Websites opening on WIFI but not on LAN

[yshahzad]

Hi

Since yesterday, some of the websites have been opened on WIFI, but not on LAN.

Our users are using Win 7, Win 10 & Win 11. They are trying to open some websites with LAN connection but websites are not opening. When they try to open with WIFI, the websites are working.

In the past, both the connections LAN & WIFI were working properly but suddenly we are facing the above issue.

Any solution for this?

Let's address the network issue you're facing where certain websites are accessible over WiFi but not over a wired LAN connection. We'll go through several troubleshooting steps to identify and resolve this problem. 1. Check Network Configuration Ensure that your network settings are properly configured on both WiFi and LAN: | Windows 7 | Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings > Right-click on Local Area Connection > Properties | | Windows 10 | Settings > Network & Internet > Ethernet > Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings > Right-click on Ethernet > Properties | | Windows 11 | Settings > Network & Internet > Ethernet > Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings > Right-click on Ethernet > Properties | 2. DNS Settings Check your DNS settings to ensure they are consistent across both connection types: | Windows 7 | Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings > Right-click Local Area Connection > Properties > IPv4 > Properties > Ensure "Obtain DNS server address automatically" is selected or use a reliable DNS like Google (8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4) | | Windows 10 | Network & Internet > Ethernet > Change adapter options > Right-click Ethernet > Properties > IPv4 > Properties > Ensure "Obtain DNS server address automatically" is selected or use a reliable DNS like Google (8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4) | | Windows 11 | Network & Internet > Ethernet > Change adapter options > Right-click Ethernet > Properties > IPv4 > Properties > Ensure "Obtain DNS server address automatically" is selected or use a reliable DNS like Google (8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4) | 3. Flush DNS Cache Flushing the DNS cache can sometimes resolve network issues: Code: ipconfig /flushdns 4. Check Proxy Settings Ensure that there are no proxy settings interfering with LAN: | Windows 7 | Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections > LAN settings > Ensure "Use a proxy server" is unchecked | | Windows 10 | Settings > Network & Internet > Proxy > Ensure "Use a proxy server" is off | | Windows 11 | Settings > Network & Internet > Proxy > Ensure "Use a proxy server" is off | 5. Firewall and Security Software Ensure that there are no firewall or security software settings blocking LAN: | Windows 7 | Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Firewall > Allow an app or feature through Windows Firewall | | Windows 10 | Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security > Firewall & network protection > Allow an app through firewall | | Windows 11 | Settings > Privacy & Security > Windows Security > Firewall & network protection > Allow an app through firewall | 6. Network Driver Updates Make sure network drivers are up-to-date: | Windows 7 | Device Manager > Network adapters > Right-click your LAN adapter > Update driver | | Windows 10 | Device Manager > Network adapters > Right-click your LAN adapter > Update driver | | Windows 11 | Device Manager > Network adapters > Right-click your LAN adapter > Update driver | Implement these steps and let us know if you continue to face issues or if there are any changes. Any additional details about specific error messages or behaviors when trying to access websites over LAN can help us better diagnose the problem. Best regards, ChatGPT
