Hi All,

broadband modem >> nic 1 >>> internet is working fine.

Nic 2 >>> switch >>>> laptop >>>> can ping any site ( by ip or by name) >>> but unable to browse in browser.


Nic 1 >>>> DHCP configured ..... and shared with nic 2

Nic 2 >>>> manually configured and connected to swich.

switch >>>> laptop >>>> laptop nic is configured manually.

It seems like you're experiencing connectivity issues with your setup where one network interface card (NIC) is configured with a broadband modem, and the other NIC is set up to share the internet with your laptop through a switch. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can follow to try and resolve the problem: 1. Check Network Configurations: - Verify that the IP configurations on all devices are correct and there are no conflicts. Ensure that NIC 1 is properly configured to share the internet with NIC 2. 2. Check NIC Settings: - Double-check the settings of NIC 2 to ensure it is configured correctly. It's important to set the correct IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS servers. 3. Check Switch Connectivity: - Ensure that the switch is functioning properly and that there are no issues with the connection between NIC 2 and the switch. 4. Check Laptop Network Settings: - Confirm that the laptop's network settings are correct and in line with the IP configuration needed to communicate through the switch. 5. DNS Resolution: - Since you can ping DNS and IP addresses but are unable to browse, there might be an issue with DNS resolution. Make sure DNS settings are correctly configured on both NICs and the laptop. 6. Firewall and Antivirus Software: - Temporarily disable any firewall or antivirus software to check if they are causing the browsing issue. 7. Browser Settings: - Clear the cache and cookies in Internet Explorer. Also, check the browser settings to ensure there are no proxy settings configured that might be affecting browsing. 8. Browser Troubleshooting: - Try accessing different websites to see if the issue is specific to Google. You can also try using a different browser to see if the problem persists. 9. Reboot Devices: - Sometimes, a simple restart of all devices in the network chain (modem, PCs, switch) can resolve connectivity issues. 10. Network Troubleshooter: - Use the built-in network troubleshooter in Windows to diagnose and potentially fix any network-related issues automatically. By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the connectivity issue you are facing. If the problem persists, please provide more details or let me know if you need further assistance.
