Internet does not work? Do not rush to panic!

Access to the resources of the global Internet has long been made public. Already, the cost of the service per month is no more than $ 12 (value for wireline providers with unlimited tariffs) with a downward trend. On the telecommunications market there are even tempting offers with a payment of only $ 6. Thus, it is enough just to order a service and connect the cable of the provider to the computer. Enumerate the opportunities that open up to the user, it is meaningless - they are known to all. Alas, the person has not yet created anything perfect, and therefore it is not surprising that on the forums people try to figure out why sometimes the Internet is connected, but does not work. Who faced this problem, knows how much it is unpleasant. And business, dependent on the work of the Network, can suffer.

Note that if the Internet does not work - this is not a reason for panic. The reasons for this can be very different: from the most complex, requiring a serious approach from the provider to their elimination, to the banal, which the user can solve ... simply by clicking the reset button. In the case when the Internet does not work, it is necessary to do everything in our power, and only then call the provider's support service, in the hearts (or in reality) by pounding the table and demanding a direct telephone line with the director. Wise Eastern nationalities argue that in any situation it is necessary to remain calm of the spirit ...

Sometimes access is blocked by a hovering application that occupies all free ports. Therefore, if the Internet does not work, it's worth starting with a simple - to restart the computer. This simple action is often incredibly effective. In the event that a modem (CDMA, ADSL) is used for access, then you also need to reboot it.

Sometimes the Internet does not work because of the antivirus program. Alas, the good intentions of developers, it happens, lead to the most unexpected results. For example, a well-known Dr.Web program blocks access to the Network in a particular combination of circumstances. So, if a connection is created before loading the main security modules, then this is regarded as a security hole, and then in the automatic mode, the transfer of any data is prohibited. It is necessary to disable the antivirus and check the functionality. In general, this is a fairly common reason.

Theoretically, the problem with access can also arise because of the "infection" of the computer with a virus. Therefore, you need to download the CureIt utility from Dr.Web or the Removal Tool from Kaspersky and use it to scan the system for viruses.

Sometimes the access disappears due to a violation of the electrical contact. Remove the mains plug from the socket, wait 5-10 seconds and then turn it on again (for wired connections). Well, wireless GPRS, EDGE, CDMA connections are too dependent on weather conditions, so the loss of connection when using them is a common occurrence.

But if the Internet does not work through the router, then the list of "suspects" increases. In addition to all of the above, you must reboot the device. This can be done with a hardware "reset" button or via the web interface. The next step is to configure TCP / IP settings (address and gateway) in the network card parameters.

Of course, do not forget that the provider can solve the problem. In this situation, one can only wait.
