Problems logging on to the Internet!

[xXSevenXx]

It took me 3 hours to log on to the Internet this morning .
I've been having problems logging on since I installed Win 7.
I've taken screen-shots of network connected info.
Please help.

Try going to the router's config page and set the lease time to maximum. If no help, change the wireless channel in use to another one. Good luck.

The lease time is set to 'Forever'

Alright then, yeah. Try using channel 1 instead and see how that goes. If there is a setting for beacon interval, try lowering it also.

Hi I changed the channel to 6 and I re-booted a couple of times and no problems.
The ONLY setting I haven't messed with was the channel.
I have also set up a Static Ip for torrents, and the D/L figures are very good.
I shall monitor the connections etc, and report back.
Thanks.
Ps There's no beacon setting.

Great move. Static ip is always best imho for many reasons. Anyhow, you were probably getting interference from neighbors' routers or other utilities in your home such as phone/microwave etc...

...continued good luck to you.

You're welcome.

Try flushing your DNS cache and resetting your Hosts file

Copy and paste these lines in Note pad.
@Echo on
pushd\windows\system32\drivers\etc
attrib -h -s -r hosts
echo 127.0.0.1 localhost>HOSTS
attrib +r +h +s hosts
popd
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset all
netsh int ip reset all
shutdown -r -t 1
del %0

Save as flush.bat to your desktop.
Right click on flush.bat, choose to run as Administrator to run it.

As soon as I finished doing this my computer re-booted, and would not connect to the 'net. I ran Windows diagnostics and received the message as in the screen-shot.
It also applied a fix and my Static Ip info was wiped out from the adapter properties and re-set.

Update
I re-booted my computer and it would not log on, then I noticed that my Google 'get mail' gadget was logged on, however the icon in the sys tray was showing 'busy' and still is as I type this.
What's the problem?

Have you enabled DHCP?

Go to the LAN connection's properties on each machine and make sure that:

• File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks and Client for Microsoft Networks are enabled.
• NetBIOS over TCP/IP is set to Enable (not Default ) in the TCP/IP Properties > Advanced > WINS .

On Windows 7, make sure that Network Discovery is turned on.
If you assign a static IP address, you must also assign IPV4 Default Gateway and IPv4 DNS Server to have Internet access

Okay, I did as you suggested and enabled DHCP as per your instructions I re-booted and I was logged on.
Where do I assign IPV4 Default Gateway and IPV4 DNS Server if I want a Static IP?

See if these instructions help you:
How do I configure my static IP address?

That's how I configure mine.
I thought it may have been more complicated than that. lol

 

[Jacee]

So are you connected?

 

[xXSevenXx]

So are you connected?

Yes, everything seems okay.
I shall report back here if I have the same problems.
Thanks very much for your help.

You're welcome and thank you

Hi When I logged on to the 'net today it took about 4mins, however, I didn't receive the usual errors in Event viewer, apart from one.
Check out the screen-shots!
As you can see from the time i switched my comp on (12:14), it took about 4mins to log on.
