So is this the ping results from your laptop or the other computer? The results show that the computer you pinged from is able to connect to yahoo.com.

ifish SG

maybe the only thing u need is patience?

ndmmxiaomayi SG

If the results is from your laptop, then internet connections are fine.

What security programs are installed on your laptop?

What version of IE are you using?

GIB SG

Check your IE proxy settings.

Y_Shun SG

we need the ping results from ur laptop, not ur internet connection..lols

caleb_chiang SG

Check your IE proxy settings.

I think that would the way to solve the problem. It could be that the internet connection in IE was not properly set up and thus it is trying to retrieve sites using different methods...

LongitudinaL SG

i did as wad u all said and the results is from my laptop.. i hand copied it here. My IE is verison 7.0.6000.16608!! and i nvr install any security programme.. onli something called ''VirusScan On-Access Scan is enabled'' which is alrdy install when i bought the laptop.. anyway i bought it from Singapore Poly. haha!

How do i check my proxy settings? and can teach me how to set it correctly so i can surf internet ??

LongitudinaL SG

oh ya juz to add on.. when i tried another method which windows microsoft provide.. the results are different!! Windows microsoft told me to type ''ping the 1st ip address under primary DNS servers'' and when i do so.. the results are shown...

Packets: Sent=4 , received=0 , Lost=4(100% loss).. when this result appear.. micrsoft told me tat i wasnt connected to internet.. its so ridiculos.. if i am not connected to internet then how come i can play online games and standard games like internet reversi,checkers etc.. THIS IS SO STRANGE... any experts can help out?? thanks alot.. treat u coffee .. haha

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Eh wait.

Do the following instead.

Start > Run, type in cmd and press Enter

Type in ipconfig /all and press Enter

LongitudinaL SG

Yaaa... after i typed ''ipconfig /all'' .. it shows alot of ip address lor.. u nid me to hand copied it over here again ?? for the sake of my laptop.. im willing.. hahahaha jk. so if nid me copy tell me..

abao SG

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Take screenshot, transfer to your computer, upload to a image hosting server and copy and paste the link here...

Acer laptop comes with Norton Firewall which tends to block some programs like msn etc. and my advise to you is that you try to turn it off which eventually might slove your problem or if not try calling their technical support hotline but I tell you this if you call them, do it in the morning if not you will end up waiting ages for their operator to pick up.

Lastly it is quite common you encounter such issue as Acer quality is not that good since they are cheap and they belong to low end side, my friends who bought acer regretted because they had to service their laptop quite often.

abao SG

Well, dont suan Acer before the all evidence are produced. Its more likely (at the moment) that the laptop is not getting the right DNS or configured correctly to surf the internet.
