Hernan,

Make and model of the computer and opertaing system is helpful. An ipconfig /all log may help.

What virus program and firewall are you using?

Did you power cycle the routers?

Power off your ISP modem/router and your wireless router(if any) for 30 seconds. Then power on the ISP modem/router. Wait 15 seconds, then power on the wireless router(if any)

Restart the computer and try to connect.

What happens?

Rick

Hernan,

Avast would not be a problem. Look at SAS and see if anything there may cause this. A long time ago, this happened with SAS and maybe something happened again.

Try...

Start, all programs, accessories, right click on command prompt, left click run as administrator. Type

netsh winsock reset catalog

This will reset the winsock catalog

Hi Rick.

My set my sig.

Ipconfig / all just give 0.0.0.0.

I have gone through all that. ipconfig /release. ipconfig /renew

The procedure that seems to work better is to power cycle the red. No router though, just modem and network switch. Live in a prebuilt viposa house. Walls are concrete with wire mesh inside so wireless ( wifi ) almost useless.

Any other ideas?

However like I said, not even the power cycle helped me out this time. I was talking to my cousing and he was telling me that he had the same problem and he thought it was the NIC so he bought a new red card and he got conneted again. By accident, a couple of day later, he connected the old NIC and it worked again. So now when he gets this " Limited or no connectivity, he switches the cards and all is good again. I think it is an ISP problem allocating IPs. Hey! I live in a third world country . What else is new ? They just increased the Intenet connection to 6 MB like a bit deal, and it is very expensive.

Let me see if this issue is still happening tomorrow. For now I am connecting through the modem USB. I will report back.

Thanks Rick.

Thanks Rick.

SAS althoug Pro is deactivated, I only have it for a third opinion scanner and its tools. I thought on applying SAS  winsock repair tool, but since I got on the web, I discarded te idea. However I implemented:

netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt and it did not work.

If tomorrow my NIC still does not get an IP, I will implement your winsock reset.

Thanks again.

Hernan,

It was...

Start, all programs, accessories, right click on command prompt, left click run as administrator. Type

netsh winsock reset catalog        (NOT netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt)

This will reset the winsock catalog

How to repair a connection

If you already installed Windows Updates, use system restore and go back before the updates. Maybe one of the updates caused the connection problem.

You can try looking in Avast's Virus chest to make sure something wasn't quarenteened.

Other option is start, network and sharing center, click on your connection, properties. Look for TCP/IPv4 and TCP/IPv6 and click on properties for each. Have your settings match mine.

I know Rick. It was another way to reset IP logs, no the winsock. I will try the wisock repair tomorrow or later tonight.

No, I have not done my MU yet. Since they come in Spanish, they some time take 2 more days to be available.

Yes, all my settings are in auto; IP and DNS.

That is why I thought it could be my NIC, cause everything is like it is supposed to be.

Thanks.

Well. It seems that it was not my NIC after all. I am conneted with it right now. This must be some issues my IPS has at plataform level since my cousin has had this problem too. I would have to power cycle when this happens again and if this does not fix it, to be patient and try again later.

Rick. Thanks a lot for your time and trobleshooting trying to figure this out.

Hernan,

Glad you got connected. Thanks for posting back.

Take care,

Rick
