  • No internet connection AFTER startup, but only works during the boot.

    Hi all

    Have a Win XP MCE (Media Center Edition) Dell laptop running.  I can only connect to internet when the system is even start, and I click on the shortcut to IE or Firefox. Once the system completes the startup it connects me to the internet WITHOUT problem & with good signal and good connection speeds.  System connect wirelessly through a Linksys router.

    If I left the initialization of the system ended up - and I'm trying to connect to IE or Firefox - the hourglass appears for a minute and then disappears and I get no connection!

    This means that I must always start the internet connection while system is always initialize, and if I end the connection I get only back to restart system in place and opening connection when appear the icons on the desktop for IE or Firefox!

    I am puzzled by this and have no idea what to do to solve the problem!
    TNX a lot!

  • Cannot get internet connection through wireless network

    I have a Sony VAIO laptop that came with Vista 32 bit and went from 7 Home Premium 32 bit.  I connect to the internet via my Ethernet via a DSL modem with no problems.  When I try to use the edge Intel 4965AGN wireless to connect to my DLink 655 Wireless N Gigabit router, it appears that it connects to the network, but there is no internet connection.  Both the router and the edge Intel have the latest drivers and the encryption is set on AES, WPA2-Personal.  Some additional information:

    I have desktop computer Dell with a DLink USB WiFi and it connects to the network and gets internet

    I constantly get the message from Windows saying: Windows has detected an IP address conflict with another computer on the network.  I restarted the router several times to no effect.

    In network and sharing Center (of course the troubleshooting network said he found nothing) the network appears as a Public and unidentified and it gives me no option to change it to a home network.

    I tried to connect to other networks public wireless (hotspots) and I can't connect it

    Hello

    Something is wrong with the TCP/IP parameters.

    Autoconfiguration IPv4 address:169.254.1 52.88
    IPv4 subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
    Autoconfiguration IPv4 address: 192.168.0.1
    IPv4 subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
    IPv4 default gateway:

    This 169.254.1 52.88 is the IP by default Windows assigns when there is no DHCP server, this isn't a working IP address.

    The second IP address is the IP address of the Wired card. That is why router conflicted reports.

    Configure the two cards for full Auto obtain IP and DNS.

    Then do a WinSock and TCP/IP updating.

    Type Cmd in the search text box.

    Press Ctrl-Shift-Enter keyboard shortcut to run a command as administrator prompt.  Allow the elevation.

    Type netsh winsock reset at the command prompt and press the Enter key.

    Do the same process to refresh the TCP/IP just replace the command typed with.

    netsh interface ipv4 reset Press enter

    netsh interface ipv6 reset Press enter

    ipconfig/flushdns press Enter

  • Internet connection no longer works unless I have disconnect and reconnect the wifi regularly

    I find that after a time random, maybe twenty minutes a half an hour or so, my internet connection breaks down and it can only be fixed by disconnecting and reconnecting to my wifi network.

    It is a problem on my iMac of retina 2014 running El Capitan and 2011 MacBook Air my wife running Mountain Lion (but not on my MacBook Air of 2011 which takes place in Yosemite).

    It does not seem to be triggered by almost anything, but it's maddening to have to do all the time. It's a router NetGear btw, less than a year.

    If anyone has a solution I'd love to hear it!

    Greetings, peederjigson!

    Welcome to the communities of Apple Support! It seems you have some problems to stay connected to the Wi - Fi on some of your devices. This is not how it is supposed to work so I'll be happy to help you.

    Use the Diagnostics wireless for you help to solve the problems of Wi-Fi on your Mac - even with a new router, the firmware may need to be updated. But this article can go a long way to point out where it is.

    The potential of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth interference sources - because this is not the case with all your devices, it could be other things blocking the signal. Here are a few potential sources.

    Recommended settings for the WiFi routers and access points - because your router is "-ish" make sure that the settings are correct.

    Have a great day!

  • How to switch to safari 9.1 without internet connection

    I've recently upgraded to El Capitan on my 2009 mac. Fine, except that now, I find my version of safari (6.6) is not compatible with El Capitan and I have no internet connection. How to switch to safari 9.1 without being able to download it? Can I get a disk with on or something?

    Safari is upgraded when you upgrade your system. There is no installer for stand-alone for Safari. If you run El Capitan your Safari should be version 9.1.2. Otherwise apply the OS X Combo Update 10.11.6.

    The Combo update is a complete installation, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update, so you have to overwrite all files are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have previously applied. All your data and settings must be kept, but that said, you should always have a backup.

  • Internet connection is unstable

    Hello
    For a week now, my internet connection Firefox has been unstable. Usually, after you open a new tab, I need to click the 'Try' again on the 'server not found' - several times (5-10) to finally create a connection to the page.

    I use Firefox on Win XP Pro SP3 39.0. Firewall settings look ok. Protection of navigation and the virus is F-Secure (to date).
    Unfortunately the problem seems not to have an impact on Firefox only (Chrome access to electronic mail and Outlook are similarly unstable).

    I use a shared via a Windowsphone wifi connection and can connect with the browser of the phone without problem (so I don't think that the problem is associated with ISP).

    I did a scan complete antivirus without reported problems.

    Any advice would be welcome. Thank you!

    It seemed to me a solution by changing the definitions of DNS server. I unchecked obtain DNS server addresses automatically and specified in quinquonce and the preferred DNS server addresses (used 8 8 8 8 8 8 4 4 respectively).

  • How to prevent the download of the images (when the internet connection is bad)

    In ancient times, it was possible to download only the text, no images, in order to speed up downloading of Web pages. Now I can't find the 'switch' to do this. My problem is that sometimes - when I'm on the (German) campaign - internet connection is so bad that the download takes a long time or fails completely.
    I use firefox with ubuntu 39.0...

    This option is no longer available in the standard options, but it still exists in the advanced configuration. 'Text only' value, enter "subject: config" in the URL bar, accept the warning, search for "permissions.default.image" and change the value of 1 (default) 2. To restore the display of images, even to change the value from 2 to 1.
