    Hey everyone, I'm not sure if internet troubleshooting belongs in Software, but I can't think of anywhere else but Off-Topic, but its not THAT Off-Topic, so I need help!

    I have three computers in my house, all connected to one reuter. For some reason, my computer doesn't have any internet, but my other two computers aren't affected. I check the "Internet Connections", and they say that the computer is connected to LAN, and I've tried "Repair" many times, I've disconnected the computer's internet wire, I've restarted the computer, but still no internet.

    The computer says there is a connection, but I can't access Windows Live Messenger, or Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer.

    Try pinging your router's IP. click the Windows + R button, type cmd, press enter, type "ping 192.X.X.X" (no quotation marks though) where X is the rest of your router's IP.

    Your router might have blocked your machine's MAC address. Check your router configuration.
