Comment on Why wont my Sony Vaio Lap Top connect to the internet? by KungFoolio

It may be conencted to the home hub, but is the home hub connected to your internet service provider? (Are other computers on the home hub,, and working properly?) If not, unplug the home hub power supply, plug it back in, let it reconnect, then restart the computer.

I know this sounds kinda dumb, but one thing you can do is push the button. Most DSL modems have a button on the top that disables the connection. It's every bit as effective as unplugging the cable, which would also work. But if the modem were handy you probably would just unplug the cable, so that may not be the best answer. If you really need to do it from the computer, then it depends on what operating system you have. In a Windows system you can set up an alternate configuration under the Advanced Options of the Properties of your network connection. put in a bogus IP address (like 10.10.10.10) and a bogus default gateway (10.10.10.1) with the matching subnet mask (255.0.0.0), and tell it to use that configuration with the little check box. That will effectively disable your connection.

Here is what i did. I bought a pci slot network adapter card that way when i turn off my computer the slot powers down and im not connected and when i turn on the computer it connects automatically without me doing a thing. I didnt like the idea of going thru the motherboard and having it always connected either and this is what i did so i wouldnt be.

Possibly Spyware or a Virus.

Does it connect from any other location? School, work, Friends place?

If not, definitely check it for spyware / malware. You may need to use another computer just to get some software to use on this one. The product you want to use is called Malwarebytes.

Just Google that and you will get it. Download it. Copy it to a USB stick and install it on your Sony. Do a full scan – remove anything it finds. It is relaible software, I use it regularly.

On the other hand, If it DOES connect elsewhere, your Firewall may be blocking internet access at your home. You may need to check your Firewall software in your Sony, to see if you had at some stage dis-allowed access whilst at your home.

If you can find your Firewall software, try turning it off, just for a minute, to see if that allows you access to the internet. If it does, then you know that the Firewall needs adjusting.

No. You'd need to buy a wireless adapter especially made for the XBOX

Hey dude I connect to the Internet the same way except I got a different ISP. What you have to do is
Go to
1. System > Networking
You will see a list of Networking devices like
Wireless Connection, Ethernet Connection, Modem Connection.
2. Double click on Wireless Connection.
3. Click Enable this connection.
4. Select the Network by the putting in the Network Name.
If you got WEP enabled (The password to access your network) Enter it. Also make sure you select what type of key it is.. Usually it is in ASCII
Select DHCP if your router is set to randomly allocating Computers with IP addresses
click OK
Now back again in the Windoe showing the different Devices. make sure the Wireless Device Is Activated
NOw at the bottom of the window select the default gateway device is eth1 or eth0 depending on which one the wireless device is assigned to..
