hi,
Ive just reinstalled windows and im experiencing problems with my wifi, i have a feeling its something to do with the DNS as when i click repair it claims not to be able to repair it and i have to turn my wireless router on and off again, while on my other computer internet access is fine any ideas how i can sort this anybody

thanks,
wil

What exactly do you mean by you have problems, can you not access the network, or just the internet? etc?

[rocker9455]

sorry for not being more specific, before i reinstalled windows i could just browse the internet and nothing would go wrong, basically everything was normal, then when i reinstalled windows i can easily connect to my wireless network and it will stay connected but every i dont know about 30 mins - 1 hour i cannot browse the internet anymore it just wont open up web pages etc. im using the most current driver for my pci-card and have tried reinstalling the driver a few times at no avail

So it works for 30mins to an hour, then just cuts off? strange, I can't think of something to do, ServerGuy should be here soon, he will probably know how to fix it.

On the computer, go to Start - Run - type in CMD

Type in ipconfig /all

Right click and click Select All

Then press Enter

That will copy the information to the Windows Clipboard. Come back to this forum and in a new reply right click and select Paste

If you cannot get onto the forum on the broken computer, then you will have to paste it into Notepad first, then transfer it across some other way, then paste it here from another computer.

That information will allow me to diagnose your problem further. Can you try to do this once when your internet is working, and once when it is not?

I have also moved this thread to the Networking forum.

[serverguy]

I have a few other things I would like you to do:

When the internet appears to stop working, can you go to Start - Run - type in CMD

Then type in ping 66.102.9.104

Tell me whether the ping is returned successfully.

If it comes back successfully, do the same but this time type in ping www.google.co.uk

And again tell me what it says.

[rocker9455]

i seriously doubt when the internet isnt working the ping will return as i cannot access web pages the odd thing is though that when using bittorrent already established connections will stay working until they disconnect, then they can not reconnect

heres my ipconfig when the internet is working:
