heyy..i m having this problem on my hp laptop for couple of days now. the problem is my network tab shows that i m connected to internet but when i try opening a site it displays a msg sayin the site cannot be opened or u are not connected to internet or please check the address you have typed.Internet connects fine on my other desktop..but i cant browse while being connected to internet through my laptop...even when i try updating my antivirus it says cannot connect to server. i tried pinging on IP4 but it displays 1231 error code..recieved packages being zero n 100% loss... i cant understand y its not happening even though i m connected to internet...

The problem i reckon started when my isp changed the ip address to dynamic settin..ie get my ip addr automatically..i did tht too..both on my laptop n desktop..desktop can connect but laptop cant. i did ipconfig/El reset n everything but doesnt work..

I talked with my isp admin..they say i m connected to internet according to them..which i no as i can c i m connected to internet.

can anyone pls help me on this issue.. i have scanned restored n changed the settings.. but problem still persists..The operating system on my laptop is vista n on my desktop is XP.

Please help..

Hi
How are you connected to the Internet?
Do you have a Router, or you are connected directly to the Modem.
Check the TCP/IP setting it might be that there is No DNS configuration if
you are not on Auto Obtain.

no jack..settings and everything are fine. I've put it it auto update.. both dns n ip..doesn't work..i manually also gave values for both after confirming it with my isp but no avail. i m connected directly to the modem. is there any ray of light?? i m not able to guess wut is causing such a problem. can it be isp sided...as if they restrict the connection to just one computer. i asked them but they dint wanna divulge the information. wut do u think?
