Hey guys.
I've got a weird problem. So after booting up normally I get a Identifying Network symbol in Windows 7 and therefore I can't connect to the internet...
Although it's lan it tells me that there is no internet connection. I checked the router and the wifi is working fine and it even shows that the computer is connected.
I would really appreciate your help

Thanks

If I understand correctly, you mentioned that you are operating a LAN (wired) connection, and also said that you are having no problems with your wifi. From this I gain that you (well, your computer) is attempting to connect to the network via both wired and wireless connection methods.

From my experience, I've found that doing this in Windows 7 often causes a conflict of interest and prevents the creation of a stable network connection. I've had the same problem in my dorm, where we have very limited wireless access and are required to use a wired connection. I've found that if I left my laptop's wireless network adapter on and then plugged into a wired network, the same thing happens that you described. Disabling my wireless network adapter did the trick. I would suggest attempting to connect to your network via only one method.

Let me know how that works for you

Sorry for the confusion but I meant that my Laptop has no problems connecting to the internet via wifi, where else my desktop PC, which is connected via Lan has this issue.

Ok, I understand what you are saying. So your desktop PC, which has Windows 7 installed, shows no network connectivity even though it is hard-wired to your router. Is that correct?

I would consult your router's manual. What brand and model router do you have? What type of internet connection do you have (DSL, cable, etc.)?

I also suggest running a diagnostic of your network connection through via Windows Network Diagnostic tool, found in the Network and Sharing Center.

Let me know if that helps.

It does not show no connection, but it says that it's identifying the network. Which means it knows that it is connected. When I try to run the diognostic tools it just says that A problem is preventing the troubleshooter from starting.

I'm prety sure that the router is fine, because when I connect my Xbox 360 with it, it works an connects to the internet.

Unplug the PC, router, and modem from power. Wait 30 sec. Plug the modem back in. Wait until all status LEDs are as they should be, then plug in the router. Wait until these LEDs are as they should be then plug the PC in and power it up.

Win key + R>type cmd>type ping -n 20 www.google.com You should receive 20 replies. If you do not, reinstall the network card driver.

Right click the NIC in question then choose Uninstall. When it disappears, right click any other device and choose Scan for Hardware changes. Very rarely will you need a driver disk with Windows 7.

Now try pinging www.google.com once more. If you can. try surfing. If you can't, reboot to Safe Mode With Networking by repeated pressing the F8 key as the PC reboots. If you still can't surf, post back to this thread.

Sorry I could'nt post earlier, but I was really busy this week.
Anyway just restarted all appliances and after trying to ping www.google.com it says "Ping request could not find host www.google.com. Please check the name and try again. I entered the name correctly, but it still won't ping google.

Try accessing your home router from your browser (usually the IP for this is 192.168.1.1, but it may differ, depending on your router's brand. You can look up your brand on the web).

Can you access this from your browser?

Did you follow the rest of the instructions in my earlier post?
