Networking & wireless: Wireless connection 'connected', but pages don't load
Wireless connection 'connected', but pages don't load
by John Joyce - 7/5/06 9:44 AMHi,
I currently have two net connections: ethernet, and wireless. I'm using ethernet at the moment, and have done for a while, and it works fine. When I turn ethernet off, and enable the wireless connection, it connects (after manually fixing the 'limited or no connectivity' issue last night), but web pages refuse to load. It says I'm not connected to the internet (or it can't load the page).
I'm thinking that possibly my 'fix' of the limited or no connectivity may have cleared up the problem on the face of things, but really it's still there partly. I could be wrong though.
The signal strength is 'excellent'. It's a Belkin 801.11g Wireless Notebook Network Card. Speed is 11mbps. Use WEP encryption and network key. Under 'Support', 'Address Type' is 'Manually Configured' (probably what I did last night - after installing the card, which hasn't been used on this computer before). It's been used on another laptop and worked fine. If you need any more information please ask.

IP Config

Be sure

command prompt or Run dialog box
by mimikang - 1/25/09 12:44 AM In reply to: Be sure by Darton FuryHello,
i am really confused here by the answer. I am having same problem with the screen disappearing in a half second after typing ipconfig into the command line (start>run) in win2k. Your advice is not to use the command prompt but the Run dialog box and the gentleman admitts it helped. Could you please explain in detail what is the difference between command prompt and Run dialog box? I thought it is the same thing but the response to a command typed into the Start>run>open box disappers in a fraction of a second and the information is lost. Could you please help?
Thank you.
Mimiko

Sorry, you're right - I was using the 'Start' > 'Run' dialog.
Here is a screenshot of the results of my 'ipconfig /all' search:
