Hi everyone. I have 5 machines on a network. The schematics look something like this:
DSL Modem & Router
\/
Wireless N Router --->(Via Cable) 1 PC
\/
(Via Wireless) --> 3 Desktops, 1 Laptop.
OK. My problem is that I have one of the desktop PC's Running Windows Vista Home Prem. can't load some websites, while those same websites can be viewed on the other PC's & Laptops. I've set some of them up via DHCP (Like the laptop since I take it everywhere I go and I need HOTSPOTS for it), and 1 desktop. The rest are already preconfigured to work on my network with specific IP addresses.
For example, the laptop has the following information:
IP address : 192.168.1.100
Subnet : 255.255.255.0
DNS : 192.168.1.1
While the desktop (where i'm having the problem) has the following:
IP address : 192.168.1.40
Subnet : 255.255.255.0
DNS : 192.168.1.1
I've also changed it to DHCP, and still the same result. ebay.com wont load! While sometimes searching on google, I click a link and it wont load. While on the laptop, clicking the same link will load. We're all on the same network with basically the same configuration. I know it's not the NIC because I changed it for one that I know works well, and still the same result... I've changed between firefox and IE and same results. Any ideas?
Thanks!

it's definitely not the network, as you can get to some sites. It's more likely a setting on the pc as far as security goes, you may want to look into the configuration settings on the browser.
But if you can get to sites like google, but can't get to other sites, that means you are getting to and through the gateway, so the network is sound. At that point, it comes down to something blocking your access to those sites. have you tried pinging the sites you can't get to by both name and ip? You could also try flushing the dns cache, but I would first start by emptying the IE/Firefox cache, cookies, and temporary files, and then see what happens. thanks, v
