timmy43016 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 I cannot hit the net from my pc...only wireless works throughout the house. I have unhooked the wireless router and hooked the pc up directly to the surfboard. I can ping myself, the gateway, and the DNS. Ping was dropping half of the packets when pinging DNS until i /flushdns. After I flushed, i get replies all day from ping. I can see that I have access to the net on the task bar, but page is not displayed. Security logs dont display anything. I have tried both Fire fox and IE. Defender, Adaware, Spybot and Norton come up with nothing. I can however download security updates. Network discovery is on and my home netwrok is listed as private. I cant think of anything else to try...any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Open a command prompt. Ping http://www.cisco.com if that doesn't work it could be DNS, ping 198.6.1.2, if that doesn't work you got some kind of internet access problem. If you can ping 198.6.1.2, set that to your DNS server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmy43016 Posted July 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 i can ping 198.6.1.2, but cant ping by name. Set DNS to same and no joy. Wireless works around the house and I can connect to net wirelessly...just not wired. I cant figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Sounds like your router has something wacky with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfunnyryan Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Sounds like a shit router to me. If your router is compatible, it may be worth a shot to see if you can install DD-WRT on it (hacked firmware) and the router may still have some life to it.

timmy43016 Posted July 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 i rebooted the router for the 15th time and it sprung to life. I will go buy a new router today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
