Hello!
I have Win2000 Pro running on my laptop and for some reason it will
not connect to the internet thru my cable provider but every once in a
while. This is a fresh install and the NIC is functioning properly.
I used the internet connection wizard with success. I have been able
to connect to windows update 3 times in 50 tries so I know it "can"
work although I can't figure out why it won't the 47 other times.
I've tried pinging 127.0.0.1 and get a reply. There are no hardware
conflicts. The connection will "detect proxy settings", then go to
"finding site www.google.com" (my start page), just to go to a place
on my C drive and give me the "page can't be displayed" error message.
If I plug the cat 5 into my desktop all is fine and dandy and all of
the settings on both computers seem to be the same as far as I can
see.
What could be the cause of this? Any ideas? Any advice on an
approach to troubleshooting this?
TIA!!!
