Internet connection unknown and public??

[robertification]

Hello,

Last night I tried to connect my laptop to the internet, but I wasn't able to...

I tried on another computer and that one was able to connect to the internet, as was my iPhone...this would logically point out the problem lies with my laptop...

My internet connection is recognised by my laptop as an unknown and public internet connection, and I can't access the internet...

When I search for solutions, windows says the standard gateway is offline and it can't be solved...?

Help???


if any definitions aren't translated well, I'm sorry(I use a dutch pc)

This sounds like the standard unidentified network problem which is caused by a rogue default gateway of 0.0.0.0. which sometimes happens when outdated hardware is being used. The link below shows you how to fix that problem.

This link shows you how to change the network location.

Guten Tag Robert, are you attempting to connect at home? Are you using a hard connect router?

 

[Jacee]

Have you tried a Winsock repair?

Open command prompt, right click and run as Administrator. Type or copy/paste

netsh winsock reset

Press enter. Now reboot and see if you can connect.

In that case can you please post a screen shot of your ipconfig /all , type that into your command prompt and hit enter then post here.

@jacee: already tried that doesnt work
@adrian: i am connecting with a wireless router at home(speedtouch 580)

for anyone who wants to remind me of the bonjour dns service, I already know and it doesnt work for me

Thanks for posting the screen shot of your ipconfig.

You will definately want to update the firmware on your Thompson ST580 modem-router to be compatible with Windows 7.
DSL Support - ST580 series firmware

i already tried that, but i couldnt upgrade it because the wizard cant find the device....

im not so far from pulling my hair out, since ive been at this for about 20 hours by now...

 

[chev65]

Thats an older router so most likely it's not going to work unless you can get that firmware to work for you. I'm not sure what the problem might be. Usually if you point the wizard to the .bin file it will pick it up and install it.

 

[robertification]

but it worked just fine until yrsterday , ive been using it for half a year already...

i will now try to upgrade it again

*UPDATE*
the wizard still cant find the device, although ive directed it to the folder where the .bin file is...

 

[robertification]

well, i tried the wizard three times now, still no result... any advice?

Ok, as I understand it, you have a wireless router connected to a system and you need to access the router to reflash the router? Is this correct?

 

[Adrian]

Access your Router

Robert in my previous post are you able to access your router by the connected pc?

 

[Adrian]

Connect your Laptop

Are you able to hard connect your laptop to the router?

Speedware 580

Hey Matey, are you in NZ?
I have a link to the Speedware 580 which also has an update app: DSL Support - ST580 series firmware

Check out the link,, or down load the binary and acess your router using your browser and type the following: http:// 192.168.1.1 and reflash the router.

My laptop finds the router and connects to it, but doesnt recognise it ...
