Help me access the internet

[asilvester635]

Basically I'm having trouble accessing my internet. Basically my computer says that I'm connected but when i try and access the internet it says server not found. I checked my computer and my default gateway is missing, i think this is the reason why i can't access the internet, isn't default gateway the same thing as your routers ip address? Anybody have any idea on how to fix this problem.

Yes, the default gateway would be your router that connects to the Internet.

Have you got your connection settings set to Automatic?

how do i check if i have it on automatic?

 

[voyagerfan99]

In your TCP/IP settings, it should be set to Automatic for both the IP address and DNS addresses.

and how do i find my routers ip address?

 

[asilvester635]

yes my local area connection is set automatically

I don't have a default gateway for my wireless network connection

The default gateway should be set automatically.

I found this on the internet.... how would setting these settings on automatic affect my laptop?




Dhcp is not enabled.
Any hardware/software changes prior to the connectivity issue ?

Make sure all these are started:



Check your Services are Started on all PCs:
• COM+ Event System (for WZC issues)
• Computer Browser (computer browser will start when needed)
• DHCP Client
• DNS Client
• Network Connections
• Network Location Awareness
• Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
• Server
• TCP/IP Netbios helper
• Wireless Zero Configuration (XP wireless configurations)
• WLAN AutoConfig (Vista wireless configurations)
• Workstation

Note: You can check the services in Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services.

All of these services should be started, and their startup type should be automatic
If a service is not running, open it's properties and check the dependencies. Check each of the dependencies and see which one is preventing the service from running. Checking the event log is also a good idea here, there may be clues to what is failing.

See my previous post!

In your TCP/IP settings, it should be set to Automatic for both the IP address and DNS addresses.

Also, did you check all those things that the article you copied and pasted mentioned? Have you made any changes to the machine lately?

 

[asilvester635]

It is set automatically, but still nothing... But what i need is the default gateway for my wireless network connection

Why do you need the default gateway? It is assigned automatically.

Do this...

Open a command prompt and type Ipconfig /all and hit enter.

There is a space between the g and the /

Post a screenshot of the output it gives you.
