Hello, I'm trying to sort out an Acer Aspire 5050 laptop with Vista Home Basic (not too impressed with Vista so far).
The Internet was working ok for the end-user then stopped working for no reason.
I cannot ping external, internal or loopback addresses. Absolutely nothing, even when I have set it to a fixed IP address I still can't ping anything, even the loopback. A ping test gives a General failure response.
Also, it won't pick up a dynamic IP address. It only gets an autoconfig 169. address.
Any ideas anyone????
