Cable Connection Problem by nightcrawler50 on 07-25-2005 at 10:28 PM
Latley, i've been having trouble with my bloody cable connection on my XP. Sometimes MSN doesnt work and the internet exploerer does and vice versa.

Is the cable damaged? Physically or internally, You can always go buy a new cable.

it may be, but the real problem is that when i try to get on the internet it says it cant find my homepage or any other page but MSN still works
RE: Cable Connection Problem by M73A on 07-25-2005 at 10:56 PM
i used to get that
goto start - run -> cmd.exe and ping a few websites... and in the address bar of IE or FF put the ip address see if it loads then... (it loaded the page when i had a problem similar to this)

do you have a firewall that allows msn but blocks your web browser??
RE: Cable Connection Problem by nightcrawler50 on 07-25-2005 at 11:53 PM

It could be a physical problem with your network cable, but from what you've mentioned in your first post it doesn't sound like it. Have you been changing your network settings lately? Or firewall settings?

o wait i just fixed it for a little while, when the sign saying ur area connection plug was disonnected i clicked it before it went away and i repaired the problem.

Well, that would be a reason why you can't connect - you wouldn't be connected to the modem/router. Perhaps you need to find out why it keeps disconnecting your LAN connection. I remember I had a setting where mine would automatically be disabled, but I can't remember how or why it was configured that way. Maybe someone has an idea.

o, that sounds like it could be the same for my problem
RE: Cable Connection Problem by multimillion2k on 07-26-2005 at 01:25 AM
I think in my case I was using my Dad's computer as a gateway, and when his computer wasn't on when mine booted, the LAN connection was disabled. I've got a router now, so I don't have to worry about it anymore. I don't know if your situation is similar.
