ping test

I use an ASUS RT-AX88U router for my home network which is set to always use a specific IP address (i.e., 192.168.1.111) for my primary computer which has always worked fine for years. More than two months ago, the original ASUS motherboard in my 10+ year-old self-built PC, running Windows 10...

Problem: I've been having packet loss for the past week. This appears to be large packets sent in any consistent pattern. For example: Running something like: ping -l 8192 -t usatoday.com Would return a time out every few lines. I'm also seeing games flash warnings of packet loss. My...

Hi all, I have a new Windows 8 pc and I need to connect to our website's remote SQL Server database. Everything works fine on our older Windows 7 pc's, but on Windows 8 I get a "The server was not found or was not accessible..." error. Our hosting company has us use a VPN in order to connect...

Hi there! From what I've been seeing and been doing my research for the past two days, many people have been having the same issues throughout the years, however, this is the first time I've encountered this issue and many of the specific workarounds or fixes have not worked for me. I've been...

Greetings. I am having a problem connecting to the internet in a public library where all other laptop users are connecting successfully. The curious part of the connectivity issue (to me, anyway) is that according to my computer I AM connected to the network. I have provided some screen caps...

OK, so here is the deal: about 6 months ago I purchased a brand new laptop and connected it to my DLink router that has been working on our PC for about 3 years now. I also have 2 Playstations and 2 other laptops connected to the D Link (all of which are working fine and NEVER have any problems...

Hi, I've searched the internets trying to find an solution to my problem and while I haven't found one yet, I always find myself back on these forums so I thought I might as well sign up and ask here... Problem: New Windows 7 Ultimate PC cannot connect to my home network or the internet for...

Hi I have a basic networking problem that I don’t really understand as I don’t know much about win 7. I have recently re-built a win2k3 R1 server and can’t connect to a win7 ultimate desktop anymore when I could previously. I can connect from win 7 to the server and see shared directories...

I realize there are a number of XP/7 networking threads. I'm not seeing in any of them the specific situation I have so I'm starting antoher. This is an existing wireless network, with three XP machines and one Vista machine. All connect and share just fine. I'm adding one Win7 machine...

I'm getting an average ping of about 800-900 pinging to yahoo.com. When I ping to my default gateway it's still about 800-900 which tells me it's a problem with something before it gets out of the dsl router. I think it may be a driver issue with Windows 7, because I dual boot Ubuntu and have no...

Hi, So I bought a crossover cable just to connect two laptops. Like, a network. Mine is running on windows 7 and the other laptop is running on Vista. So I configured both laptops to be in the same workgroup (left the homegroup in win7) and configured both NIC's to have an IP in the same class...

Hi all, I came to this forum in order to get a solution for my problem. As many know and some would know now, when the drivers are not available for Windows 7, the NIC will just return a APIPA i.e., 169.x.x.x IP. We all thought this is a driver issue, but how do we find whether it is a driver...
