I've got a wireless router that has one computer physically connected via an ethernet cable, and two outlying computers with wireless receivers. I was using my computer like normal earlier and went to do something, and when I came back, the internet connection was down. Turns out the wireless connections are still fully functional. It's just the wired computer that is having a problem.
Here's what I've tried, to no avail:
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset catalog
I've also unplugged the ethernet cable and moved it to another port. No dice. I unplugged the router and modem and shut off the computer for a while, but that didn't help either. Even tried a system restore or two.
I can, by the way, access files on the remote computers on the affected computer.
All of that is about all I know how to do with my limited knowledge. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm at my wit's end here.
One last little oddball thing: I "lost" my bookmarks and other settings in Firefox. They are still there, but they aren't active. This may not be directly related, because I'm afraid in my frustration I pulled the plug on the computer without shutting down. Yeah, smart. That is probably all it is, but I don't know.
