Why Won’t My Computer Detect That The Router Is Connected To The Internet?
Published by javagee February 8th, 2010 in routerI have a PC running Vista (unwillingly) and although it is connected to the router, it won’t load any webpages. Other computers connected the the same router have no problems (that’s how I’m posting this). The network map shows the computer connected the router, but not the router connected to the internet. What’s wrong?
Try these steps.
=
Connect Modem to Router to PCs.
Set router POWER OFF.
Reset modem: With a straightened paperclip, press RESET button momentarily.
Wait 60 secs.
Set router POWER ON.
Reset router: With a straightened paperclip, press RESET button momentarily.
Wait 60 sec.
PC Command Line:
Click [Start] - Click [Run...] - enter: cmd, Click [OK]
At the prompt (c:…..>) enter: ipconfig /release, press [ENTER]
At the prompt (c:…..>) enter: ipconfig /renew, press [ENTER]
TEST: Connect to Internet.
If SUCCESS: Repeat Steps after PC Command Line on your other PCs.
If NO SUCCESS:
At the prompt (c:…..>) enter: ipconfig /all, press [ENTER]
Ensure DHCP Enabled == YES
If IP Address == 0.0.0.0 OR 169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.255, connect PC (wired) to router (if possible) or modem and perform ALL steps again.
