I can connect to the internet, but not to my home network
I have a PC running Windows XP SP3, which is connected to a Linksys WRT300N router. I have access to the internet. I can not connect to my home network; don't know what happened. all (3) computers are set to the same workgroup name. I can't find anywhere in the network settings for WinXP that relates my network name. Help!
Thanks for any help you can provide.
John
I guess that the other two computers are working properly and that it can network together and that the only problem is the XP machine. I'm also assuming that this problem persists when the firewall was disabled (including hidden like the one in the Cisco VPN client). I also assume you mean by "is no longer connect to my home network" that you can't see other computers in your network neighborhood. See if this article helps you:
"You can't see the other computers in the workgroup on the network on a Windows XP computer"

If this does not help, try to walk your way through the following:

Able to connect to the Internet, but not be able to access router settings
I can connect to the Internet fine, ping works, but I can't connect to the router settings.

Hey Harpo1! Try to access the configuration page using a computer connected to the router. If it does not connect to the page, reboot the router and use a different web browser could help. You can also try to temporarily unplug the modem and see if you can access it.

I did the following steps:
1. create a user
2. assign the Group root (remove all the other group of the user)
What's my not just?
Thank you!
It is the way to do it. Either you must be part of the root group to be given to the role admin (or a bespoke) at the level of the host to access the DCUI.
If you create a user is added to the root group, but is assigned all permissions (either singularly or through a group) on the host then, then the user will be able to connect to the DCUI but not the client vSphere (or any other method of the API).

Just bought new HP with Windows 8 desktop computer, and it connects to the internet through a wired connection. However, sometimes when you try to connect, the message "you are not connected to a network rises, then it usually connects." This message also may appear when trying to back up a new web page.
Disabled the antivrus, no change. Plugged a laptop using the same modem and connections with no problems at all, so there seems to be something specific with this new desktop computer.
Any suggestions on how to stop this sporadic message appear?

Connected to the internet, but not connected network magic shows
My network is connect to the internet, both wired and wireless. On the compputer connected by magic cable network shows not connected, but I am connected. Unable to print remotely. Router shows connected but the network card is not.
Thank you
After reading your response, I decided to uninstall and reinstall the program. Thought it would be a little easier. I felt that the problenm was that the program had been damaged but hesitate to reinstall it because I downloaded from the internet several years ago and could not find the product key. I finally found the program cisco and the location of the key and now works. Not as sexy but effective.
Thank you once again

I can connect to the internet, but cannot stay connected to thn over 10 to 15 minutes.
After I changed my MiFi for a Verizon 890 L 4 G LTE Verizon internet access I can access the internet for about 10 to 15 minutes. He stops abruptly, but when looking at the network and sharing Center to watch I am always connected. When I run the troubleshooting it says that there is no problem. When I look in the detail section of the troubleshooting it is said that there may be a problem, but there is no additional information available. The thing really strange is that my wife and I have exactly the same computers and the OS and his computer has no problem to stay connected. I found a update for my card driver and it made no difference. I am at a loss now other solutions. I also put the hotspot in WPS mode hoping it would reconfigure the communication between it and my laptop, it made no difference. Help please.

I can connect to the Internet, but shortly after, I can't do anything online.
IM using a zone reactive Verizon MIFI to connect to internet. After having connected and go to a few pages, my computer says im always connected however, I can not anywhere. I get the message that this page cannot be displayed. When I turn the exact box even the provider of my mother on it works great every time. IM in a 3G area, so I wonder if it has something to do with my settings on the computer. IM using a Toshiba laptop equipped with Windows 7.
Hi Mandy_Kirk,
· Did you do changes on the computer before the show?
· What web browser do you use?
· The problem occurs with any particular Web site?
Follow these methods.
Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software .
Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
Method 2: Follow these steps:
Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode with network and check if the problem persists.
Step 2: If the problem does not persist in safe mode with networking, perform a clean boot to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow step 7 the link to start the computer to a Normal startupmode.
Method 3: Follow the steps in the article.

I am fully connected to the Internet, but when I click on my home page and even several other pages, including Windows Live Mail, I get an error message that my DNS server is not responding. How can I work around this problem and to connect to the Internet anyway?
You want to be sure that you use the right setting for your DNS server. You can move this in your browser using the digital URL for the what you want to access web sites. You will find them by using the PING command at the command prompt. Hold the Windows key and press R. Then type CMD and press ENTER. Then enter for example to get the address of the web site of MS PING WWW.MICROSOFT.COM.
Unless otherwise directed by your Internet service provider, you want TCP/IP settings to "obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically". To do this click Start-> Control Panel-> Network Center and sharing-> view status.
Then click on properties.
From there, click on Internet Version 6 Protocol and properties.
Click on the two radio buttons to "obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically". Click OK.
Then click Internet Version 4 Protocol and make the same changes in what concerns the version 6.
I hope this helps. Good luck.
Good luck.
