Im typing from my PS3 right now. My PC refuses to let me online. Any suggestions? My PS3 is wireless, PC is wired. I posted an image in the thread 2 below this one that shows my problem, except doing what I did last time didn't work.

What Internet Provider do you have?

LOL That doesn't matter. I can access the internet with my PS3. It is my router that is the problem. It is a linksys WRT54G I think.

[Big Joe]

The Linksys is a wireless internet connection for the PS3 right? Ok did you try the repair option on the wireless network connection?

Wow, no suggestions? I'm surprised. Guess I wont be that active until my router stops acting up

[Fatal]

hmm, very strange, im guessing you've tried power cycling the router?

The only thing that ever works for me is shutting everything off, and unplugging for the night.

[Fatal]

only thing I can think of atm is power cycling the router combined with right clicking your network device and pressing repair

[Hawk]

Meh, ill try it later. BTW Did you see the error message I get when repairing? Its in another thread similar to this and down about 4 topics

/flushdns

I'm guessing it's Windows Caches, not your internet connection.

[Melchoire]

Try unplugging and replugging your router, use the repair command on you local connection. The simplest things usually work

if the cache thing fixes it hawk, I will show you something that it will prevent some cache problems But if it was a cache problem I would think that not ALL websites would be broken

I still think its my router It let me on today, so I won't complain too much.

Hawk, try unplugging your router and then plugging it back in. It usually works for me. You should ask Cataliste, he is like the internet GOD.

i doubt its the router, if your PS3 works, im almost positive its a windows based problem

go into your registry to here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DNSCache\Parameters

make a new dword value called "NegativeCacheTime" and put the value as 0

restart

then

ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

Also, if you tweak your services

start>run>services.msc and make sure you DIDNT disable "DNS Client", it should be automatically starting, and enabled

worth a try, if not you can try somethin else

There isn't a "NegativeCacheTime"

[Melchoire]

Apparently, you're supposed to create it.

Haha, I can't read That would explain it

yea you create it..

[Hawk]

yea you create it..

Yea... and I still get the same error when I try to flush.

[Bryan]

Try booting in safe mode and flushing the dns.

Is it all internet you can't visit or just specific sites? Try typing in a site you've never visited before.

If that doesn't work, type 'netsh winsock' reset in command prompt.
