I get connection "local only" and then when I try to diagnose and repair he said: "it may be a problem with your domain name server (DNS) configuration. He said that this problem cannot be fixed automatically and I have no idea what to do.

How do you connect to the Internet (method/ISP)? What is a stand-alone computer or a corporate work station? What is the status of virus/malware of the machine? Please give us more details so that we can help you.

Troubleshooting Internet connectivity

1 answer to the first and second troubleshooting Questions:

First Question of troubleshooting: If the problem is new, what has changed between the time things worked and the time they do not have?

The second issue of Windows troubleshooting: what is the status of virus/malware of the machine? If you think it's clean, what programs (and versions) allows you to determine this?

Make sure that the computer is clean - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

Many variants of malware will allow a proxy server if you are unable to Internet. Go to control panel > Internet Options > connectivity tab > LAN button. If all is selected in the section Server Proxy, uncheck the box, apply/OK outside.

2. If nothing has changed and that the computer is clean, what antivirus/security programs are you running? Have AVG 8 or Zone Alarm? These two programs have had updates that caused Internet connectivity problems. I don't recommend either of these programs, but if you want to keep check them on the mftrs.' support websites.

3. If #2 is not applicable:

a. unplug the router.
b. disconnect the modem. (If you have a DOCSIS 3 modem with battery backup, press the Reset button to reset the modem so the lights go out).
c. wait 60 seconds.
d. plug the modem (or wait until the reboot is completed) and expect that all the lights are on.
e. plug the router and wait until all lights are on.

You now have an Internet connection? Otherwise:

4. connect your computer directly to the cable/DSL modem. You now have an Internet connection? If so, there is a problem with the router. They do not last forever. Replace it.

If there is no Internet when your computer is connected directly to the cable/DSL modem, call your ISP because something is wrong with the cable/DSL modem or your Internet service.

  • There might be a problem with the configuration of your DOMAIN NAME SERVER

    Last week one, I noticed some problems with my internet connection. I have a BSNL broadband connection. I am connected to the internet, and after some time all of a sudden, I'm not able to connect. My modem lights are all on and on my laptop, I see the symbol of 2 computers with a note on it, which means that I'm connected. But still the pages not displayed. When I run Network Diagnostics (I Windown Vista) I get the error message saying: "there could be a problem with the configuration of your DOMAIN NAME server. I turned off the computer and the modem and switch it on after a long time... He would return but loses the connection with the same error message again. What can I do? I tried to reset the modem, also tried the system restore. What can I do? Please help me. I have laptop Dell Insipiron with Windows Vista and I connect wireless.

    We do not know how your system should be set up - including the DNS configuration and settings.  I recommend you contact your ISP's technical support group and get help from them in the configuration of your computer (and test lines and modem - the problem could be the modem and not on the computer or it could even be the service provider itself).  It can be something as simple as a typo or a box checked or not checked - I do not know because I do not know their settings (different for each access provider).  Give them a call.  I do so often when I have connection problems, and they are almost always useful, or schedule a service call if they cannot help.  I think it's your best chance to solve this problem.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Whenever I try to connect to my internet I get 'local internet only' and when I try to repair it it says that there may be a problem with your dns server.

    problem with connecting to the internet

    whenever I try to connect to my internet I get 'local internet only' and when I try to repair it it says that there may be a problem with your dns server, I looked for a solution for centuries now, and no one can seem to help me! Please someone help me?

    Hello

    First off I'm going to assume that when you say "local internet only", you really mean "local only". Also, I'll assume you are using a router for internet connection broadband. If I am wrong, then you will have to describe the answer how you try to connect to the internet more in detail.

    First of all, your router. The indicators show that there is an internet connection? Consult the manual, which probably came on a CD with the router. Internet connection led can resemble a planet with rings or a circle with a lower-case i in the middle of it, or some other symbol. It can also have a caption saying 'internet' or 'connected '. If the router is not connected while your PC will not have access to the internet.

    Click the Start button and type "cmd" then press ENTER. In the window type (mainly black) which results in ipconfig and press to enter. Transcribe the results of the command ipconfig for a response.

    Your (wired or wireless) network card is set to automatically get an ip address? Otherwise, set it to do that and also to get information from DNS server automatically...

    • Right-click on the icon network at the bottom right of your screen, and then click Network and sharing Center
    • In network and sharing Center, click on manage the network connections (on the left)
    • Right click on 'Connect to the Local network' or 'Wireless Network Connection' depending on how you connect to the router
    • Click on select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), and then click the properties button
    • If things are not set to 'automatic', please note all numbers so that you can restore the settings if necessary
    • Make sure that "Obtain an IP address automatically" and 'DNS server automatically get an address' is selected, then click OK
    • Click on close

    If you are using a wireless connection, what happens if you try to connect to your router with an Ethernet cable?

    Please post back with your comments to the above and give more details about your configuration, i.e. router brand and model (or another material of Internet), if you connect wireless or with an Ethernet cable, etc. etc.

  • T400: Error Message - there was a problem connecting to the TPM secure

    Hello

    I am a new user of ThinkPad. I just got my T400 a week ago, and I'm a fan of him immediately. But there's this little thing that really bothers me. The second day I used my laptop, I got this error message: "There was a problem connecting to the module of TPM (safety device) on this computer", and I got this message since that date, every time I turn on my laptop.  What it means? And how do I get rid of this error message? Thank you!

    Moderator Note: Type + error message added to the line object for clarity.

    go into the bios and check if the TPM secure is enabled or disabled in the BIOS. Make sure it's on. If the problem persists then call Lenovo, could be a hardware problem.

  • In e-mails AOL, verification of the individual messages in the results of regular system in this error message: there was an error while loading the message. Please try again later.

    In access to AOL e-mail via the full version, I can navigate my account (old messages, new messages, spam, etc.) very well, but when I try to open an individual email, I get this error message: "there was an error while loading the message. Please try again later. »

    This is identical to a problem someone else was described in another thread... Unfortunately, nothing suggested you him seemed to work. I have BEEN cheated at the opening of a file attached to an e-mail immediately before this started, so I think it's a virus or something. IN ANY CASE... I AM able to open the messages when I use the basic version of AOL. Initially, the problem seemed to be in Firefox, but I tried with Internet Explorer now also and it's the same thing, and the basic version is accessible while the full version is still blocked.

    On both browsers, after the error message, I can't even click on individual posts to TRY to open another, and there are a few not-very-right boxes and the x and the things that appear on the screen that do not belong.

    Please tell me that you can not do that, go away... I tried uninstalling and reinstalling... Firefox who did not. I also enjoy McAffee, and that has not changed anything.

    You can do a check of malware with several digitization programs of malicious software on the Windows computer.

    Please scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.

    All of these programs have free versions.

    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.

    Alternatively, you can write a check for an infection rootkit TDSSKiller.

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    This sounds like the game that you are trying to reach has either some modules additional (mod/maps/scenarios) installed to which you don't have not or have some sort of update (once again that you do not have). Try to join another game or create your own.

    In addition, this can happen if you have changed your game executable by installing the hotfix that is not supported.
