Ok i had an update for Zone alarm today.. everything was fine until then. After the pdate i find i have no net connection at all. I can connect on my LAN but i cannot get an internet connection from the one machine with the update on it. So thinking that zone labs had screwed my settings i uninstalled it.... Well no luck still no net!
Pinged the router.. fine no poblems, can connec to other pc on LAN (one im using now) but just no net.

So i ring my ISP. Do what they tell me. try to reset the DNS on the PC. They give me a new DNS address to try. That all pings fine but still no net!

So what have they decided? That zonelabs has screwed my TCI/IP settings in windows some how mesing the DNS up. Solution? do a system restore or windows repair on the comp.

So anyoe got another idea to try before i do that?

I've heard from others that ZoneAlarm can do this - but not experienced it myself.

Can you ping anywhere on the 'net with IP rather than a name?

Did they get you to do "netsh int ip reset"?

What does the output of ipconfig /all look like?

So many questions...

Harry.

 

They did get me to do the reset and it didnt work.

no i cant ping net using FQDN's such as www.yahoo.com

On ipconfig /all

windows ip config
host name.... twizz
primary dns suffix....
ip routing enabled.....no
wins proxy enabled....no

dhcp enabled.......no
ip address......192.168.1.3
subnet mas.....255.255.255.0
default gateway....192.168.1.1
dns servers......192.168.1.1
.......192.106.56.6
........192.106.33.3
add to this that even tho i can ping the router if i type its address in IE it will not connect..get usual DNS error message for explorer

 

have you been playing with ipv6?

[edit] hmm, you edited the ipconfig /all result in your post. now you have a fixed address. so what is it?

 

what i posted under ipconfig is all i see... no other fixed addresses listed.

 

but before you edited your post, it said this:

that's an ipv6 address. i mean, you posted it yourself, and i'm sure you didn't make it up, and neither did i. hence my question, have you been playing with ipv6?

 

Er - no - I asked if you could ping places on the 'net with IP, not FQDN. Try it and see...

Harry.

 

No i cant ping Ip addresses on the net.
All i can ping is the router and the other pc on the LAN.


Have tried uninstalling / reinstaling network card...
nothing seems to be working...

 

If you can ping the router - but nothing beyond then the router is the problem!

Harry.

 

cant be the router as this pc is also on the LAn and using that router to connec to NET. Its just one PC that cant out of the 2. Both us same router, both can access each other, just the one cannot get net aces and no IE6, just teh dns error message.

 

i wasn't going to reply anymore, but i do want to point out that the dns servers displayed in your ipconfig (192.106.56.6 and 192.106.33.3) seem to be located in italy, and do not respond when i try to contact them from here.

 

You could check that the router has no IP filtering features i.e. to control internet access via IP. also some routers allow you to enforce Zonealarm security features (as long as Zonealarm is running on a LAN PC.

Other than that have you done:

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns

In that order

You could always delete your current DNS setup and start again from scratch.

EDIT: Just seen d's post, and I must admit I did wonder why your ipconfig results were showing external DNS servers, at home my results only point to my internal DNS server, if that can't resolve the hostname it then looks outside the LAN, my router only displays external DNS address's

 

Nelix, i've tried all those switches....
for the 1st 2 i get message.....
The operation has failed as no adaptor is in the state possible forthis operation

Flusdns says...
Successfully flushed DNS resolver cache

and register DNS seems to have worked too....

My current Ipconfig /all shows

DHCP eneabled....No
Ip address........192.168.1.3
subnet mask....255.255.255.0
default gatewa .....192.168.1.1
DNS Servers........192.168.56.6
.........192.168.33.3 these 2 addys were given to me by my ISP over the phone an hour ago

However on the working PC it shows taht DHCP is enabled as is Auto config. And teh DNS server address is that of the router. Ans shows teh DHCP server being the same.. SO is it DHCP tahts the problem?

Im close to reinstalling windos due to all this!!

 

If you have a DHCP server configured in the router then you should enable the DHCP client in the machine.

On 'properties' for TCP/IP set 'get IP auto' and 'get DNS auto'

Harry.

 

OK Hary when i do that and try ipconfig i get

DHCP enabled... yes
Default gateway....... Nothing here
And NO DNS listed (dosent even mention dns this time)

And still no connection to the net on that one PC....

Anyone know how to reinstall TCP/IP on XP? cant uninstall it from Network -Local area connection- properties as its greyed out.

 

Please can you show the *full* output from ipconfig /all now - it's very hard to diagnose when you leave large lumps out!

To reset TCP/IP back to default the usual command is "netsh int ip reset".

Harry.

 

ok here it is in ful (i hope lol) with DNS and IP address set to AUTO

Windows Ip Configuration

Host name...........:Twizz
Primary DNS suffix.........:
Node type...........:Unknown
Ip routing Enabled......:No
Wins Proxy Enabled.........:No

Ethernet Adaptor Loacl area connection 5:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix.....:
description............:Nvidia nforce mcp Netwrking controller
Physical address.........:00-0e-a6-15-11-02
DHCP enebled...........:YES
Autoconfig enebled.......:Yes
Auto confi IP address......:192.168.1.3
Subnet mask.............:255.255.255.0
Deafult Gateway.........:


Only difference when i set the DNS is no DHCP enebled and DNS server addresses are as previously show (192.168.1.1 or 192.106.56.6)
And i have tried to reset the TCP/Ipusing the netsh command

However on the working PC everything is as it should be...

 

First - to make life easier and avoid lots of typing - you can redirect the output of ipconfig to a file and copy the file here!

Now - on the 'advanced' button - IP settings tab under TCP/IP properties there should be no 'hard set' value entered - it should be automatic.

In a CMD box do 'ipconfig /release', followed by 'ipconfig /renew'

Then check ipconfig /all again.

Harry.

 

What is the redirect command Harry?

 

Er - this goes back to MSDOS!

In this case: ipconfig /all > info.txt

For use on limited size windows you can use the pipe symbol:

ipconfig /all | more
