Hi! I REALLY need some help please...

(system - Vista)

My laptops connected to wireless internet. Problem is, I can't browse, not with IE, firefox, safari....it just brings up a page loading message forever.
Skype works fine. Also, when I take the laptop to a friends house and connect to her wireless it browses the internet ok there??

I've tried seeveral things I googled but none of it seems to work, including -

-system restore back as far as I can go
-cmd scannow thing
-plugging straight into the router with the cable
-IE>tools>resetting interet settings
- tried without firewall on
- ran malware bytes

Not sure what to do now, help greatly appreciated!!

Where is the rest of it? That's only the ping part. There should be a lot of info from the ipconfig /all command before the ping info. Something like this (from my Windows 7 computer):

What the ping info shows is you do have a working internet connection, though it's slow. The ping times are poor.

This is what it looks like on my computer:

Give WinSock XP Fix a try, see if it resolve the browser problem, though I would still like to see the ipconfig /all output.

WinSock XP Fix is for XP only, not for Vista.

[sera1]

Oh i thought i put the command as you typed...ill try again

will WinSock XP Fix work with vista?

[Ztruker]

Rats, no. I forgot which forum I was in. XP Only. I'll fix my post to indicate this.

Copy and paste the command rather than typing it.

Select the complete command then press Ctrl+C to copy it.
Open a Command Prompt then right click in the Command Prompt windows and select Paste.
Press Enter and the complete command should be executed.

[Ztruker]

Boot to Safe Mode with Networking. See here: How to Boot to the Advanced Boot Options in Vista

Can you browse the internet from there?

How does it work if you connect a Ethernet cable rather than use the wirless?

[sera1]

Hi again, I think the cmd thing worked properly this time, i put below.
Connected with ethernet cable the problem still persists
Safemode with networking the problem still persists
(Err, could it be a problem with the service provider? I don't think so but is it a possibility?)

Have you tried resetting the router? There is usually a small, almost invisible button on the back near the power connection. Press and hold that for 10 seconds or so.

What is the make and model number of your router?

[sera1]

Hey

It's a 'bt home hub 3' I have tried resetting it already

[Ztruker]

So the BT Home Hub 3 is the only network modem/router you have, right? There is no modem and router?

Please try this.

Power off the BT Home Hub 3 and computer.
Connect the computer to the BT Home Hub 3 with an Ethernet cable.
Power on the BT Home Hub 3 and wait a bit for it to stabilize.
Power on the computer.

See if you can browse the internet now.

If not then I'm stumped.

You are getting a good IP address from the BT Home Hub 3 (IPv4 Address. 192.168.1.70(Preferred)).
You can ping www.yahoo.com.
SkyPE works.

Try creating a new login account via Control Panel / User Accounts.
Logoff the current account, login as the new one.
See if you can browse the internet from there.

This sure sounds like a firewall/anti-virus blocking problem but you said you tried booting to Safe Mode with Networking and the problem still exists and neither of them would be running then.

Also, since it works at a friends house that pretty much narrows it down to the BT Home Hub 3. Contact the ISP and see if they can help.

you could try specifying dns on the laptop i have had some experience with this problem myself and sometimes it can resolve no web issues i usually use googles dns 8.8.8.8 as primary and 8.8.4.4 dunno if it helps but couldnt hurt
