Thread: My PC Does not connect to the internet using local area connection or wireless HELP!

Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults: netsh winsock reset catalog
This step went fine.

Reset IPv4 TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log
This step couldnt reset echo request and said access denied, but the rest of it said ok!

Reset IPv6 TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log
None of this step worked because it had the same error as the ipv4 with the access denied but also it didnt do the rest as it said there was no specified settings to reset.

I definately ran it as admin, no idea why it said no permission.

However i reset my computer after doing all of them again and got the ipconfig /all . This is it:

As stated earlier the router is fine and when i reset it im able to connect to the internet for a breif second before it goes to local.

I pray somebody can find a fix

No expert on internet connections but found this advice;
Right click on the Internet Icon in the task bar click on “Open Network and Sharing Center”

Click on “Change Adapter Setting”

Right click on the “Local Area Connection” or “Wireless Network Connection” – Properties

In the “Local Area Connection Properties” or “Wireless Network Connection window all boxes

will be ticked

Windows Vista & Windows 7 contains both the familiar IPv4 stack and the new IPv6 stack.

you do not need IPv6 at present disabling IPv6 in Vista & Windows 7 will help to speed up the

connection on your broadband service

In the “Local or Wireless Network Connection”, you need to un-check the following items

“Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)”

“Link-Layer Topology Discovery Mapper I/O Driver”

“Link-Layer Topology Discovery Responder”

Click-Internet Protocol (TCP/IPv4) Click the “Properties” button

Select “Obtain an IP address automatically

Select “Obtain DNS server address automatically”

Click- Advanced-Click-WINS Tab-Tick-Enable LMHOSTS Lookup if un-tick

At the top of display the type of Lan card will be displayed

Click Configure – Click - Advanced Tab

Click- Connection Type - Change to “Auto- Negotiation”

Click- Flow Control-Change to “Hardware Default (Auto)”

Click-Power Management Tab

Un-Tick if selected "Allow Computer to turn this device off to save power

Click “OK”.

After altering some settings you'll need to close and reopen the window in 'network and sharing center' otherwise settings won't save, then go to next step.
Hope it helps.

Just a silly question here -
"Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0"
Usually that is 255.255.255.0 - just checking....if all the other computers are on 255.255.0.0 then forget I mentioned it.
