I bought a refurbished computer, it says im connected to the internet, but the internet does not work?!!??!??
I just bought a gateway 2g ram, 400g hard drive, 2.2 ghz intel core duo processor with vista( i asked for xp they didnt have :S) anyways i have my desktop 03 xp computer and also a vaio laptop here at home, both connect fine to the internet and work properly, my desktop uses a D-LINK USB WIRELESS adapter model DWA-130 for wireless connectivity, so here is the problem, my brand new refurbished computer says that it is connected to the internet but it does not work! I i have tried diagnosing, using MS dos to find the IP and it couldnt find it even though it says status: connected. i dont know what else to do i tried everything. i even connected it directly to the router and it said *identyfying* but it wouldnt work, my laptop and desktop works fine though so i know its not the internet, is there some sort of configuration im missing? maybe because its vista? please help!
You didn’t mention how your new computer is connecting to the internet, through a wireless adapter like your desktop, or directly to a cable or DSL? One of my computers has to connect by wire for the wireless to work for the other computers. Or are you using an open wireless network (i.e. someone else’s)?
Anyway, my first thought is that there are often two components to the internet connection and while one shows you’re “online” you’re not really online until the other one is working too, which requires you have the right drivers for the device. You could go to Drivermax.com and download its free program and it will tell you which drivers you’re missing or need updated. It’s kind of a pain to try to get a dozen drivers or more, but one or two doesn’t take very long.
