It never rains but it pours.
Last night I was trying to network my laptop to my desktop computer, both running windows 10. Not knowing much about anything, I plugged the only ethernet looking cable I had in the house between them, tried following a few online instructions, gave up and did the user-friendly "Homegroup" option.
No dice, the computers couldnt read each other. My guess is that I was using the wrong type of cable.
Now, the problem is that my laptop, which has a wireless card, is not connecting to the internet, or more specifically, it's only connecting to certain pages. Google pages work and for some baffling reason, http://ewertb.soundlinker.com/is working - but almost any other site will not load in Chrome. I get ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE.
so back to the internet to find solutions: I've done
netsh [/size]winsock reset
and [/size]
netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt
Still XXXXX not working I think there's a chance the system might have gotten infected with malware, there was a trojan flagged the last time I ran a scan. Oh yeah, and the other wireless connected computers in the house work fine.
Anyways this is my problem of the day. Thanks for taking the time to read my post - any help would be appreciated.
