That sure is helpful Maybe those 2 Win 8.1 computers are too far away from the wireless router... maybe the wall blocked the wireless signals. Ping the IP address of the `wireless router first (e.g. 192.168.1.1), then 8.8.8.8 for internet. -- @~@ Remain silent! Drink, Blink, Stretch!

Help ! // \\ \\ // Cable ----------- DOCSIS ------// \\_ Win7 (triple play) Modem/Router \\ // \\__Win8.1 So one machine has working DNS and the other one doesn't. Command Prompt for each nslookup www.sun.com # queries DNS ping 156.151.59.35 # proves network connection ping www.sun.com # fails with no DNS On the broken machine, this will open a web page. The Oracle/Sun web page should appear. This proves the plumbing works. http://156.151.59.35 If this in turn does not work, then the DNS isn't set up. The default Windows setting is to get the DNS server address from the router via DHCP, but this can be adjusted/disturbed in a networking panel. http://www.sun.com HTH, Paul |
