Hello. I have a unique problem. I have a Windows Vista home premium system that can ping to my gateway and other systems on the local network but can not ping beyond my gateway and can not browse the internet. I have other systems on network that see Internet and browse with not problem. When I do an IPCONFIG, I see no DNS listed but do see my gateway IP and IP address and submask. I have two internet connections (one wired and one wireless) and both are doing the same thing. I ran a WINSOCK Fix from Microsoft but no success. I also disabled IPV6 but no luck either. Any ideas?

If you can PING your gateway, then there was no need for the 'WINSOCK FIX'.

Access the web-server "inside" the router, and look at the table of DHCP clients -- confirm that your computer's "wired" and "wireless" connections are listed, and that they have been assigned IP-addresses.

The router should have its own 'PING' interface, so try PING-ing to 'ns.watson.ibm.com' -- you should get output like:

Pinging ns.watson.ibm.com [129.34.20.80] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 129.34.20.80: bytes=32 time=126ms TTL=241
Reply from 129.34.20.80: bytes=32 time=103ms TTL=241
Reply from 129.34.20.80: bytes=32 time=91ms TTL=241
Reply from 129.34.20.80: bytes=32 time=93ms TTL=241

if your router has an Internet connection.

    Yikes! FIXYA truncated my reply, losing 90% of it.

    If there is any 'firewall' software running on the computer with both the 'wired' and 'wireless' connections, disable it, or uninstall it. It could be blocking the DHCP-requests from your computer to the DHCP-server 'inside' your router. Restart the computer, to see if DHCP-requests issued 'during' the start-up of Windows are allowed.

I could not upgrade neither windows XP, Windows 7 of this Product Model: GT5662. Would you assits? Thanks.

Hello kelvinvu, according to the information that I gathered from this computer model, it has Windows Vista 32 bit home premium installed on it. Windows XP is an older operating system so you can't "upgrade" to it. You could however install a fresh copy (more likely completely erasing all your previous information on vista and data files) or you could upgrade to Windows 7. Since you are using "Windows Vista 32 bit home premium", you have to upgrade to "Windows 7 32 bit home premium" or better. So if you were trying to "upgrade" to Windows 7 Home Basic, it will not allow that since it considers that a downgrade in the Operating System. You should actually be able to pop in the Windows 7 Home Premium CD while vista is running and start the upgrade process pretty painlessly that way. Just access the CD and walk through the menus for upgrading Vista to Windows 7. As a reminder, you must use the 32 bit discs. If you try and use the 64 bit discs (a different operating system as far as windows is concerned) you will have to go through the same process of installing a new version of windows (not upgrade). I hope this has solved your specific problem kelvinvu, have a great day!

Can't ping Default Gateway (XP) From Windows 7

Make sure you are receiving a proper IP address from the DHCP server....If you run a cmd prompt (windows icon, type cmd and hit eneter, then ipconfig) you should see a 192.168.0.x address. If not, go to the control panel, network connections, manage network connections, and be sure that TCP/IP (V4) is set as auto-configure....


If you are sharing the connection through an XP computer, you will need to run the Internet and connection sharing Wizard on the XP computer, and transfger the settings on a disk to the Windows 7 PC. A simpler solution (assuming you are on a cable/dsl connection would to be to go to your local big box store and buy an Internet/Firewall router. It would also increase your security.

I purchased a Blu-Ray BP-3600 and I am having a gateway ping problem

Most newer Blu-Ray players have an ethernet connection in order to receive software updates. I assume you have a router or switch in order to connect other devices to your home network, besides your PC. If not, you need to buy/rent/borrow/steal one.
The default action when the unit is turned on is to check for software updates, and although you don't specify where you see this message displayed, my suggestion to you is that you need to ensure that the device is connected to your home network, and that your router's DHCP server settings are turned to ENABLED, ie: your router will assign a new IP address to any new device that it's connected to it.
Good luck!

Perhaps your gateway has changed? Look in your network connections, or perhaps a proxy has been entered into the browser?
