Filter Query

[trevorlawrence]

Hi All,

I have Windows Vista on my VAIO laptop. I use a wireless connection at
my dorm to connect to the internet.

Sadly, suddenly my Internet stopped working. It seems to be connected
but no page can be loaded. At first when I diagnosed and repaired it
said that there is no problem, but it still wouldn't load any pages. Now
when I do a diagnose and repair it says something about the filter query
policy being changed and to check my firewall setting.

I tried turning off my firewall but it didn't help. What should I do?
This is very annoying.

Thanks in advance.

If the machine has an IP that starts with 169, then the computer has not gotten an IP from the DHCP server on the LAN or the machine has lost it. The IP can be zero too, no IP period. Since it's not using a DHCP IP from a DHCP server on the LAN, then the machine has no connection to the Internet.However, the 169 IP will allow the machine to access other machines on the LAN, but it can't go to the Internet.You can check for the 169 IP by going to the Command Prompt and entering IPconfig /all.So, use Google and find out .How to reset TCP/IP on Vista. You can also try flushing DNS on Vista too.

try this, i might be a little wrong but it should work:

start>control panel>network connections> view connections
now u should see something like "Local area network" "wireless network"
right click on WIRELESS NETWORK , click DISABLE, then right click on it again and click ENABLE. that should work..
