Hi guys,
I have a laptop which works perfectly well from home, accessing the internet, so I know adapters, drivers and settings are working there.
I normally use the laptop at work, using wifi through my shop hard wired network, which contains a point-of-sale PC, a server and diskless workstations. All of these can access the internet. Suddenly, my laptop stopped accessing the internet.
My laptop still connects to the LAN and I can network map it and I can ping the server. I'm guessing it is a setting somewhere that has changed, but I have not knowingly done so, either with the laptop or the work LAN. I'm using Windows 7 professional on the LAN and Windows 7 Ultimate on the laptop.
Any ideas anyone? Many thanks in advance.
As an update, I have just found that someone else has the same problem, that they cannot connect through our LAN. That suggests to me that the problem is LAN/router/server based rather than individual settings on laptops etc.
