Solved Huge Problem with "Limited Access"

jadom · Sep 22, 2015

Newbie with a big network problem is saying "Hello" to every1 in this forum.

I was surfing last three days on the Web and have tried tens of tests trying to resolve my problem and no success so far.

So I decided to search here for luck, perhaps a miracle will happen. Otherwise I am facing system reinstall and this will be disaster due to all data and software I will need to copy and reinstall.

Let me briefly tell you what happened:

A several days ago long time not seen BSOD said "hello, I'm here" to me. I thought that I'll restart my comp and after its self test everything will go back to normal.

Unfortunately I was wrong because BSOD started to visit me more and more often.

I know that anything can cause BSOD so I decided to perform memory test. I did let computer do it and amazingly I got message that everything is OK but my comp was still crashing. I decided to perform one more memory test to be 100% sure that it is not memory problem.

I removed all 4 RAM chips from slots, put one of them back in slot and started computer. Guess what happened? Nothing. Computer could not boot. I put it in another slot and had exactly the same result: nothing. I put next 3 chips in the same slots one after one and computer was booting flawlessly. No crashes. 3 chips (6Gig) back in slots - no any problem. After adding first one - problems and crashes.

So now I have 3 RAM memory chips (6Gig) working. No problem with booting, no problem with crashes.

But I got another problem after that which I have never had before: "Limited Access" Wi-Fi connection. Read: no connection to network, no internet. Uninstalling, disabling, reloading driver, changing IP address of my Realtek RTL 8187 leads to nowhere. Computer is not showing any errors in this matter; everything looks perfect but access is still limited.

I did restart my Windows from original installation disc, performed system repair and nothing. All Network Services were started.

I went to my local internet provider and let them check my router and we tried to find access using their tools. Still nothing. I did suggest them to check connection using Ethernet cable and result was the same "Limited Access" and no connection.

Am I missing something.

Can anybody help me? Pleaseeeeee....... :cry:

Welcome to the forums, can you post a pic of your device manger showing your network devices and your details for the nic you are trying to use.

Hello rvcjew:

Thanks for your response. Please, enlighten me how to take picture of Device Manager and attach it into my post here. Right now I do all my internet connection via my laptop which has no problem with connection to the same router. So it means that I have to save all pictures, you are asking for to my memory stick and then copy it into my post on laptop.

Any advice?

Thanks in advance.

I'm on phone now so can't find link atm but use the snip tool in Windows to take and save it as a png then upload those png files on the forum with the paperclip icon when posting.

To take a screenshot and upload it click start > right click my computer > click manage > then click device manager.

Once you have done that press the print screen button on your keyboard, open paint. Paste the picture into paint (CTRL + V) and save the picture. Then when posting a reply to this thread you will see a little paperclip which is the button to attach a file click that and find your file and select upload.

Also Please can you open a command prompt and type ipconfig /all and tell us the output here.

rvcjew · Sep 23, 2015

Yes, ipconfig /all would also work. I'm betting it's a dns issue your having.

Thank you all for help. It took me a while to create all images. I will post it shortly.

OK Guys. I have 44 images total. I know that many of them are useless and you do not need them but I wanted to give you as much information as I could. And its gonna be a few posts because I do not think I can stick them all in one post.

I know that you probably will need some more info. Just let me know.

So here we go:
