We have a PC here at work which a collegue has brought in to check out. whilst at home the internet stopped working. all other PC's on the home network still have the net connection etc...

We've hooked it up to our work network and thats working fine but it just wont load up any web pages with either firefox or IE... any ideas? it was wireless at home but we've fitted a normal LAN card to it at the minute and disabled the wireless

TIA

wireless settings messed up, check all settings on both router and pc to make sure they match

davegtt

yes but We've disabled the wireless card completely and installed a LAN card and hooked it up directly to my works network.... Still no internet?

Has it got an ip address?

Open a command prompt and type ipconfig /all

davegtt

yes we have checked that already, thanks for the suggestion, the ip address was picked up off our server and its in range

Iain Young

So, I presume that you can ping web addresses then?

do you use a proxy at work? won't explain the home problem but if its now through a local card.......

davegtt

sorted, sort off, we did a system restore and its working now dunno what caused it, aparently it was downloading a microsoft update when it crashed
