Why my Dell laptop can connect to wifi but not get internet through it?

I have a dell vostro 3400 and I can connect to any wifi network, and while other computers can get internet through them, I can get a limited access. Also, I am running connectify (internet sharing program), a virtual wifi router and I can connect devices, but they cannot get internet through it (even if my laptop is via Ethernet). Is this a hardware problem? Software, OS? I got the model in more than a year and it has always worked perfectly... Thank you!

xael821,

Is there a reason that you do not have active DHCP.

Start, Control Panel, network and sharing Center. Click your network properties. Search for TCP/IPv4 and TCP/IPv6 and click Properties. Have your settings match mine.

  • Can connect to Ethernet, but not on WiFi

    Hello

    I have an Acer Aspire with Vista Home Basic 5735. Had for years. This weekend I decided to clean the laptop; I deleted a bunch of software that I use, with the installation of "Uninstall a program" in the Panel. I then did a disk cleanup, and then use the Disk Defragmenter.
    Now I can't connect to the internet via WiFi. I usually just turn on the laptop and it connects to my router. My router and the provider are unchanged for a few years now. Although when I click on "Connect To", it shows that I am connected, but with limited access. Limited access is actually no access, given that I can't open Chrome or any other software that requires a connection.
    I know that the router is fine, because my second laptop, a laptop, works great today by the VPN over WiFi, as he always does.
    I plugged in an ethernet cable, and with that I can get on the internet. I went through all the tips I've found - checking drivers corrupt, do a Windows Update, restart (several times), running the network on the network diagnostics, but nothing helped.
    I assume that in the weekend cleaning, I must have deleted a vital file. Any suggestions for how I can restore WiFi ability?
    Thank you

  • Cannot enter data on Web sites, can connect and discover, but not enter data

    I use Firefox for many years without any problems, but just recently, although I can connect to any site and discover anything, I can't enter data. For example if I type a comment on Facebook, I can't post, nothing happens. Similarly, I can make payments online through my line on the Bank's website. In the meantime, I use IE 11.0 instead of 35.0 Firefox but it's a nuisance. Any idea what could be the cause?

    Very strange, the problem is now gone, I can do messages and payments without problems that I mentioned at the outset. Only difference I can see, is that I now use Firefox 35.0.1. In any case, my problem disappeared, so I won't spend much time on development why it happened.
    However, thanks for the suggestion

  • LAN/Ethernet and wireless: can connect to networks, but shows "no Internet access.

    My workplace has cable/Ethernet and Wi - Fi.  I'm working on a laptop, plug it into a dock where my ethernet cable is connected.  Lately, I've been the startup object and the network will connect automatically (by default to connect to the local network, not for the wireless) but I get the point of the triangle/yellow exclamation on my network icon and displays "no Internet access.  Even if I get this warning message /, in fact, I can access the internet, but I can't access resources online through a program installed (such as, to access to the / insertion of a photo online by word or update a SharePoint Outlook calendar).

    In the past, I could connect wirelessly and work around this problem.  However, now my wireless connection does the same thing: it will connect, it displays the warning "no access Internet, I can access the internet, but not another program."

    I ran the resolution of problems and it does not identify the problem.  I've updated drivers, disconnected and reconnected networks - nothing seems to work.  Any ideas?

    Given that you encounter this work to your work network you really need to get your business COMPUTER Department to come and watch. As far as we know, there may be certain restrictions checked in your network permissions that must not checked. There is so much that can happen it is impossible to diagnose on an online forum.

  • Connected to wifi but not internet access and the unidentified network

    I can't connect to internet, I need quick help.

    Hello

    This screen that you took the photo, there should be a small link somewhere that says "view log" you can copy the text of the log file and send it to me?

    In this photo, however, the only thing I see is Homegroup questions, which are not generally associated with internet connectivity... but who knows?

    You can try to manually start the Homegroup provider service. To do this, go to the search box of the start menu and type services.msc and press ENTER. Find the services marked "Homegroup Provider Service" and "Listener Homegroup" Double click on each one and set to automatic startup type. Restart your computer. Let me know how it goes.

    One more thing to try is to clear your cache of DNS resolution. At the beginning of the search box go menu, type cmd and press to enter. Type ipconfig/flushdns press on enter, and then restart your computer.

    I hope this helps!

  • Laptop is connected to wifi, but still shows the yellow star and bars gray?

    Title says it all. I reinstall the drivers, changed the settings in the registry editor as someone on another forum suggested, remove all the accounts of the wifi and restarted the computer. No errors in Device Manager, Windows wifi connection software is the only one running. Internet works but it won't allow me to set up a virtual private network.

    In this case, I suggest contacting the manufacturer of your PC and report this problem to them. In addition, run full system scan with:

  • Satellite L300 connected to wifi but not internet

    Hello

    I just bought a laptop from a friend.
    When I try to connect to the internet it says its connected but won t a Web page and it says on the connection icon that it is connected to a wireless connection that is unidentified.

    I went through everything with my ISP, but they only changed so that I could communicate with a portable computer. When I need to contact 3 and phones, etc, all others were connected before I got this laptop!

    In any case he said ultimately it was something to do with the WLan security or something and for Toshiba phone and maybe it's just a download that I need, but I put t know where to start and can't find a number for Toshiba - please help

    Thank you

    Hello

    Guess what?
    Disable encryption settings (WEP, WPA, etc.) and the password on your WLan router and test the connection for laptop.
    If you are able to connect the laptop to the router and can access the internet then Wlan problems are certainly linked to the incorrect encryption settings.

    If you are not sure how to change it, check the manual which should be assured of always with the Wlan router.

    With OS6, you cannot set the browser to be just a HotSpot browser. You can do within OS5.

    Well, IF you are connected to a WiFi hotspot, your device will use the browser and that's it, not much else. Some applications like Opera Mini and Pandora radio will work on a single WiFi.
