Toshiba laptop with no internet connection
LockedLast time this happened was last month, I formatted the hard disk. I cannot do this every time. It is a 1 year old Portege, 256MB RAM, 1300MHz, 40GB, with Rangemax wireless, LAN connector. I put in a IP address for both wireless and LAN within the range of the router, the taskbar shows both are connected, but cannot browse the internet. It has IE7 newly installed which was working last week. I just installed Firefox 2.0, not browsing. Ping the default gateway IP address gets no reply. Ping the laptop IP address gets 4 replies on wireless and LAN. PAnda AV has not updated since 10 November. Ad-Aware and Spyware Doctor and Panda find no malware. Process Explorer shows nothing wrong. If I put 192.168.2.1 (router default gateway) in the address bar, error message is ‘Address is not valid’ Anybody got any ideas please?
