Windows XP: Connected to WiFi but No Internet Access - Troubleshooting Guide

Hello, yesterday I installed new windows xp and all drivers, everything is nice, connects to wifi writes connected, but the internet does not work, will you help?

And how do you connect to the net, any modem? Provide the equipment specifications.

Did you configure the network card manually, or do ping to the router and eg google respond?

Hello.

So the drivers work, the signal is received, but you can't load the pages? What message do you get in the browser?

In Firefox, "server note found"

And you have the same thing on the cable?

Connect to the router: Tp-Link td-w8951nd
And the equipment: windows xp (servis pack 3) 1 ram Intel celeron processor

Something reminds me that a friend had a similar problem some time ago and the solution turned out to be setting automatic proxy settings ... maybe it's worth checking?

I ignore the fact that my friend had about 60,000 viruses and smoke was coming from my computer, but these are just details ...

You did not write whether ping to this router is responding.
Did you enter the gateway address manually and DNS addresses in the network configuration?

On other laptops at home it works normally, I did not add anything

Show device manager.

I think everything is ok with the drivers

Nothing results from this, because you don't even know what and what network adapters there are - he may not have detected them or installed.
And if he installed, it is not known with what drivers.

So the same XP was there before?
If so, you haven't installed everything or the wrong drivers.

What exactly is the wifi and LAN network card? - producer, designation.
Drivers downloaded from where these products?

Yes it was windows xp
Here are the cards:

Drivers from where downloaded?

Here you have the drivers:

Maybe you would check it out

Yes I wrote with him at PW he explained to me but still does not work

You already have a reason - something with your computer.
And I'm sure it's not what you did but what you didn't do.

Look in another browser.

All Windows updates installed?

Wiktorq ... and check what date and time you have in this XP set (if wrong, correct it).
If there is a bigger difference, you won't have a warning about the danger (not in minutes).

There is no this-that

It is simple as a flail design (I assume no ill will and combining [someone] at the hardware / driver level)
I would check in turn:

1) ping after loopback
in the console [cmd] you enter ping 127.0.0.1 and look if there are answers (4 should be)

If you don't get anything here - another error is in the windows themselves (in the TCP stack, most likely)

2) in the console [cmd] enter ipconfig / all
and you look at your network interfaces and how they are addressed
there should be at least one LAN type (Local Area Connection) with assigned IPv4 address to it



If you have no address (only with the physical address of the card only) - it means that DHCP gives the body (for some reasons - see below)
and you need to check the router configuration first (maybe you have, for example, set a limit on the number of clients, although in standard configurations I have not seen it anywhere) Or are you not blocked any physical addresses of the cards? Or maybe you have turned on the option to block the assignment of IP addresses to cards not included in the list? . The second option - on an Ethernet cable - e.g. one-way communication - that is, physical damage to one of the veins.
Check - by moving and connecting this cable to another - "up to date" computer. Another possibility is - errors during auto-negotiation of the connection mode (full duplex / halfduplex and speed) - then you have to experiment with setting them in the network adapter driver.

3) If you have the IP address of your network on the card (in the case of the screen it is class C with the address 192.168.xx and if everything is OK, now try in the [cmd] console to ping the router (default gateway address), e.g.
ping 192.168.xx (where xx is the end of your computer's IPv4 address)
(in your case it may be an address from the class 10.0.0.x but you will see it on the printout as pasted above - in the default gateway field)
You should also get 4 correct answers (with some times

The solution can be surprisingly simple. I installed Firefox 43.0.1 under XP (SP3) (if I remember correctly), downloaded from Mozilla's FTP server using another computer. I am already connected to the internet in this version. However, it's worth updating. Firefox does it itself, after selecting information about the program in the "Help" menu. Good luck.
