Limited or no connectivity

How do I solve this problem
I have reset router
tried static IP's
used windows XP sp2 fix
used netsh winsock reset catalog
tried wireless and hard wired
this is for a number of users so their routers wouldn't all go at the same time although I advised 1 user to buy another router and everything worked

When the limited or no connection comes up again, try right clicking on it and choosing repair. I hope this solves your problem

Smc router says limited connectivity and won't work.

Hi,

I experienced the same issue before with my route,try doing these steps im sure this will work somehow. (flush the DNS cache)

How to do it:

If you are using Windows 2000/XP operating sysytem

-Fire up a Command Prompt (Start Menu>Accessories) and execute the command
ipconfig -flushdns

if you get 'could not flush dns' or message saying dns resolver cache could not be flushed.

If it is XP SP2 then go to Start > Run > CMD > type netsh winsock reset > enter, restart as prompted, if still no connection then go to Start, Control Panel (Network and Internet Connections then Network Connections -or- straight to Network Connections, double click on the Local Area Connection in use (usually the one that says Connected) and pick Support. Try the Repair button after Winsock fix. Use that winsock fix only if you are using SP2.


go to "start, control panel, administration tools,services,then look for DNS Client, and make sure it's started, and set to manual.

Wireless connection keeps failing

I have a similar problem with my Linksys G router. It is putting out a weird ip address through DHCP. While this does not fix the problem, setting up a static ip eliminates it for now. If I ever find out the cause, I will post it.
