Thread: How to repair - Limited or No connectivity

Are you experiencing an error message " Limited or No connectivity "

Once you see this message, there are 2 possibilities

1. You can connect to Internet

2. You cannot connect to Internet

Both ways go for the following steps to solve the problem.

Start > Control Panel, look for " Network Connections " and Double click it.



You will be able to see Local Area Connection (It is possible that there is more than one icon, in that case choose the one with " Limited or no connectivity ")

Right click & Take properties



Select Internet Protocol [TCP/ IP] & click " Properties "



Choose " Use the the following IP address " and " Use the following DNS server addresses " and insert the values as shown in the figure. Click OK.



Click OK in the Local Area Connection Properties



Now you will find the error message has vanished. If not please restart you system and modem to find the connection to be ok.

Have a nice day.

Hi, does this help for any broadband service? I am using Hathway...and I experience the issue of limited connctivity many times.

The procedure is the same. As for values, i think subnet mask is different.

Start> run> ipconfig/all will give you the values (when the connection is ok).

If you still face the problem, please inform. We will be able to sort it out.

The above instruction is for a single machine not multiple machines sharing the same connection. If that is your case, you should configure a static IP. Each machine will have a different static IP. One machine can have 192.168.1.25 and other can 192.168.1.30 . Please refer to the threads that describe how to share the connection between two or more machines.

Here is one

Nice thread. Rep awarded.

i was breaking my head with BSNL employees to get this problem resolved. A very useful thread.

Thanks Dilip.

was just wondering that even with that limited or no connectivity error i was able to connect and use internet ... so does it matter whether u get this error or not!?!?

Uncheck the option seen at the bottom.

Limited or no connectivity denotes an or more than one improper setting in the system. If ignored, it can later cause some other error. It is wise that we rectify it if possible.

should i insert those values that u showed on images above

If you are facing the problem, it will be better to do it.

Strange, Normally you should be able to see. There is no need for screen shots, simply follow the instructions. I have explained all steps.

thanks! It works
