Half a shared internet connection!

by siliconwombat . Updated 20 years, 1 month ago

What can I say this is the second time Im trying to solve my laptop problem. The first time yielded no significant improvement! Hopefully this time Ill have more luck.

Compaq Presario 2100
circa 2 yr old
Win xp Home ed fully updated
Belkin wifi card
Netgear router allowing shared dsl connection

The rest of the network that the laptop should be connected to is fine definitely as Im using it right now to type this! Have updated the firmware for the router and installed latest relevant drivers.

The problem:
The laptop wont display any internet pages at all. However I can ping any server I try. It connects to windows update quite happily. Last week I did get google through for about thirty seconds which was’nt long enough to do anything as I went into shock, Ive been trying to get it to work for two months and Im well out of ideas

Any help greatly appreciated]
