Hello,
I have been experiencing problems with my home computer after we had a power outage last night. My computer is connected to a router, which is connected to a Xbox 360 and connected wirelessly to a laptop that is also Windows Vista. Both the Xbox 360 and Laptop can connect to the internet, but my Home PC does not and says "limited or no connectivity." I even unplugged my router and directly connected the ethernet cable to my Home PC and it still doesn't work. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help me resolve this problem. - Sean |

We have seen some cases like this one. You may need to reset
router/modem/switch. Please post back with the result. -- Bob Lin, MS-MVP, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on http://www.HowToNetworking.com "Sean" wrote in message ...

Hello,
I know how to reset the router, but I'm not quite sure how to reset the modem and what do you mean by switch? "Robert L. (MS-MVP)" wrote: We have seen some cases like this one.

I'm having a similar problem as well. I have 3 computers all hooked up to a
router. 2 of them work, but the third doesn't, even though the settings are very much the exact same. I tried swapping connection cables and everything, but it's still a problem. I'm figuring it's a hardware problem directly in the computer. "Sean" wrote: Hello, I know how to reset the router, but I'm not quite sure how to reset the modem and what do you mean by switch?

Hi
Try to switch Off every thing. Then unplug the modem from the power, wait 2 minutes. Plug the Modem. When the light are stable and indicate that there is a connection start the Router, and then start the computer. If the lights on the Modem do not indicate normal operation contact your ISP.
