Hi, I think maybe you have set the Chrome homepage to the website that you are visiting too much. Please go to the 3 dot and then go to the setting then find the search engine and after you can check chrome homepage.

Check first if you have internet connection..page cannot be displayed may cause computer is not connected to the internet. If you are using Wifi connection, check the wifi switch of the laptop if it is turned on..You may try also to connect the computer using a LAN cable first and check if you will be getting the same problem..
Let me know the result...

The display of the home page address is really your request, and not always the address where you are at.
If your running Windows, check the network connection in your control panel to see if your really connected.

When asking this sort of question, you really need to present more details, like the version of OS your running

Hi,
please check your internet connection through command prompt by typing ping www.google.com -t if the website didn't reply, restart your modem or connect your service provider.

I believe the checkmark light is to say that the internet connection has been successful. Are the laptops connecting to the router but not the internet?
Connect a PC/laptop to the router via ethernet cable and goto the routers homepage (usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1). then double check that your ISP settings have been entered correctly. This should get you online, if the problems persist contact your ISP to clarify your broadband settings, user logon, and that their service is up and running.
Hope this helps, www.PuterCare.com

If you cannot access any website on your laptop check if you have interent connection first. Check if your laptop is set to connect using a proxy server check the Local area connection. If your using wireless check if you wireless setting is correct. Run ping test to determine your internet connection For windows click START > RUN > type ping yahoo.com if the message is reply from then your connected check you laptop security settings. If unable to connect or request timed out contact your internet provider

Often this is a simple power management issue. On the laptop check the wireless properties and disable allow Windows to turn off this device to save power.

"Page cannot be displayed" means "no internet connection".

Go to Start > All programs (XP) and look for Linksys. There should be a "manager" or some type of program. Run it, And look for a tool that will change from "AP mode" to "station mode". Once it makes the change, the networks should pop up. Select yours.

Hi,

In the right bottom corner of the screen you can see the Wireless icon, right click on it and select Connect to a Network.

Then a box will be opened where you can see the available routers. Select your router click on connect.

If it still shows that it is connected but Internet explorer won't display page, then once try to ping Websites.

Click on Start--Run

type ping www.google.com -t and press Enter.

You should get reply from the Website. if you won't get reply, then there is no Internet connection at all. In that case, you can try the below steps:

1. Press the Start button, then select Run..
2. type cmd in the dialog box, and press OK.
3. In the command line interface that appears, type ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter.
4. Then, type ipconfig /release and press Enter.
5. Now type ipconfig /renew
6. Exit the command prompt.

That should resolve the issue.


If you get reply from the Website and Internet won't display page, then download and install the winsock.exe file from the following Web site:
http://www.pchell.com/downloads/WinsockXPFix.exe

This bring the connectivity to Browser.

Try that and get back to us if the issue persists.
