Re: DSL internet connection failed

Hi a5j6brad ,

Greetings from Dell.

Kindly check the below mentioned options and revert if issue persists.

Make sure your settings in network connections are correct. 

Go to Control Panel, then Network/Network and Internet Connections.  Right click on your Local Area Connection and go to Properties.  Click on TCP/IP for your NIC and then click Properties.  Make sure that your IP Address and DNS Servers are set to be Obtained Automatically.

Try running the Internet Connection Wizard

1.      Go to your Control Panel

2.      Open Internet Options

3.      Go to the Connections Tab

4.      At the top of that page click Setup

5.      Make sure you check Connect using a Local Area Connection/Network

Ping

     Use this step when you have been through the steps above and the Internet is still not working     

A.     Go to Start, Run, in the Open box type Command (try cmd if that doesn’t work) and click OK

B.     When your Command Prompt comes up type in - ipconfig - if you receive an IP address of 10.0.0.x (depending on you Network configuration this address may start with 192.168.x.x or something else) then follow the steps listed in the chart.  If your IP Address comes up as 169.x.x.x the go to step 22.
