In a office there is 4 computers XP-Pro, all there applications work and
they can see each other, but this one workstation can't see the internet.
Ipconfig shows the dsn server, gatway and everthig is there.

How do you connect your network to the Internet?
What's the default gatway, and can you ping it? Can you ping your DNS server
IP(s)? Ping www.yahoo.com, for example, and get an IP address in return?

Ipconfig /all on all workstations look the same (apart from unique IP
addresses)?

Hi Lanwench,
Sorry about the double post, first time on this news group. We connect to
the internet througt a linksys router, ran ipconfig/ all on all workstations
the were all the same except the ip for each workstation. the affected work
station can't ping to yahoo.com, you can ping the router, the gateway, but
not the dns sever.

What errors do you get? Just 'request timed out'?
Is this Linksys perhaps limited to the number of connections it can handle?
You're using DHCP, right?

When i click on the internet explorer and go to any http://www.xxxxx.xxx, The
only error i get is this pages cannot be displayed, it just imes out. there
is eight ports on the Linksys router, i whent as far as moving the cables to
other positions. When you ping you get the "Just 'request timed out".
As i mentioned before, when you use ipconfig/all "all the dns , gateway,
subnet, etc is all the same except the ip for the individual workstations,
and it is set using DHCP.

Don't use www. Just specify the IP address of the Linksys.

Pinging the IP address alone?
Contact Linksys.

If so, you might want to contact linksys - presuming you don't have any
software firewall installed that is blocking outbound traffic.

I buy passed the linksys router, that is removed it from the system. pluged
the cat5 into the cable modem and the other in to the computer, no other
computers hooked up. Have the same problem. Ipconfig/all shows all my
addressing, dns,gateway, etc.
Umpluged the problem computer from the cable modem and pluged it in to a
workstation that was working, and it still does. The prolbem is in the
workstation.
