Window Vista netwoking trouble

lordbrett · 3rd June 2009

Im running widows vista on my desktop.

Just recently it stopped connecting to the internet. Im using a wireless connection to connect with my router. One day, while i was playing a game it switched all internet off, and booted me off the game. I checked my network connection and it said local only. I was wondering how can i fix this. I have done all power things, shutoff, reset network, even the regedit thing. The weid thing is that im on the same network with my laptop running XP, also other vistas are connected to the network...
any Help guys????

The connection is Ipv4
I am using a belkin wireless card. To cable internet. It looks like everything should be fine considering im geting my gateway, and im being assigned an IP.
i have used Windows Network Diagnostics
it said to reset the network adapter, i have done this put the problem still persist

It says
"Cannot communicate with Primary DNS Server(24.92.226.40)
Any ideas guys?

ok last night i came home and my network was working fine for about 3 min, i left the room came back and got the same problem again, i didnt even touch the computer...
Still waiting for help guys

When it doesn't connect, run again the above commands & post here.

Also, check the output of tracert sitename, where sitename is a site such as www.CNN.com

I had this problem the other day with a Vista machine, the network driver was playing up. Go into the device manager, delete the network driver and then scan for hardware changes so that it finds it again and see if this resolves the issue.

lordbrett · 6th June 2009

The info i sent you was when it wasnt not working lol. others i woulda came back and poseted that here and say YAY its solved.....
Heres the info for tracert google.com

lordbrett · 6th June 2009

it went from intermitent problem to constant.

3zzi32008 · 6th June 2009

oh dear, thats not good. What about if you connect to your router with a network cable instead of wirelessly?? are you still unable to connect?

lordbrett · 7th June 2009

Driver delete didn't work

and when i plug it staraight in with cable it dows work But we borrowed the cable and it has to strech over 80 ft

Any suggestion networking gurus?

3zzi32008 · 7th June 2009

try using a different wireless card to ensure it isn't a hardware problem with your belkin wireless card.

**Arie** · 8th June 2009

Yea, sounds more like a hardware problem to me. It is not a DNS issue, as it successfully 'translates' www.google.com to 74.125.67.100

lordbrett · 19th June 2009

hmm so u suggest another network adapter?

**Arie** · 20th June 2009

Well, you got 2 people suggesting to try another adapter, so yea give it a try
