Can connect to network but not internet. Please Help!!!!!!!!!

  I have a Thinkpad T-60p and have encountered a serious problem; I am unable to connect to the internet. The Thinkpad will recognize and connect to wireless networks but when I go to actually open a webpage it does not open. I spent hours troubleshooting the problem to no avail. My other laptop connects to the internet fine, so I do not think it is an issue with my router or modem. I also went to my neighbors and I was unable to connect to the internet even though I could connect to his network; once again my second computer does not have a problem. I tried what I could in the Thinkvantage wireless software but I am not that familiar with it. When I use the test connection option it just reads, “unable to connect to internet” but I have a strong signal to my network. I then tried a wired connection directly to my cable modem and my neighbors; once again it showed that I have a connection, but still will not connect to the internet. I tried disabling my Firewall and Virus software and still could not connect. I have shutdown, unplugged and reset everything. I still receive the same results. I am not sure what has happened, I have not installed any new software or hardware recently. The computer has been working great up until this morning. I ran my virus software and a free online scan as well, nothing had been detected. I called tech support and they said it was a software issue to either pay $100 for help or post in the forum. The only other option I can think of is a complete systems restore, which I am trying to avoid. Anyone have any suggestions?  
Please Help,
P.

     I will try that when I get home from work, thank you for the advice. However,I did notice that when it attempts to connect it shows the IP Address in the IE window bottom left corner. In the past it would always read connecting to "website name" but since the problem started it shows the IP address instead of the actual name.

  • Can connect to router but not internet, please help!

    I was searching, but couldn't find a thread with my symptoms...please redirect me if needed.
    however, I just got a brand new dell that is running vista premium, and I put my belkin wireless card that I was using in my old pc into the new one.  found my network, applied to wep key and connected to the router without any problem...
    but I can't go online!  I never had a problem before, and I am using the same wireless card.  my signal is excellent, so what might my problem be?  I already tried rebooting the router, but no results.  I had the same problem several months ago with my wife's laptop when we first got FIOS...but for the life of me I can't remember how I fixed it.
    any suggestions?  thank you so much in advance

    It sounds like your laptop doesn't have any - or the right - IP configuration.  When you went through the network setup, did you tell it to use DHCP?
    Some things to try (note, this is for XP but I'm guessing it hasn't change *too* much for vista):
    From a command window, try typing:
    ipconfig
    It should show you your IP address and a default route (something other than zeros, probably a 192.168.x.x address).
    If you don't get a valid IP and route, try  running: ipconfig /renew
    See if you can get to the router by pinging the default gateway address (from the ipconfig command). E.g.:
      ping 192.168.0.1
    If you still have no luck, try resetting the connection via the Network Connections panel:
     Start->Control Panel
     Double click Network Connections
     Check for DHCP:
       Right click on the wireless connection and select Properties
       Click on Internet Protocol(TCP/IP) and click Properties
       Make sure that "Obtain IP address automatically" is selected.
       Click OK in both boxes.
     Right click on the wireless connection and select Repair
     If it still doesn't work, try right clicking on your wireless connection and select Disable, then again and select Enable and then Repair.

  • Can connect to network but not internet

    In trying to secure my wireless network, I connect to my network, but I am unable to get to the internet with the wireless security enabled. I have no problems connecting over the wireless when I disable the security.
    I have a linksys broadband router.
    I use a Mac book with intel chip that I am trying to connect wirelessly. I also have an older imac that is connected directly to the router that I was trying to share files.
    I was trying to setup WEP- I know very little about network protection. I have had a router for a couple of years and when I was trying to set it up so I could share iles I realized it was not protected. At the linksys website I had several options, but experienced the same problem (I had a strong network connection, but unable to connect to the internet) no matter which encryption option I chose.
    The error meeaage says that is unable to connect
    Thanks

    Hi.
    I assume that you have a linksys router plugged into an airport express.
    First off, seeing as you have a macbook you should use WPA2 instead of WEP as it is more secure. You can select this option in the airport admin utility on the main page. Make up a password enter it and click apply. The express will update. Then, when you select your network from the airport icon on the top of your screen it will prompt you to choose the type of security on the network (which will be WPA2 and after selecting this it will then propmt you to enter the password. Enter the password again (checking the keychain box as well) and this should be it.

