Title: Internet/router working fine but PC can't connect Post by: MC on August 19, 2012, 08:06:50 AM Argh, tilt.
Here I am merrily tapping away on my iPad connected fine to the Internet/router but my PC has no internet access through it. I have a wired and wireless connection available, no joy with either. Weirdly I tried a dongle and iPhone tether, and couldn't connect through these either, so presuming it's a PC problem of some description. All was fine yesterday and I don't see why anything would have changed. Have tried obvious things but googling hasn't heralded me any success as of yet. Any ideas? :( Edit: accessing the router through the IP address doesn't work either, weird. I can access it via iPad though. Edit: I tried a different ethernet cable, same problem.

Title: Re: Internet/router working fine but PC can't connect Post by: MC on August 19, 2012, 08:50:42 AM Have you deleted anything ? Not afaik. The only thing I can think of is that McAfee quarantined something yesterday. But I can't find how to unquarantine it and figured it was unlikely to be the problem. Am restoring my system atm, one time please.

It only restored it at 8pm last night. The only thing that was different was that TableNinja updated. Surely TableNinja couldn't wipe out my internet?!?!

Simple ping tests can be very helpful. Title: Re: Internet/router working fine but PC can't connect Post by: doubleup on August 23, 2012, 08:08:52 PM Not afaik.

Apparently a McAfee update has caused problems accessing the net. http://btbusiness.custhelp.com/app/service_status Title: Re: Internet/router working fine but PC can't connect Post by: maldini32 on August 24, 2012, 10:33:57 AM Not afaik.
