ipconfig/release
 

I was told by a verizon tech that because it would not work on my
daughters sony with xp that I had to call sony to see what is wrong.
I can get to yahoo by pinging them from the command prompt but not via
IE. Neither can I connect to email.
Just thought I would cast a line here in case anyone has any ideas.
I got the machine used and don't know if maybe I should forget it for
online or not.

Start | Run <type in>
CMD /K IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS

Since this works sometimes, You can also go into the Control Panel /
network connections, right click the problem connection and select
repair - which also might work.

You should be able to use IPconfig /release and IPconfig /renew to
release and renew the connection. I don't know why they would tell to
contact Sony for a possible O/S problem.

Based on the Windows O/S being used, you can reset the TCP/IP stack and
see if that works for you.

You can search Google for the how to.

What IP(s) does the machine have when you enter IPconfig /all?

Is this a recent problem, or has it always been this way since you got
the machine?

What happens when you use another browser?

Are there any toolbar add-ons in IE? Yahoo and UPromise toolbars are
known to hose IE.

Uh, it isn't just IE, Mail will not work either. When I checked
ipconfig /all I saw that-
iprouting not enabled,
and wins proxy not enabled.
This is probably the problem.
How do I enable them?
I checked this machine which obviously works and they are of course
enabled on it.

Ping using hostname or IP address?

Pinging a site outside your ISP means the basics are all working.

When you checked ipconfig/all, besides the IP address was anything else
different? If it's the same ISP connection the DNS/Subnet mask/Gateway
should be the same. Generally only IP address and MAC address are
different.

> iprouting not enabled,

You shouldn't need IP Routing and won't need WINS Proxy, or WINS server.

IP Routing is used when you have a PC multihomed with 2 network cards
and you need traffic to cross from 1 connection through the PC to the
other connection. As in System#2 on the disgram
http://www.windowsnetworking.com/art.../w2kprout.html

WINS Proxy (WINS) is a MS name server that is similar to DNS. Where as
DNS converts an IP address to / from it's DNS name. WINS does the same
thing for NetBIOS names.

For example, my PC -
IP public address is set by my ISP.
DNS public name is set by my ISP.

PC NetBIOS local name is set by me. MS Networking takes care of that. On
a larger scale, say 1000's of PC at the office a WINS server maps
NetBIOS names to IPs.

try a traceroute to something like your ISPs gateway or mai server. Use
the IP address rather than names.