  • WRTG54S Connect to network but not internet

    I have a WRTG54S and Mediacom 12mbps. My router worked fine on my old laptop (a Dell running Vista) It sat in a box for about 6 months and now that I have a new one (Sony running 7) I can connect to my network but not the internet. I have upgraded the firmware from 7.6 to 7.8 with no change. I have tried no security, wep, and wap with no change. I also cloned the MAC, again no change. Windows cannot detect any problems and when I try to enable the router to connect to the internet it always says connection failed. I can connect when directly wired to the modem but not when wired to the router or wirelessly. Any ideas? Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Wire your computer directly to your modem, open a command prompt window and enter "ipconfig /all". Post the full output. That will show what kind of modem you have and what the best configuration for your WRT should be.

  • Can connect to network, but not to internet

    I have a wireless network set up with four macs connecting to it. Three of the macs can connect to the network and access the internet.
    My Black Macbook can connect to the network, but when I open Safari or any other program that connects to the internet I cannot actually get on the internet. For example, I open safari and after a few minutes it says I am not connected to the internet.
    I can connect to my neighbor's unprotected wireless network and have no problem getting on the internet with that connection.
    I have tried turning the computer off and on and turning the airport off and on and it does not solve anything. I did not do anything to the compueter, it just started this problem out of the blue.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Do you have IP address limits ? Say I have 5 IP
    addresses limit.
    That is not it. And, I did not change anything before it just stopped working. The strange thing it is only within my wireless network that I can't access the internet. I eventually get the "you are not connected to the internet" screen each time I try to bring up a web page.

  • Can connect to intranet but not internet

    We have a machine which can connect to the intranet but not the internet.
    I didn't set it up initially but all the Network and Sharing settings are correct as far as I can tell; they're are the same as our other machines (which can connect to the internet).
    Firewall is on, as per other machines, and IP details are configured manually, as per other machines, including DNS Servers.
    I've tried resetting out ADSL modem and Switch, to no avail. I have also noticed that the fan on our Switch has stopped working so there's a chance that it may be damaged and causing the problem, however I would expect not to be able to connect to the intranet if this was the case.
    Any ideas?

  • Airport will connect to network but not internet

    Hi,
    My MacBook air started out working beautifully on my wireless network-high download speeds, solid connection, etc... After about six hours of operation however, it has stopped being able to find the internet consistently, no matter what wireless network I try. I use a NetGear wireless hub in my room, and my laptop is able to consistently find and connect to the network (the hub is only about 3 feet away) but it cannot connect to the internet. Under network settings I get the message "Airport has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the internet" or "Airport cannot connect to the internet." I know that the internet is working, because the network works fine for my MB Pro, iPhone, TiVo, and xBox 360. In fact, the MBA is occassionally able to find the internet and get an IP address. Sometimes this IP address allows me to load web pages extremely slow and sometimes I cannot even find google. The problem extends beyond my one network, however, as I have difficulty connecting to other wireless networks. I am on a college campus and sometimes can connect to the campus WiFi, but it again frequently connects without being able to figure out an IP address. Some help would be great.

    I have a similar issue. Mine does the same thing, but only if in a specific area. If I'm sitting on my recliner with the Air on my lap, then it will connect, but I can't get to any sites. The browser just stalls.
    If I move to the table that's 3 feet away from me, then the internet connects without any problems.
    It could be a reception issue with me, or something. I don't know. At first it connected at very high speeds. That was before 10.5.2.
    I don't know if the Leopard Update has anything to do with it, since my iMac doesn't have this problem at all. And that has an N card also.
    I hope Apple is looking into this wireless issues.

  • On Windows Xp machines, can connect to router but not internet

    Yesterday, I bought an Airport Extreme to replace my current router. I setup my network successfully and my macbook can connect fine. However, I have 2 Microsoft XP machines that can connect to the router (it sees it and connects), but I can't access the internet from these machines. For my network, I had to use a bridge mode. Any suggestions?

    Solution:
    1.Connect to internet via LAN
    2.Open browser to be sure you are connecting to the internet via LAN.
    3.Open up Airport utility from the PC
    4.Be sure you still have a wireless connection to the base station
    5.Open Airport Set up system while still connected to the internet via LAN.
    6.Run through system set up with the same settings, or different just as long as the base station reboots while you are connected to internet via LAN.
    7.After base station reboots, disconnect LAN cord, or disable LAN connection.
    8.After LAN is disconnected, try opening up a browser via your wireless connection.
    9.For me I was reconnected to internet via my wireless connection.

