I have a connection problem I can't solve, and I'm in Korea so there's a language-barrier regarding tech-support. If this question is inappropriate for this site, let me know and I will move it.
I have a Lenovo ThinkPad, running Windows 7. My neighbor and I share internet, and I can connect to her iptime router. However, I have no internet connection even though I'm connected to the network. I can connect if I go over to her apartment and plug the cable into my laptop, and everyone else can connect to it and get internet. I've also power-cycled the whole system, reset the router and modem, and done a system-restore to a time before I installed some updates.
This happened about 1 month ago, before the problem solved itself, but it has happened again. I'm sure that's more than you care to know, so tell me what kind of detailed info about my system I should supply. Thank you!
1Check if you have a static IP set. In Windows, static IPs are set for an interface, and wireless and wired are usually different interfaces. If you have a static IP that conflicts with another on the network, or you're using the wrong subnet or gateway, then it won't work - the easiest way is to just switch it to automatic (DHCP). – Bob – 2014-03-30T09:58:28.780
I have "Obtain an IP address automatically" set for both IPv6 and IPv4 - which I assume is what you're referring to? – Matt R. – 2014-03-30T10:13:57.663
Yea. At least that part seems fine. – Bob – 2014-03-30T10:19:19.277
There's a vague possibility it's a DNS problem. – Daniel R Hicks – 2014-04-01T02:03:10.967
