My wifi internet connection keeps turning off and on as though it is firewalled but when i temp turn the firewall off the same problem happens. Ive had the computer checked out and updated but this problem keeps happening. Ive tried turning off the medem at the base and leaving then turning back on but the same problem happens.

SOURCE: remote firewall??

have you got one live or windows defender?, if so check in the allowed menu to see if your roters ip address is being blocked, also check any other firewall or anti virus programmes.

SOURCE: No internet connection when I install AVG

please make a detailed explain of the roblem ...the only way of the avg to interfere with the connection is if it has settings for this ...like it own firewall ( I mean avg firewall) this is not available in any of the free avg ..so ..the problem is a different kind... go to bios at the features setup ...and look if it detects your LAN ..or modem ( in case) ..the last one needs to be enabled if ya are on this kind of connection .if you use a LAN connection ..and you can not find it into your bios...than try to remove cmos battery to reset and it will see it again ...if you do that dont forget to re set the time and date ..cause it would not start windows without ..it will prompt you to do that first ...

SOURCE: cannot connect to the internet. message reads firewall/query user.

Hi there.
With WinXP go to the control panel select security center, click on manage security settings for windows firewall, click on the advanced tab and then click on restore defaults, it will give you a warning but click ok and it will reset.
With Vista go to the control panel select security center, in the top left of the window click on windows firewall, then select change settings, click on the advanced tab and carry on just like with XP.
When you have reset the firewall to defaults its recommended you restart the PC.
Please post back with the results and thanks for using FixYa!!

SOURCE: Dell Inspiron 6000 will not connect to internet

It is still possible that it is infected

whilst AVG and S&D are good I dont know of any security product that "does it all"

I would reccomend "superantispyware" and "malwareantibytes"


http://www.superantispyware.com/index.html

http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php


download them to a usb drive and install them to the affected computer and run them

Set any setting to scan as deep and as many items as possible

It is also concievable that a virus or trojan has taken over some of the network settings and possibly the "HOSTS" file

Another program to download and run would be "hijackthis"

http://download.cnet.com/Trend-Micro-HijackThis/3000-8022_4-10379544.html


That program can save a log file which can be posted to particular web sites. On these sites are people who know how to disect that log and tell you what to remove and how.
