My net book is showing a Local intranet and not the internet how can I fix that

Hi there


When we say your computer is showing local intranet but not the internet then it must be an issue with some of the settings and could also be firewall settings. Lets try these steps to check whats going on.

First i'd say please go to command prompt (START -> RUN -> CMD)
Type IPCONFIG and check for the IP ADDRESS and DEFAULT GATEWAY.
(Normally the IP ADDRESS starts 192.168.xx.xx)
Then PING the Default gateway by entering the Default Gateway( Command for pinging the default gateway is PING "default gateway number")
Check whats the reply you are getting and it should say Packet Sent=4, Received =4 and Lost =0.

Then type ping www.google.com and check whether you gets the same reply Packet Sent=4, Received =4 and Lost =0.

If you gets all these positive then there is no problem with your network. We have to check for the internet explorer settings. First you check with this settings and revert with details. So that i ould be able to assist you better.
