Cant connect to the internet

1 New Member
Hi i have a Dell Latitude D830 that I havent used in quite some time (about 6 months) because I didnt have a power cord, now that I have one I cannot connect to the internet. The laptop worked fine before I lost the cord. Here are the specifics: I have DSL thats capable of wi-fi throughout the house. When I try to connect, it says: "Internet Explorer Cannot Display This Page", but my taskbar and wi-fi says "connected" and the signal is green. Also I tried to ping but it says: "Can not find host". Someone suggested doing something with the TCP/IP but when I right click on it, to look at the properties, i get a message that says: "In order to configure, you mus install and enable a network adapter card". My other laptop works fine. Please help. Thanks

What is the IP Address? (Start menu -> Run -> cmd and press enter. Type in ipconfig and press enter)

What did you attempt to ping? The wireless router or something on the internet?

Try pinging the IP address of your wireless router (in the ipconfig output from above, it will be your 'Default Gateway' probably something like 192.168.0.1) and post the results.

If that works, try pinging yahoo.com and post the results.

My WebForm1.aspx works fine when I connect via localhost, AND when I connect using the IP address. HOWEVER, NO ONE ELSE can connect using my IP address. Capitalization is correct, Firewall is off, and still everyone just times out. Help is greatly appreciated, 'specially since I've been working on this site for over 24 hours straight :-| Thanks

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
