Help - I need internet connection help!?
Questions/Comments : We have a home Dell B130 lap-top
computer. We recently purchased my daughter an Acer Vista (home edition) lap-top computer. We only have one Actiontec GT701 Modem for the internet connection. What we have been doing is sharing the internet connection box. When we need it, we use our CAT5e cord. When my Daughter needs it, we unplug ours and then plug in the one that connects into her lap-top. Just over the past week, my daughters has stopped displaying the web pages. It does show that it is connected, but will not show any of the web pages that we try to log on to. I've checked per the suggested help instructions and everything seems to be set-up properly. Will my problem be resloved if we purchase a router rather than sharing the one line? Her computer will no longer connect. Her computer does suggest upgrading, but I can't even get to the internet to do that. I've even taken it to a local wireless cafe and it won't even connect. HELP!!! Ads |

Check firewall settings on the computer itself. They might be blocking the internet connection altogether and it would be the same with or without a wireless connection.
Also, I had a similar problem on a wireless connection with my Wii. Everything else connected to the internet just fine except for the game system. It kept saying there was no connection. So I upgraded the firmware for both the modem and the wireless router (you can get instructions from Qwest on how to update the modem, same for whatever company produces the router if you purchase one) and everything worked fine after that. |
