I have 4 computers connected to the Internet through a D-Link router.
All of them were connected to the Internet OK. One of them (WinXP)
though, had a small problem for a while now: after exiting standby
mode, ZoneAlarm was blocking the Internet access. I had to restart the
computer every time after standby and everything was going back to
normal. Annoyed by the problem, I disabled the standby mode and the
connection was OK. Till yesterday morning...
Since yesterday morning, the computer refused to see the Internet. It
sees the other computers in the network, I can get a correct IP address
from the router (ipconfig /release - ipconfig /renew) but I cannot ping
the router. It times-out every time I try. I uninstalled ZoneAlarm to
make sure it is not the culprit. No luck!
Any suggestions how to get that computer back to normal and see the
router/Internet?
