Site Unreachable, tracert times out immediately.

956 Views 4 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  NaiveUser
So my computer can't connect to websites, says they're Unreachable. This is true for nearly every site I try. I did a tracert for en.wikipedia.org which gave me:
1 * * * Request timed out.
2 * * * Request timed out.
...
11 * * * Request timed out.
12 42 ms 42 ms 46 ms text-lb.eqiad.Wikimedia.org [208.80.154.224]

The Internet isn't down though, I am still capable of accessing a few Google sites. Google Search and YouTube are both working fine, and I can still watch YouTube videos, but every non-Google site is Unreachable.

Please help?

lets see an ipconfig and do a tcp/ip reset

------------------------------------------------------------------------
ipconfig /all


We would like to see the results from an ipconfig /all - Please post back the results in a reply here.

If you cannot access the internet with this PC
You will need to paste the results into something like notepad and then copy onto a machine that can access the internet and post the results in a reply here.
Save the file to a USB flash drive or other removable media. Plug it into the working computer with internet access and copy the file and paste here.
If you do not have another PC
Do you have a phone connected to the internet - can you photograph the result and post the image in a reply
Note: you will see entries named Tunnel adapter Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface: we dont need to see that information - JUST the information above those entries​

For Windows 8 or Windows 10
To open a Cmd Prompt or an Administrator Cmd prompt from the Desktop.
Use Windows + X Keys together and choose Command Prompt (Admin) from the list.
Or Right click on the windows icon - bottom left hand side - A menu appears - choose Command Prompt (Admin)

Hold the Windows key and press R
Now type CMD
Now press Enter to open a command prompt box (A new dialogue box - black with white font, will appear on screen ):​

In the command prompt window that opens, type the following command:

Note that there is a space before the /ALL, but there is NOT a space after the / in the following command.

ipconfig /all > network.txt & network.txt

It will export the results into notepad and then automatically open the notepad and display on your screen.

Now all you need to do is copy and paste those results into a reply here
to do that:
From the notepad menu - choose Edit - Select all
all the text will now be highlighted
Next
From the notepad menu - choose Edit - Copy
Now go back to the forum - goto the reply and then right click in the reply box and paste the results.
