Limited To No Connectivity After Restoring To Factory Settings


I restored my dell to factory settings and everything was fine. I was trying to get my d-link antenna to work. I pulled out the air card while the computer was on and i'm wondering if i screwed something up. Everything seems to work fine except i cannot get onto the internet directly. I tried all the basic fixes like shutting down the cable modem and router and putting them back on. My laptop connects fine and the ethernet cable is fine. I tried repairing it going through network connections and that did nothing.

Restoring Laptop Back To Factory Settings

I think my laptop (acer 7720g) has got a virus because it freezes everytime i click the internet explorer icon to enable me to connect to the web. I have been advised by some of my friends to restore my laptop back to the factory settings, and in this way i could get rid of the virus. I shall be grateful if some one can kindly answer the following questions -

1. Would restoring the laptop back to factory settings get rid of the virus and enable me to connect to the internet as normal?

2. If so, how do i restore the company settings?

2. I have also been advised that there is no disc/cd available by which i can restore the laptop to the factory settings and that windows vista has an in built feature for doing this? Is that true? If so, how do i go about using it?

3. Finally, once i get my laptop up and running, i am thinking of putting on norton 360 anti virus. In your opinion, is this good anti virus software?

Wep - Limited Or No Connectivity

Ive got a dlink 604t and a pci card by dlink and a centrino laptop. I recently encrypted my network but only the laptop can connect to the network. My desktop says its connected but its saying limited or no connectivity. Ive checked that dhcp is on and it is, windows is assigning an ip address automatically. Ive checked the wireless network on the properties section on the d link icon on my desktop and it says its providing the key automatically and its the correct key. The desktop doesn't connect when the laptop is off line either so i don't think its a dual ip issue,

Limited Or No Connectivity Problem

Okay so today i signed up for comcast internet. I got it all set up and whenever i plug the ethernet cord from the modem to my laptop the error "limited or no connectivity" comes up. When i plug the cord into my ps3 the internet works perfectly. So something must be wrong with my computer. I have tried repairing the connection but it doesn't get passed the "renewing ip address step", any help?

Limited Internet Connectivity

I have a wired internet connection (ethernet) when connecting to the desktop it works straight away and automatically but when connecting to the laptop it says limited connectivity i thought at first it might be because it doesn't get the ip address automatically but that wasn't the case so i clicked the diagnose button and it said something about resetting the network adapter so i clicked on that and let it repair but that didn't seem to work either. How can i fix this problem?

Network Will Not Work - Limited Connectivity

I have a net gear router that is 4 ports/wireless and has been working great since the day i got it. Until last night. It all started where a vpn window would randomly pop up while i was surfing the net and would not let me "browse" until i canceled it. It started one in a great while then became more frequent to the point last night where now all hard wired rigs and wireless can not access the internet. My router shows with it's led's that it is working properly yet when i look at connections my vpn is disconnected and my lan connection is "limited connectivity". I have tried to repair, reconnect and set up a new connection to no avail. I have tried to reset the router but w/ no success. It's weird b/c all my wireless show great signal strength but can not connect.

Dell Dimension 4600 Limited Or No Connectivity

I am stuck on a problem with my parents pc, and i would really like to get this troubleshooted and fixed so that way i can get my gaming pc back. So they ain't corrupting it with the home improvement ideas and flowery websites

It is a dell dimension 4600. Was working fine the night before, and after being told it wont connect to the internet and getting home to take a look see it sure wont. The computer is running windows xp. The main issue is that in network connections it will show a limited or no connectivity sign. I have tried the following steps. Tried 4 different cat5-6 cables. 3 different nic's and everytime i do this it will then say media state disconnected in cmd and also in network connections. But in device manager shows the nics, and after rebooting it will see the cards, will try to establish a connection and then goto a disconnected in network connections. Like i said ive tried different nics, cables, system restore, rolling back drivers. I even had 1 of them usb -ethernet adapters, i can point to exactly were the drivers are but it wont even load the drivers. I even took the pc out to the shop and blew out the dust bunnys. Big mess. I have tried about all of my troubleshooting skills and i am just ending up with a big old brain ***. Any ideas? The pc is only 3-4 yrs old i think, but would be really nice to get the parents off of my pc so i dont keep seeing them looking at lovey dovey flowery websites and damaging my aggressive pc.

Wifi Ip Address Not Found - Limited Or No Connectivity

So last night i turned on the laptop and it would connect with my home internet, but it would say limited or no connectivity. When i tried to open internet it would say internet connection not found but when i connected the ethernet cable to it, it would say limited or no connectivity but the internet would open up just fine. I know it's not my internet because the desktop works just fine. The computer thing in the bottom shows that yellow triangle with the exclamation point in the middle. When i opened the wireless thing, it said repair, so i clicked on it and it opened up a little box saying disconnecting, then reconnecting, then trying to find ip address, then it says ip address not found. Help? Suggestions?

