    OK I recently did a clean install of windows, I was running a 32bit windows 7 and have now had a clean install and am running 64bit windows 7.

    Im using a micronet wireless LAN PCI card to connect to the internet. I have reinstalled the drivers and all of the other main drivers via a combination my CD that came with computer and updated drivers from internet via usb stick.

    My system tray shows connected and says "internet Access" but I cannot view any websites and when i try connect I usually get the yellow exclamation mark.

    When I diagnose the problem I get 2 errors. First says the connection between your router, modem... is broken. Second says the default gateway is not available. The second message has a green tick and says fixed, the first does not.

    In the systen tray there is a realtek icon and when i hover mouse over it there is "No RTL818x" displayed (No idea what this is)

    Im confident there is nothing wrong with the router, as Im connected to the internet with my laptop (using this now), any ideas as Im now completely lost.

    forgot to mention I cannot connect via Ethernet either (have installed ethernet drovers form my ASUS CD) When I plug in ethernet there is no orange light at back of PC or on the router.

    After hitting enter, a blank notepad opens up. A popup also opens saying cannot find the C:ipconfig_all.txt file. It asks me if i want to create a new file. The noepad remains blank.

    Make sure, that you're copy/paste (instead of typing it manually) the below command:
    ipconfig /all>c:\ipconfig_all.txt&notepad c:\ipconfig_all.txt&exit
    so there is no misspelling, or missed spaces.
    Your screenshot is very small and I really can't read it.

    Try some basic troubleshooting....

    Make sure, your computer is set to obtain IP address automatically.
    1. Go Start>Settings>Control Panel (Vista/7 users: Start>Control Panel)
    2. Double click Network Connections (Vista/7 users: Network and Sharing Center)
    3. Vista/7 users - From the list of tasks on the left, click Manage network connections.
    4. For a wired network connection, right-click Local Area Connection, and then select Properties.
    For a wireless network connection, right-click Wireless Network Connection, and then select Properties.
    5. From the General tab (Vista/7 users: Networking tab), click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), make sure it is checked, and then click Properties
    6. Click Obtain an IP Address Automatically, and then click OK.

    If that doesn't work...
    Turn off computer. Disconnect router, and modem from power source for 1 minute. At the same time disconnect ethernet cable as well.
    Reconnect everything.
    Restart computer.

    If that doesn't work, bypass router, and connect computer straight to the modem.

    If that doesn't work...
    Go Start>Run (Start search in Vista), type in:
    cmd
    Click OK (in Vista, while holding CTRL, and SHIFT, press Enter).

    In Command Prompt window, type in following commands, and hit Enter after each one:
    ipconfig /flushdns
    ipconfig /registerdns
    ipconfig /release
    ipconfig /renew
    net stop "dns client"
    net start "dns client"


    Restart computer.

    If that doesn't work...
    Go Start>Run (Start search in Vista), type in:
    cmd
    Click OK (in Vista, while holding CTRL, and SHIFT, press Enter).

    At Command Prompt, type in:
    netsh int ip reset reset.log
    Hit Enter.
    Type in:
    netsh winsock reset catalog
    Hit Enter.

    Restart computer.


    If that doesn't work...
    Download, install, and run WinSockFix: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Network-Tweak/WinSockFix.shtml (doesn't work in Vista)
    Restart computer, and check again.

    If that doesn't work...
    Download Dial-A-Fix (DAF) (doesn't work in Vista):
    http://wiki.lunarsoft.net/wiki/Dial-a-fix#Mirrors.2Fdownload_locations.2C_and_articles

    Have XP CD available in case DAF needs a file. Likely not!

    Check all boxes on the screen (clear any restrictions if it shows any)
    Then click GO!

    When the entire page is finished click the HammerHead at bottom to go to the second DAF page.

    Here, one at a time, do the below:

    Reinstall BITS
    Reinstall Windows Firewall
    Repair Permissions
    Reset networking

    Watch for any File not found or other errors and make note as this may lead to the fix!

    Restart computer.
