Sounds broken. It's anyone's guess why it works with this detail.
Let's see a speccy report and maybe the output about the DNS in use.
Ok I really can't figure this out and I have been trying for months, hopefully somebody here can..
My internet was disconnected from lack of not paying the bill.
I would open my web browser from my laptop and it would say "unable to connect "
I Looked at my local area connection and it says..
Access type: Internet
HomeGroup: Joined
Connection : Local area Connection .... I still was connected. The web browsers still said unable to connect to network contact your isp...
So I went to wireless connections to see if anybody had a open wireless connection and I found one belkin guest 1.5 speed Very slow. .. My isp was cable with 40 mbps speed..
I connected to the wireless network but still had my ethernet connected to my modem..
The wireless connection opened into a browser "type password to get access"
I closed the browser and reopened it and my yahoo home page opened up..Did a speed test .. 46 mbps download 7 mbps upload ...What happened was my lan connection and modem kick in and took over the connection... But if I disconnect from the wireless network my lan connection won't open a web page....
Basically this is how I been getting internet access for the past 7 months..Using belkin guest wireless network to get to the browser saying type password in.. closing it then my connection takes over.. Can anybody explain this
