Laptop running Windows 8 won't connect to internet


Recommended Posts

My lads laptop running Windows 8 refuses to connect to the internet. I have pinged the router and the connection is good, but if I ping wesites it will not connect. I though at first it was a browser problem, but neither IE or firefox would connect. I pulled up a comand line and pinged bbc.co.uk, Google, and youtube but it will not connect. He insists he has not been fiddling. We have cleared cache, temp files etc, shut down and powered on to no avail.

 

Any ideas welcome

Stand down. I rebooted the router and all is well.

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

Grangers law : anything i say will  turn out the opposite or not happen at all!
