Windows Vista Home cannot access the internet - I tried ipconfig/flushdns, returned message "requires a rise."

I have built in wireless antenna on my Dell s3120n, which is connected to a modem 7500 Westell, internet remote access. Once I unplug the dsl cable I have only local broadband access, no internet.  Not sure if my wireless antenna work either (adapter wireless 802. 11 b/g), I downloaded the updated driver and installs to USB ports and antenna on my desktop but the ports will not recognize an inserted USB adapter.  Help, please

Hello

You can refer to the following steps:

Step 1.
1 connect to your router (by typing 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 in the address bar) and connect. Check your user manual or documentation if you don't know the references of logon.
2. make sure that you are in Setup-> basic configuration category.
3. scroll down until you see "DHCP Server" - if it is disabled, select 'enable '.
4 enable DHCP if you want, you can change the number that starts the DHCP IP setting. (This is optional)
5. use the DNS servers provided by your ISP. There are many DNS servers out there. It is preferable to use your ISP if possible.
6. scroll and click 'Save Settings'.

Step 2.
1. click Start and then click Control Panel.
2. go in network and sharing Center , then click on change the parameters of the map.
3. right click on Local area connection and choose Properties.
4 Select Internet Protocol Version 6 , and then click Properties.
5. click on DNS server automatically get an address , then press OK.
6 select automatically an IP address to get.
7. repeat the steps for Internet Protocol version 4 as well.

  • Cannot access the internet on a network Windows XP when Windows 7 goes to sleep

    Original title: Windows 7 Windows XP network problem.

    I replaced a Windows XP computer on my node 4 (2 PC, printer 2) cable network with a Windows 7 computer.  When the Windows 7 computer in mode 'sleep' the other (XP) computer cannot access the internet.  A message appears that there are 2 computers with the same IP address.  If I wake the computer 7 fine.  That is what it is?  I agree not all files between the computers.

    Hello

    It is usually the case when, for example, a router is off, but one or more of the devices connected to the router are left on.

    The devices to retain the ip address assigned to them, but when the router starts up again it has no knowledge of this. If when you start one of the other devices, the router can assign an ip address already in use. Concrete example that I reproduced with my router and the PC...

    • Start the router, then boot PC1 and PC2 - the router (192.168.1.1) will allocate for PC1 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3 to PC2
    • Turn off the router, then turn off PC2, restart and shut off again
    • Put the PC1 to sleep
    • Start the router and PC2, the router does not PC1 and allocate 192.168.1.2 to PC2
    • PC1 to wake up and there still 192.168.1.2 who now is a confrontation with PC2

    Other ways to reproduce this situation may also be possible.

    All devices on your network must have a unique ip address, where the warning message.

    If you get this situation once again, the solution is to turn off all devices, including the router, then restart the router, then restart all devices connected to the router.

    To avoid this, you may be able to put ip Reservations for your router address which will ensure that all devices connected to the router always get the same ip address (unique). If you are unsure how to proceed, we will need your router brand and model to help.

  • Cannot access the internet with bridged network - Windows 7 64 bit host, XPSP3 comments

    I use VMPlayer v3.0.1 build-227600 on a PC under Windows 7 64-bit. My guest operating system is Windows XP Professional w/SP3.

    I read all the messages on the use of NAT for the guest operating system can access the internet. But when I do that my guest is unable to access my Oracle server on my network. If I use Bridged my guest can access my Oracle server, but it cannot access the internet! How can I fix it? Shouldn't VMPlayer allow the guest OS to access the network and the internet? I need these two features.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    the simplest solution would be to add a second NIC to your comments, so that you can have bridged and NAT at the same time

    Hello

    Updates must be installed in a certain order and no Service Pack must be installed unless and until it is offered through Windows Update.

    However, try these options:

    Step 1: You can not reuse what already automatically downloaded and installed. You can however save updates and install them manually if you wish.

    Step 2: You can create a system image on the computer. A system image is an exact copy of a disc. By default, a system image includes the drives required for Windows to run. In addition, it includes Windows and your system settings, programs and files. You can use a system image to restore the contents of your computer if your hard drive or computer ever stops working.
