS of online assistance. Yes, I do it for people all the time, but really know the person.

[97gp]

Also its not just my network that is the problem so its not the router, I cant connect to any wireless network. I know the router works fine since other people are able to use it.

[Spider Monkey]

Answer my question. This could be as simple as you locking the WIFI in the off position on the laptop itself, by mistake.

Lights blue brah

[Spider Monkey]

Maximize your system tray and take another screen shot. Windows may not be managing your wifi. So shitty add on that came with the computer from the factory may be doing it.

There isnt much there,

Bro, I don't even see the wireless icon. Is it disabled bro?

[97gp]

Bro, I don't even see the wireless icon. Is it disabled bro?

Bro its the 2nd from the right, the top shows me connected to the interwebz and the bottom is when im disconnected.

[Spider Monkey]

That is your LAN connection.

You should have a wireless one as indicated above if you want to connect wirelessly.

START> CONNECTIONS> SHOW ALL CONNECTIONS

Right click the wireless connection and select repair. The icon should appear in the system tray.

At least mine does and I jump between the two all week long.

I dont have a connections tab and when I search I get nothing, Are you sure connections isnt under something else?

[nismos14]

fial

[Spider Monkey]

You have a gay start menu.

START > CONTROL PANEL > NETWORK CONNECTIONS

That is another way to get to it.

[97gp]

Sorry bro but im not very good with computers as you may see. Where do you want me to go from here and if im infact in the right place now.

I didn't even stop to realize you were running Vista. lel

Im guessing maybe it could have something to do with network discovery and file sharing being turned off :confused:

Wasn't intentional. I have never used Vista for a second in my life. I assumed you were rocking some kind of leet skin. :wat:

[Spider Monkey]

See, if you stayed with a good OS, I could have bailed you out. lel

[97gp]

I guess I can join the bandwagon and hate on vista now, does anyone know how to help me with this shitty os?

[pl8er]

I noticed your anti-virus and the likes. Open those and make sure that you haven't disabled wireless as a feature.

I said this above that it isn't the best of ideas, but if you want me to remote in...I will do it. I did it for hoss about 3 weeks ago.

[pl8er]

Because honestly this step by step shit is taking a LONG time :P If its apparent it is fixable in about 3 minutes LOL

pl8er@hotmail.com if you want to send me a message and I can walk you through it.

that doesn't work

this is anti-virus related i'm sure.

Click start full version open the program that shows, click run (not install) give me the numbers and password through hotmail.

*cringe* Vista...so fucked up.

Might have figured it out but it may be ipv4 and N class not working with vista

[jesus]

He needs to enable port 3389 on his router. Come on guys..............

[jesus]

His router is blocking port 3389:

Using Remote Assistance Through A Firewall

Remote Assistance uses the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to establish a connection between a user requesting help and a helper providing it. The RDP uses TCP port 3389 for this connection. To allow users within an organization to request help outside your organization using Remote Assistance, port 3389 must be open at the firewall. To prohibit users from requesting help outside the organization, this port should be closed at the firewall.

Refer to the instructions for administering the firewall for information about opening or closing port 3389.

[97gp]

Ok first round with pl8er didnt work so if anyone has any ideas for me to try while I wait for him to get back go for it.

LOL....FAIL

I've already remoted into his computer homie. It has nothing to do with that port. It has to do with his computer accessing his router. I have some ideas and I"ll address those a bit later.

You on around say 8 or 9 tonight?

FAIL would be the last thing my post was. Let me re-block my 3389 port on my Netgear real quick and you get in with an invitation. It won't happen. His computer having problems accessing his router would be moot when he wires in. The next logical step would have been to check his port.

[97gp]

Maybe I should just reformat back to factory settings shouldent that make things all good?

Again, I can access his computer via remote. The internet accesses mostly on port 80. I can access on that port.

The problem is more than likely a firewall application OR IPv4 class N and his router.

Have you done updates recently? Also, can you shut off your anti-virus, reboot and try wireless? Have you done any updates to the anti-virus recently? not definition updates but actual upgrades. Did it work while your anti-virus was installed or have you installed that recently?

What apps have you recently added?

Lots of questions, but the root of this is more than likely software based.

I'm not saying your wrong btw, just he has very limited network experience so he didn't mess with the router (i'm assuming) so it worked before and now it does not.

Nothing new with the antivirus i've had that for a year or so and i've only had this problem for the past few months. Im not sure if I installed anything when this started since it happened so long ago. So could I just reformat back to factory?

[pl8er]

yes, you could. But that is sorta like buying a new car because you got a nail in your tire.

We can fix this. We just have to trouble shoot what is causing the problem.

So you cannot access from any router?

Did you try shutting off your anti-virus and rebooting then wireless?

[97gp]

Correct I can't access from any router.

I'll do that now.

[pl8er]

also, do you pay for that anti-virus? If it is free I would uninstall and use Avira.

[97gp]

I uninstalled it and I still couldent connect, im about to leave and wont be back until about 10 so we can do the connecting thing some other time. Or if you have any more ideas of what I can do just post them in here and i'll try them later.

Run wired and uninstall the wireless device (uninstall driver).
Then refresh that screen and let it download the most up-to-date one.

Glad it's back up.

[97gp]

I just wish reinstalling the drivers 3 months ago would have worked.

[pl8er]

Well there are issues with certain speeds, cards and vista especially with the new IP standards.

It didn't work previously because the driver hadn't been corrected. I'm sure if you look at the release date, it is much newer.
