Hi Jojo,

Thank you for your reply.

Please check your wireless router and the firewall settings on your computer .  Make sure that no firewall is blocking wireless connectivity. Some networking features in Windows Vista and Windows 7 are not compatible with older network routers and may cause problems, please click the link below for a list of compatible routers.

You may also need to update the wireless network drivers for your Dell Inspiron N4110 which are accessible from the link below. Uninstall the existing wireless drivers by accessing the Device Manager prior to installing the drivers.

Open Device Manager by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking Device Manager.‌  If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. Un-install the wireless adapter and reboot the system. Then, click on the link below to download wireless drivers.

Babita,

I cannot get online on my laptop in order to connect to the site link you supplied to download another wireless driver. So this solution did not work for me. Any other suggestions? I checked the router and firewall on my PC and the settings are fine. When I try to PING my laptop from my PC it fails! Please HELP!!!

Hi Jojo,

Thank you for your reply.

You may try to download the wireless driver on a different computer and burn it to a disc Then, install the driver using the disc on your laptop.

Try using the Fn + F2 key to turn wireless On or Off. Use Windows Mobility Center in the control panel to check the status of the wireless connection.

Please reply if you have any further questions.

Thanks and regards,

Hi Babita,

Mobility Center is showing wireless is connected. Still no access on internet. Error message from Google Chrome, Facebook, etc. reads "Error 137". Thanks for all of your time and effort in this matter, it is greatly appreciated.

Joanne

Hi Babita,

Thank you that fixed the "Error 137" problem. I am still having problems opening up Skype & Steam.

Hi Babita,

I am not able to reinstall Google Chrome. The message is that "installation has failed" Also Skype and Steam are still not working, I am working off of Internet Explorer and that seems to working fine. Any suggestions??

Joanne

Hi Babita,

The offline install did not work, the error message I am getting for Google Chrome is, "failed to run: error 0x80072ee4" and the error message for Steam is "WSAStartup() for 2.0 returned error code 10107" as far as Skype goes it is still saying that I am offline though I am running Internet Explorer. Do you have any other ideas?

Thank you,

Joanne

Hi Babita,

You are the BEST!!! Everything is working perfectly, even Google Chrome!! Thank you soooo much for all of your time and patience with my crazy computer problems! Let your boss know that you deserve a raise and a few days off with pay!!:emotion-1: Was this problem preventable on my end? What did I do to cause this??

Thanks,

Joanne

Hi Joanne,

Thank you for your reply. I am glad to know that the issue has been resolved and your system is working fine now.

Most of the Internet connectivity problems arise out of corrupt Winsock settings. Windows sockets settings may get corrupted due to the installation of a networking software, or perhaps due to Malware attacks which attempt to disable or filter internet connectivity . You will be able connect to the Internet, but the packets won't transfer back and forth.

Some preventive measures could be running regular system scans and keeping your anti-virus program updated. Always turn off your computer when not in use. Be careful of attachments and links which you receive in emails.

Please feel free to contact me in case of any further queries.

Thanks and regards,
Babita S