Limited No Connectivity / Dhcp Time Out Error

I did some research on here for ways to maybe fix the problem. I went to "services. Msc" to restart it, then i went to network connection and hit repair. As the user had recommended i tried this multiple times. Did not work. Still the "limited or no connectivity notice". I tried disabling the "limited or no connectivity notice" but that didn't change anything, i could still not connect to the internet. I also tried cheating by using all the info assigned to this computer (ip address, etc) and manually filling them in. Didn't work. Finally, i went to the command prompt to release the isp (which apparently i didn't even at this point have one assigned, it was just 00. 00 or something) and then renew. After a bit i got this message "unable to contact your dhcp server. (Or connect to can't remember exact phrase) then request has timed out. So i'm guessing something got screwed up with the computer that will need to be fixed for me to get connected again? I don't understand how this could have happened when the storm did not effect our power, just the internet connection. There have been times the power has gone out and this has never happened.

Can't Connect To Internet With Either No, Or Limited Connectivity

So, while i was on a trip to japan, my parents got a new router and set it up. Its now on a locked network, meaning that i now have to have a password entered. First of all, this all happened when i was gone. Can someone walk me through this process?

I can't connect to the internet and i entered in the password, and it says i'm connected to the network, but i can't connect to the internet with either no, or limited connectivity. Both my dad's and mom's laptops connect both to the network and the internet. So, what do i do? I dunno if this helps, but its on a wep kinda thing. I'm more interested in getting my laptop to work though, that's my main concern. Is this a router problem, or my laptop's problem? Because the same thing is happening to my brother too. The phone line is plugged in, and the router is a belkin model.

How To Restore Asus Notebook Factory Settings ?

How do i restore my asus notebook to its factory settings?

Answer:-
Your system probably has a 'recovery partition', which you can load by pressing one of the function key when you boot your system. One manual for an asus m50 series says that you need to press the f9 key at bootup and follow instructions, though this may not work with your particular model. Of course, depending on what options your recovery software has, this may overwrite any important documents currently on your system. I'd consider booting off of a live linux cd like 'puppy linux', then use a usb drive to backup any important documents on the hard drive before 'restoring' the operating system.

Restore Toshiba Laptop To Factory Settings

How do i restore my toshiba laptop to factory settings? I've pretty much tried everything, it didn't come with a recovery disk and when i restarted my computer and pressed whatever i pressed it only asked me to do memory diagnostics and to restore system settings with a restore point that i had to set that only set it to a recent point in time, which sucks. I got the computer in 08 and it runs windows vista if that helps any.

Restore Compaq Laptop To Factory Settings

How can i restore my compaq laptop to factory settings? Ok basically my computer is a mess and i want to make it like it was when i bought it.

Restore Hp Mini 110 To Factory Settings

My netbook hp mini 110 is started to run slower than it normally does. I think this is because i have too many programs installed and it's running low on memory. I am thinking about restoring it to factory settings. My netbook is running windows 7 home premium, but it came with windows 7 starter. Will restoring it set it back to starter? Also, what will happen once my netbook is set back to default factory settings? How long will it take?

How To Restore Sony Vaio Laptop Factory Settings ?

How do i restore my sony vaio laptop to its factory settings?

Answer:-

Vista factory reset

This will not work if you haven't a pre installed os held in a partition. So, you have nothing to lose give it a go. I assume vista as you don't mention what your os is

Switch off your pc completely and clear the working area. You're ready to go: - on switching on, from a completely off situation, immediately and repeatedly¯ hit f10 (can be manufacture dependant) as it runs up, it'll show/allow you the options, for example repair your computer¯ select this. Answer a couple other obvious questions but, you're looking for their top option e.g. Full destructive recovery¯ this is what you're after. Don't be shy, it will ask many more times, do you really want to do this¯ just keep clicking yes please. 1. This course of action will take about ten minutes and if you haven't saved any files that you might like to have kept its now too late. Remember this will take it back to the day you purchased. So, you can install any subsequent software, printer drivers for example, at a much later date. 2. Sit back and watch while it does its thing¦then bing its back and talking to you, to help you set up your new purchased pc. I suggest you install your (for you i suggest norton 3 user from tescos £24, that's 8 quid each, fit and forget. ) Or some such anti virus now. You'll need to update your system; this can be lengthy, boring and defiantly time consuming. Might i suggest you leave it on, connected, to your modem while you're in bed asleep while these updates arrive?

Restore Windows Xp To Factory Settings On Dell Desktop

Restoring windows xp to factory settings on a dell desktop. My family's desktop computer is riddled with viruses, so need to restore it to factory settings. All data backed up. With my old laptop i did the restoring thing a couple of times - in start up mode you press f11 i believe? But that was a sony, does that still work with dell?

I know sometimes you need a disc to reinstall windows xp but am not sure if the computer came with one (it's very old), and if it did, i doubt i'd be able to find it!
