Make sure u don't have a static IP address in ur network configuration. Goto properties for ur network adaptor then I think u select tcp/ip. Cnt remember exactly. Wht the netbook doing with xp tho?

seconded ,windows 7 ftw

help wise try a hard restart on the netbook (turn off wireless,take out batt3 and reboot)

^that usually works if my netbook sees any problem

You could also check and see if the firewall on the netbook has by accident been set to block your browser from accessing the net

Agreed.

OP you could try right clicking on the wireless connectivity icon and then click "Repair".

wrap netbook in foil

I am actually at a hot spot area and I am connected to the net right now with the netbook....

Its just at home I am connecting to the router but no internet activity.........

Im thinking its XP being the problem as all other laptops and devices home run other OS.....

Actually it's the proxy settings on the LAN config...... It's in options in the ie, wrench in chrome.... Or ie go under connections an LAN settings and make sure the proxy option is greyed out... For chrome it's somewhere there.... I believe it's bypass proxy... When i reach my desktop I'll let u kno for sure

You verified no static ip?
If you have one and the gateway so happens to be that of the hotspot and not your home router, that's your issue there.

this sounds logical......may have to manually put in an ip...?

[skylinechild]

check adapter settings. make sure it's set to automatic IP and automatic DNS....

go in internet explorer and check under LAN settings and uncheck use proxy settings and check use automatic settings.

if youre getting through on a hotspot that means that the actual internal wireless adapter is fine.
is just your configuration is poor.

can you ping google.com?

[*$kїđž!™]

nuthins happening at home redman

[Crazymofo]

Yuh pay yuh internet bill?

[jm3]

tis looks like a dns problem as others staed check that it is automatically applied. also access your router 192.168.1.1 in the address bar check that it isn't blocked on the router firewall

[*$kїđž!™]

u read the original post?......Everything all other devices are connecting except the net book

[jm3]

yes that is why you should check it is not blocking the netbook

nothing wrong with the router, its the netbook. yu try rebooting it or plugging into the router using a lan cable to see if it will work?

[maj. tom]

//Press the hard reset button on the router for 1 second till power LED blinks.
//Check your netbook adapter settings and make sure the IPV4 settings on "automatic."
//Make sure that no one has blocked your client ip address on the router.
//Make sure DCHP is enabled on the router.
//Is it connecting with a LAN cable? Then the wifi card may have squeaked.

-->Well then you need a new Wifi Card. You can get a good one on ebay for about $10USD in 4 -6 weeks China. Happened to me and I bought the same Realtek wireless model that went dead just like a dog crossing the highway. Easy to change yourself too. Plenty youtube videos to help you.


->>>On another note, install a Linux on your netbook. Ubuntu will give your XP netbook new life. It's not hard to use at all. It's free too. Or try Mint.

this.run a cable direct and see if you get access

[Mark!]

Throw netbook at router

[redmanjp]

if its a dns issue u should be able to ping IPs like 196.3.132.8 (tstt) and get through

do a trace route also

in a command prompt type

tracert 196.3.132.8

dont let people tell you that pack of sheit.
Anyone who says that just not technically inclined and would rather have the os troubleshoot the problem because they cant, even tho the os troubling shooting the problem has as much luck solving it as a 5 year old.

I didnt read the entire thread but do you have dhcp turned on, on the router?
can you ping a web address?
when you do a ipconfig /all, what address do you have on your card?
