my brothers computer will log into msn, but browsers and games and s*** won't work

can ping sites in a cmd prompt

connected to a linksys WRT54GL via wireless at the moment, also tried ethernet

help plz

What settings have you got set.......

.... f*** off

have you tried turning it off then back on again?

yes

Is he using XP?

Check to see if there are filters set up in the router that are stopping his IP address from sending/receiving packets.

yeah xp

i don't see how his it's his computer only

i'm connected through the same router with XP via wireless and my parents are connected via ethernet

Have you pulled the power from the router and modem, let simmer for 5 minutes then chuck the power back in?

format

start -> run -> cmd -> ipconfig

are the dns servers the same on both?

start -> run -> c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
open hosts file in notepad.

are there any funky entries?

if no to both, do an ipconfig /release and then ipconfig /renew on his pc and see if it starts to work.

.... f*** off

So you post because you're too f***ing retarded to figure out a problem yourself and then get up someone when they ask what you've done thus far with the settings.

well what settings are you talking about retard? router? computer?

it's just standard s***, it should f***ing work like the other 2 computers

pac file yo

can your brothers computer connect if one of the other computers is left off? I don't know about the stock firmware and how many TCP connections it has max but maybe you're somehow maxing out the connection table? His PC isn't the one whose MAC address you cloned in order to get the internet to work is it?

it's 3 computers, i don't think it's maxed out

no the parents computer was the cloned one

his computer comes up as connected to the router

Check the DNS settings, do a ipconfig /all. Make sure it is pointing to the correct gateway. Check the port settings in the router. Flush the dns, it's all worth a try.
