Laptop connected to router, but no internet connection
Hi all, hope someone can help with this little gem........
The laptop in question is a Latitude c840, P4 2GHZ
40gb HDD
512mb RAM
15" Screen (1600x1200 )
Onboard LAN & Modem
CDRW/DVD combo
win xp pro
The problem i am having is getting an internet connection on my existing home network.
The modem router is a zyxel, and have other laptops and a desktop connected to it fine (all wireless).
The Dell connects to the router fine (via cable at the moment) and i can get into the router control panel, but it just won't connect to any web pages. My other laptops both work fine on the ethernet cable and wireless.
Firewall is turned off, and i've tried IE & Firefox with no luck.
Auto detect settings for LAN etc have been checked and unchecked, dns of 192.168.1.1 have been put in along with the subnet mask and still nothing!
Any cunning plans to get me online ?!

As a troubleshooting step, boot into Safe Mode with Network Support and see if you can get online. If you can can, then it tells you that something running from Normal Mode startup is causing the problem and you can then take steps to properly configure or eliminate the problem program.

Problem with the gateway
it is not giving you the proper dns
you can open the lan or wirless and you can manually enter ip and gate way and your
ISP dns server then it should work
then you can work and check in proxy setting if some invalid data is not there try to default this .......

Thanks for the suggestions
