I have the LAN cable plugged in from my cable modemn, the connection icon shows that it is connected, but it is not connecting to any sites when I click on the explorer icon. I have typed in ipconfig at the command prompt and it seems like everything is in place with the Ip address and what not. It only shows a very little amount of data recieved as opposed to data sent when I click on the connectivity icon though. Can anyone diagnose this problem for me or give me some suggestions, I am starting to get pissed and I am thinking about throwing my PC out the window. |

Two things; do a "ipconfig /all" to confirm: 1- You have the right DNS addresses and that these are responding to pings 2- Verify you have the correct gateway IP address (your broadband carrier's gateway not your own local firewall/router if you have one). Ping it. Those are the two easy, simple steps to be done. |

Can your PC ping the router? Can it ping the routers default gateway? Can it ping things out on the big bad Internet? Are you running a software firewall? Assuming you're running Windows, the Windows firewall loves to turn itself on and start blocking all sorts of things... make sure it's off. |
Yeah, I've done that multiple times and it dosen't help, I am at work right now, so I can't do anything right this minute but I am printing off stuff left and right to take home to try, including this thread. |
