Friends computer help!?

Question

My friend has a computer and when you try to go on the internet it shows a whiy screen with the blue bar saying connecting.But it never loads the internet.The internet works for all the other computers in the house but that one computer.How will we go about fixing the internet?

Answer 1

Open up control panel and click on network settings. click on view connection devices. disable the LAN connection and the re-enable it. it should auto refresh and get a new IP address. This usually resets the TC PIP settings. If that doesn't work e-mail me.

Answer 2

FYI: A computer technician would need alot more information than what you have given. for example: your operating system (mac, windows (xp, vista, nt, me, 2k) etc.),  what browser you use ( internet explorer, firefox, safari), what type of computer you have ( e.g. Dell Dimension C521), and what type of internet connection you have (DSL, dial - up, etc.)

Answer 3

MAY BE HER INTERNET IS NOT WORKING SHE NEEDS TO REPAIR IT

Answer 4

Create an internet account on it just like the other computers in the house..... go to Control Panel, Internet Options, Connections tab and set up a new internet connection........... Look at the internet connection properties on one of the other computers and use those exact settings for the new account on this computer.......

For dialup needs a 56K modem, for DSL or Cable needs a cable connection to the modem or needs a USB Wireless conector plugged in to connect to a home WiFi network......... just like the other computers
