Probably not a hardware problem. Tried about 5 different routers, many Ethernet cables.

The gigabit ports at the back light up probably and on all different routers, lights indicate that there is a connection.

No matter what I've tried, When I start up IE, the bottom says Detecting Proxy settings, after around 3 seconds, there is a page displaying cannot load page or page dosent exist, whatever.

Tried firefox, same thing, except when using firefox it dosent say "detecting proxy settings".

I have no clue with network-related problems. I've tried disabling every single firewall that could possibly block the connection. But i Just dont know how to solve this "proxy" issue.

Help appreciated ASAP. Thanks in advance guys.

Edit : The com is also unable to connect through a router nor a login-name/password type connection. This is beggining to look more like a hardware malfunction.

Are other computers on the network working fine?
Does Windows say you are connected to the network?

First check if you're actually connected to the internet to rule out if it's a browser problem. Go to start, run, then type "ping google.com". If it comes up with results like "Reply from [I.P. address]" you're connected.

Whenever my internet quits working I disconnect from the router and connect your computer directly to the modem. That way you can rule out if it's a internet connection problem or a router problem. If it works connected directly to the modem then it's a router problem. If it still doesn't work when connected directly to the modem then you have a problem with your connection and need to call up your service provider.

Try connecting to the internet, and not the intretnet.

Tried replacing the networks card and checked the firewall settings?
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Open a command prompt and type IPCONFIG /ALL and make sure that the IP address you are seeing is correct for your network; with most routers it will be 192.168.0.x or 192.168.1.x when using DHCP.

Another thing you can try is right-click on your My Network Places -> Properties -> right-click on your connection -> Repair

Most likely, your problem sounds like a DNS (site address translation) problem, which is an issue with your internet service provider.  Basically you are unable to connect with a DNS server that would translate www.bf2s.com to 65.44.67.163.  If this is true, rather than "ping www.bf2s.com" try "ping 65.44.67.163".

If you are able to successfully "ping 65.44.67.163" but NOT "ping www.bf2s.com" then you have a DNS problem with your service provider.   Be patient.  These usually clear up within 6 hours.



Less likely is that your ISP has an internal outage somewhere.  They connect to you but not to the internet.  If you are unable to accomplish any pings (IP or URL) and the situation doesn't clear after 6 hours, then give your ISP tech department a call.

Thanks guys, but this is definately not a router or modem problem as my main computer connects to both just fine, just about 24/7. I believe is not a browser problem either as neither Firefox or IE works but I will try all the pinging solutions later in the day. If they turn out to not work, I will just buy a cheap LAN card or something. And I dont think windows says Im connected to a network in Windows either. And to freezer: All Windows Firewall settings are off. I really dont know whats wrong.

Thanks for the help so far guys, will get back soon.

I am now most certain to say that there is something wrong with the Ethernet Gigabit port itself. When I tried to ping 65.44.67.163, It came up with the reply "Destination Host Unreachable" 3 times. The internet is working perfectly fine as I am talking to you guys right now. I am going to get a new cheap LAN Card unless there are any further possible solutions . Thank you guys.

Neither is it able to detect any computer apart from itself in msHome, even though the network has been setup proerly a dozen times now.

Host Unreachable is an ICMP message. Unless all three lines show up instantly the second you press enter when issuing that command, you're getting those Host Unreachable messages from another device somewhere on your internal network or the Internet itself, and that would suggest that there's nothing wrong with any hardware in your computer. It could be that somehow your network card or your network driver is messing up when addressing your packets, but that sounds wildly unlikely if those ICMP messages are external, which would suggest that CRC and FCS are applied without error during network and data-link layer encapsulation. Kinda far-fetched. It sounds like you either have some sort of software issue, or that you need to call your ISP. If you can connect to the web-based management features on your routers, you can almost certainly rule out the former, so that's worth a shot.

maybe you could uninstall the network card drivers(in the device manager) and restart your computer... then it will reinstall the drivers... couldnt hurt
Love is the answer

I doubt it has anything to do with the ISP. This is actually a computer of a friend of mines, I've tried it at his house which is probably around 50 miles away from where I live. And he has atleast 2 working internet-connected computers at his place and I have one at my house. So it is definitely not an ISP problem. Anyway, I'm just going to go buy a 5 dollar lan card and hope if that solves the issue, it did it for my old rig when the gigabit port fucked up.

Its a windows computer?

If so then its Windows (Microsoft) that is messing up. Microsoft released a new security update and it has made some people being unable to connect to internet. "Cumulative security update for Internet Explorer" was the thing some say messed up the connection.

How to fix:

Go to your control panel, then Add and remove programs, and remove the update (above).

I'm not 100% sure if this works, but you can try it

Just something I saw in an article on hardware.no and here (Note that it says Vista, but its the same for XP too!)

Just as I suspected, the Gigabit Ethernet port was fucked. Bought a LAN Card for around 7USD and internet immediately started working again.
