Good evening,
I am helping out a friend. She has the Toshiba A135-S4527. Anyway, she said that it won't connect to the internet. So she gave the laptop to me to fixed it. Since I know very little about Windows Vista, its hard to tell. I managed to connect to my wireless router, but still no internet. I was thinking about doing a clean install of Vista to get rid of junkwares, inorder to fix it. I do agreed the programs should be remove, but what is exactly causing the block of the internet?
TIA
JC

What are your Ping and Tracert results?

Vista is not much different from XP in the way networks are configured.
What do you mean you can connect to the wireless router, but not the internet? That really sounds like you are not getting an IP address (DCHP) and probably not DNS either. Both likely security issues with the wireless setup. -

you can try netsh int reset all
or netsh reset winsock
what you ipconfig show ? -

Do some pint test.
ping yahoo.com
ping 66.94.234.13
If you can pint the IP and not the name you are not getting a valid DNS serves. If you can not ping IP either NO Gageway.
Check to make sure the firewall is not blocking your connections. -

Also, ipconfig /all to see if you have a valid IP Address on the network interface being used in the range your DHCP assigns and that you have valid DNS server(s) assigned. -
I got it fixed by doing a clean install of Vista.

Probably overkill, but whatever works, I guess.
