Diagnostics have given indications of multiple ip adresses, as if it may have 2

 

type this exactly without the quotation marks "ping www.google.com"

 

Ping request could not find host www.google.com. Please check name and try again

 

so its definitely not that you have a proxy set on your browser - if you look at your work laptop and get the default gateway (e.g 192.168.1.1 - may be different numbers) then on your own laptop type ping 192.168.1.1 (or whatever the dg is ) do you get a reply from.......?

 

They are identical

 

ok so try the ping command

Packets: sent = 4, received = 3, lost = 1 (25% loss)

 

so it looks like limited connectivity to the router as 25% is getting through - I have had a similar problem with a laptop at work and we got round it by deleting the nic in device manager then rebooting (which should reinstall the device drivers) - I can tell you how to do this but if you had a problem you could be snookered

 

I'll try it mate, the wife has given me clearance to dip into savings for a new laptop if its fooked anyway

 

its not a major problem - just go to start button then right click "computer" then "properties" there should be a left hand window with a "device manager" option. select device manager and you will see a section which says "Network Adaptors" - expand this and select the wireless adapter (it will have wifi adapter in its description) - right click on this and select "uninstall" from the menu. Uninstall then reboot which should re-install the drivers and re-initialise your wireless connection. Then try reconnecting - if that does not work I am at a loss

 

Done all that re-booting know, just had a massive ****e, fingers crossed

 

of course - I forgot to mention a colossal dump always helps in all IT matters

 

Wont let me turn the wireless button on

 

The pizza, chips, kebab and 11 cans spoke up

 

Ok go back to #32 but instead of uninstalling click "check for hardware changes" and it will re-install the drivers hopefully then try turning the button on

 

Trying that

 

Button is lit

 

Still getting unable to connect to internet, thanks for your time GS but i'm ready to smash it up tbh