  • Ipad 2 can connect to WiFi but not internet ?

    Brand new IPad 2 user:  I am setting up unit right out of box. Can connect with my Verizon FIOS Wifi with IPad and have strong signal.
    Cannot now connect to the internet via Safari. Have tried several of the solutions offered in Apple manuals such as cleaning out network settings and starting over, but to no avail.
    I have also gone to the Verozon support website for clues.
    Any IPad2 users under Verizon out there?

  • WRT54G can connect to router but not internet

    A few days ago, I stopped being able to connect to the internet through my router. I have a desktop which is connected to my cable modem. My desktop connection works fine, but I cannot connect wirelessly with my laptop. Even if I connect a wired connection to my router, it will not connect to the internet. I have tried updating firmware and that did not help. When I try to diagnose the problem through windows, it tells me that "There may be a problem with the DNS". Also, when I look at the status tab in the router site, it shows that the IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway are all 0.0.0.0. Any ideas?

    hey guys you have your connections the wrong way...
    here's what your connection should be the cable modem should always be connected to the router, that means that the desktop (which is online) should not be connected to the modem...because, the your modem might only give out one ip address that means only ONE device behind the modem can go online, now either the router or the desktop gets the internet connection.so if your desktop is the one getting the ip address from the modem, so make sure that the modem is connected to the ROUTER ONLY...
    after connecting the modem to the router, connect the computer at the back of the router, so all the devices should be connected behind the router. in that way the router could get the internet connection from the modem and the router could give multiple ip addresses on all of the devices or computers that you're gonna connect to the router...
    then if ever the router still doesn't give internet connection try resetting the router and try to reconfigure it as well....

  • Connected to network but not internet :(

    I posted in the airport forum but to no avail, hopefuly some of you guys can help, here's my original post:
    I'm in a holiday lodge, which has a wireless network. I'm friends with the owner so I can fiddle with the modem/router, however as I type this i'm on a friends dell laptop, connected wireless with no problems.
    It's a BT ADSL network, not sure exactly what type of wireless modem but I assume the problem to do with some sort of settings or something.
    At home I can "borrow" the neighbour's internet just fine.
    This BT network I am trying to get into uses a WEP password which I know and have successfuly used.
    I select the network, stick the password in and it connects to the network, showing full signal strength but It doesn't allow me to connect to the internet, doesnt allow me to get on any websites...nada
    help please, I'm only here for a week but I need to check my emails atleast once.
    Thankyou for any help in advance."

  • Connect to network, but not internet

    I have an iMac with 10.5.5 and a linksys wrt wireless router.
    My connection status is "connected" but I can not access internet. It is a cable ISP.
    I have tried changing config of router. I have also reset it to factory default.
    I have tried setting up a new connection using "Assist me" and tried the "Diagnose"
    But no luck yet. The only thing I have not tried is manually resetting router.
    Monday (tomorrow) I will be trying again.
    Any ideas out there?
    Thanks

    Once your mac appears to be connected to your network
    try pinging an ip address of a website
    open your terminal and issue the following command
    ping -c10 212.58.224.138
    press enter and wait for a response.
    then try
    ping -c10 bbc.co.uk
    press enter.
    if you get a response when pinging the IP address but no response to the domain name it shows that you have an internet connection but a dns issue.

  • IPad connects to network, but not internet, and it was working fine yesterday

    So yesterday it was working fine, conecting to the internet and the router, then all of a sudden 'Safari cannot load the page because it is not connected to the internet', it was the same for all the apps that needed internet.
    My 4th generation iPod touch connects fine and so do other wireless devices on my network, what went wrong and how can I get  my internet back!??
    I have tried resetting the connectivity settings, resetting the router, adding the MAC address of the iPad to my routers 'Safe List' (which it wasnt on before it stopped working), and tried turning on and off the iPad.
    So what can be done to fix this?
    Thanks in advance

    A lot of hassle for such an annoying problem but I still have no idea why it didn't connect in the first place!?
    You found a work-around. Can't argue with success but you have not solved your problem. You should continue trying to get it to work via dhcp and dynamic addressing.
