Re: Sudden Internet failure
I can't imagine this being the BIOS, since it obviously worked at some point using the same BIOS.
Have you tried both wired and wireless connections? Do both fail?
When you've been connected, then can't connect, I'd like to see the following.
Try these simple tests.
Hold the Windows key and press R, then type CMD to open a command prompt:
Type the following commands, one at a time, followed by the Enter key:
IPCONFIG
PING <computer_IP_address>
PING <default_gateway_address>
PING 216.109.112.135
PING yahoo.com
Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.
Paste the results in a message here.
<computer_IP_address> - The IP Address of your computer, obtained from the IPCONFIG command above.
<default_gateway_address> - The IP address of the Default Gateway, obtained from the IPCONFIG command above.
If you are on a machine with no network connection, use a floppy, USB disk, or a CD-RW disk to transfer a text file with the information to allow pasting it here.
Let's see this as well.
Hold the Windows key and press R, then type CMD to open a command prompt:
Type the following command:
IPCONFIG /ALL
Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.
Paste the results in a message here.
If you are on a machine with no network connection, use a floppy, USB disk, or a CD-RW disk to transfer a text file with the information to allow pasting it here.
