Hi
Maybe you have posted an answer for this but I couldnt find it.
I am running a network w/wink200 pro. On one computer I can access the network, but I cant access the internet. One day it was running fine the next it stopped working. Is there anything I can do to try and solve this problem? Urgent

Have you tried pinging an internet site, something like ping yahoo.com? If that fails, try pinging your DNS and gateway. You may even want to try a tracert yahoo.com and see how far it gets, that can usually give you a good idea of where a problem may be.

Check your browser settings to be sure it isn't looking for a proxy server (or if you are using a proxy, check that it is configured correctly).

Double check your NIC configuration, making sure IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS servers are correct.

Beyond those suggestions, can you give a little more detail on how your connection is set up? DSL/Cable through a router? Dial-up? etc? Has anything changed on the computer or network devices since it stopped working?

Hope this helps!

Were the pings to the other devices successful (gateway, etc)? Where are the two DNS servers located? Is one in your local network and one outside?

Try running a tracert to the DNS that fails to see if we can identify the point that it is failingat.

I tried pinging the DNS servers and I only get one a reply from one, not the other. This is what I have. Its a network running on A T-1 Line. The servers are in one building and the computers are in another.
