One computer on my home network cannot connect to the internet. It seems to stall when waiting for a reply from the selected website and then times out. Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Hi Dan

I have jumped the gun somewhat as my internet connection came right for a few hours after ping tests but is running really slow again.I have since done a network diagnostic scan from help & support which tells me that the
default IP Gateway =10.1.1.1 failed
and DHCPServer =101.1.1 failed
DNSServerSeach order Failed
202.27.158.40 failed (Request timed out)
202.27.156.72 failed (Request timed out)

I am again in the position of requiring expert help.

Hey 4dv8,

So, you have an Internet connection now, but it's slow? Let's try to see where your connection is getting slowed down. Please post the results of a tracert:
  • Press Start
  • Select Run
  • Type cmd and press OK
  • In the new command prompt window, type tracert google.com
  • This command will take a few minutes to complete -- wait for the trace to complete before continuing.
  • Right-click on the command prompt window, select Select All and then press the ENTER key on your keyboard; this will copy the text; you should now be able to paste it into your next response.
Thanks,
- Dan

It's possible that this is simply an ISP issue, as you do appear to be losing quite a few packets; there's also a significant spike in your latency between two hops. When you thought the issue had been resolved, did you do anything? Or did it simply improve on its own? How long have you been experiencing this issue for? Has it been constant? Have you contacted your ISP? Who is your ISP?

Please do the following.
  • Press Start
  • Select Run
  • Type cmd and press OK
  • In the new command prompt window, please type the following commands.
    *Note: each ping will take approximately 10 seconds to complete; wait for the command prompt to return before you type the next one.
    • ping 202.37.244.221
    • ping 202.50.232.82
    • ping 209.85.253.133
  • Once the above pings have completed, right-click on the command prompt window, select Select All and then press the ENTER key on your keyboard; this will copy the text; you should now be able to paste it into your next response.
Thanks,
- Dan

Hi Dan

When I thought thought the problem was resolve I had did the original ping test and repaired the LAN connection. I do not know if this had an effect asI have tried this again with no joy.
I recently set up a home network and this problem started shortly after that. I have two laptops online, one goes great but the other has this internet problem. Both laptops are plugged into an 8 port 10/100/1000 gigabit switch then into a broadband modem. Some clever chap did have a play when i first had the issue don't know what he did(I don't think he knew either). Because one of the laptops is good I haven't contacted my ISP who is XTRA, Telecom New Zealand.

Here are the results of the ping test

Hey Dion,

Because one of the laptops is good I haven't contacted my ISP who is XTRA, Telecom New Zealand.

Yep, good thinking -- if it was an ISP issue, it really should be affecting all of your machines.

Packet loss can usually be ruled down to one of the following:
(1) Outdated drivers -- ensure you have the latest drivers installed for your network adapter.
(2) Duplex issue -- see Step 1.
(3) Software interference -- see Step 2.

Just a quick question -- when did this issue start happening? Did you install any new software, any Windows updates? Virus infections?

Step 1 - Change your duplex setting:
  • Click Start, select Run, type ncpa.cpl and press OK.
  • In the new window, right-click on your Network Connection and select Properties.
  • In the new window, press the Configure.. button.
  • Select the Advanced tab.
  • In this new window, you should see a Property: list. Within this list, look for an item called something similar to Speed & duplex settings (the exact name will vary depending on your manufacturer).
  • Select this item (so that it is high-lighted) and then please note down its current Value -- post this value.
  • Change the value to one of the following, and then test if your connection improves or not. If it doesn't, try a different value and test -- repeat for each item.
  • 100 Mbps Full Duplex
  • 100 Mbps Half Duplex
  • 10 Mbps Full Duplex
  • 10 Mbps Half Duplex
If you do not notice an improvement with any of these settings, you may change it back to its original value (that you noted down).
Step 2 - Restart your machine in Safe Mode with Networking:
Please restart the problematic machine in Safe Mode with Networking and then see if your Internet connection has improved; has it?
*Note: You will not be able to use a wireless connection while in Safe Mode; please ensure all tests are performed with a wired (Ethernet) connection.
**Note: Ensure that you do not browse sites that you do not trust while in Safe Mode with Networking.


While in safe mode, please perform a new tracert to google.com and post the results.

Thanks,
- Dan

Hi Dan

This issue started after I ran a home network setup. I did not install any new software , updates or virus infections. This computer is used by the whole family so I can't be 100% sure.
I have changed the value on the Speed & Duplex setting and it appears to running normally(Hooray!!).
Its original setting was "Auto" and I tried all the settings listed and the internet connection seemed to work well on all of them. I have left the value as "100Mb Full"

Here is the tracert test results

Hey Dion,

I'm glad to hear things appear to be running smoother. Your trace looks a lot better.

I have left the value as "100Mb Full"

That's good. :)

Fingers crossed problem resolved??

Let's hope so. However, since we thought this issue was resolved earlier, I'm going to remain subscribed to this topic for the next few days, in case the issue crops up again. I would appreciate it if in a day or two you could let us know if the issue has indeed been resolved.

Thanks :)
- Dan
