No internet access from networked computer

G

Guest

I have 2 wired networked computers, A and B. A has the broadband internet
connection.

From B I can access the files and printers attached to A but not the
internet. Both computers when running net view A show files and printers for
A. Similarly, computer A can also see B.

Both have windows firewalls and I suspect it is something to do with this
that is preventing internet access. On the Firewall advanced tab for the
local area connection I have ticked all the boxes under "settings".

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

can you ping a public IP? If yes, can you ping yahoo.com? If you can't ping a web site, I would check the DNS first.

Please describe how the computers are connected to each other, and to the
Internet. Make and model of network hardware (router / switch) will help.

Next, look at "ipconfig /all" from each computer, and diagnose the problem.
Read this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions precisely

Thanks for this. They are connected via a cross over cable. Internet
connection is through a broadband modem at the main computer. Until a few
months ago the kids computer could get accesss to the internet. The only
thing I can think of that may have interferred with it is that on the main
computer I installed something called VPN client (Cisco Systems) in order to
get a direct line to my work computer. Could this be the problem?

Is it safe for me to post the ipconfig info here? If so, would that help?

Thanks for your assistance.

There's nothing in "ipconfig /all" that exposes you to any danger.

VPN Client (Cisco) has a firewall. This will cause problems, if not correctly
configured. VPNs will cause problems too; if you're running a VPN tunnel from
one computer, this can affect Internet access by the other computers on the LAN.

Thanks for this.

I copy below the IPconfig printout. A couple of questions:

1. I notice that on the IPCONFIG printout it states that netbios over tcp/ip
is disabled, yet I have enabled it on all the network connections from the
properties, wins box. In the Services list from control panel it states that
the TCIP is started. I don't understand, therefore, why the printout states
that it is not started.

2. How can I temporarily disable the Cisco software and/or its firewall?

I hope you can help. Thank you.

OK, to start, Office has IPV6, aka Teredo Tunneling. IPV6 causes problems with
NetBT.
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : fe80::210:dcff:fefe:97a7%4

Start by removing that.

I have uninstalled (completely by using uninstall and re-booting) the Teredo
Tunneling (I think - it was labelled 'Microsoft TCP/IP Version 6'. However,
omputer B still cannot access the internet. The other items on the Local Area
Connection on Computer A are:

Client for microsoft networks
file and printer sharing
deterministic network enhancer
Qos packet scheduler
NWLink NetBIOS
NWLINK IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol
Network monitor driver
Internet protocol (TCP/IP

I tried unticking NW Link IPX/SPX and the one following that. However, when
I did that neither computer could see each other at all.

Thank you for your patience and I hope you can help.

OK, IPV6 was what showed up in IPConfig. You have to do "browstat status" or
"net config server / workstation", to identify IXP/SPX or NetBEUI. It all needs
to come out

It's your call, but if you want to get your computers working right, you need to
un install all excess protocols, and work from there. I'll advise you the best
I can, and so will the other helpers here.

Then run the Network Setup Wizard on both computers. Observe all notes at the

On Office, select

network connect to the Internet through this computer.

Thanks again.

I have uninstalled all protocols except client for microsoft networks, file
and printer sharing and TCP/IP on both computers.

I then ran the set up wizard on each. Both computers can see each other but
computer B still cannot access the internet.

I notice on Office (computer A) that on the local area connection
properties, advanced tag, the internet sharing box was not ticked. I guess it
should be? However, even when ticked and re-booted, computer B still cannot
access the internet. I have, therefore left it unticked.

I attach the latest IPconfig info if it is of any use.

Thanks again.

I have re-run the network wizard. For Breakfast I cannot work out how to
enable Dhcp or to get a gateway. I have followed your instructions concering
the wizard. Is there something else I need to do to enable Dhcp and to get a
gateway?

When I try to enable ICS on office i get a message "ICS is already enabled
for connection Karoo Brooadband 250. Itr will now be enabled for connection
LAC 4 instead" When I then enable it all connection between the two
computers is lost.

Any futher advice?

Thanks again.

Is the DHCP Client service Started and Automatic?

Yes, on both computers the service is listed as started and automatic.
However, when I run ipconfig from breakfast it says it is not enabled. From
office on the ipconfig result it is enabled.

Still no communication between the two computers when ICS enabled on office.

OK, let's do some diagnostic work. Take the following code (everything INSIDE
the "#####" lines). Please DO NOT include ANY portion of the "#####" lines.
Follow instructions below, precisely.

1. Create folder C:\Utility on your computer, and make that folder part of
the Path.
2. Download PSTools (free) From SysInternals. Copy all components of PSTools,
unzipped, into C:\Utility.
3. Open Notepad. Ensure that Format - Word Wrap is not checked. Highlight
then Copy the code (Ctrl-C), precisely as it is presented below, and Paste
(Ctrl-V) into Notepad.
4. Save the Notepad file as "cpsserv.cmd", as type "All Files", into
C:\Utility.
5. Run it by Start - Run - "cpsserv".
6. Wait patiently.
7. When Notepad opens up displaying c:\cpsserv.txt, first check Format and
ensure that Word Wrap is NOT checked! Then, copy the entire contents (Ctrl-A
Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) into your next post.

And post BELOW my posts.

Do this from each computer, please, with all computers powered up, online, and
connected. Running this code from each computer will give us a more complete
picture of how each computer is setup, and what each computer can see from the
others. On a completely working LAN, running this, repeatedly, would be
redundant. Since you're here, it probably won't be for you.

There was one problem I experienced here. Step 5 Start - run - "cpsserv" (I
assume without the inverted commas) did not work - got message that Windows
cannot find cpsserv.

However, I went into Utility and double clicked cpsserv.cmd and it opened
notepad and produced the output below.

Because you asked me to do this on both computers I had to untick internet
connection sharing on office (because when it is ticked neither computer can
see the other) in order that I could copy the downloaded diagnostic programme
onto breakfast. (although I guess I could have used a pen drive).

Anyway, I have copied the outputs for both office and breakfast below. I
hope it is OK.

OK, all the services are running, on both computers. So we're left with my
personal favourite (NOT) - LSP / Winsock corruption. Run all tools, at least
once:
