I got a toshiba computer that will only connect to the internet at certain places but not my house via LAN. The place I can connect to has yahoo dsl. And I can connect via LAN and Wifi. But the other has charter communications cant connect via LAN, and has no access to WiFi. I recently took off Mcafee and other firewalls and no luck. I have tried even releasing my ip, refreshing ipv and refreshing dns cache. So any help is appreciated and thanks.

I would try setting a static IP, go to your control panel, network settings, properties, and there should be something about TCP/IPv4, and in that, set a manual address for your computer on the top bar, eg. 192.168.0.xx (the last number is the one that you can change) and sometimes the 0 will be a 1, depends on your configuration.



The second bar should automatically set to 255.255.255.0 or something,



and the third should be the same address you go to for your routers settings, eg 192.168.0.1



then set your primary dns to the same as the third bar, and leave the last bar blank



This could very well not work, completely depends on your setup, which i have no knowledge of, but its worth a try, and easy to set back if it doesn't!

I think what you're saying is the no matter how you connect, you can't get internet.



Quick Fix: Make sure your router cables are plugged-in, if they are, try going into the Network and Sharing Center while plugged in LAN.



Another thing to make sure your LAN connection is working, is to check the port-light that comes on when you plug it in.

I am probably wasting your time but try disabling the LAN connection and try to connect to the internet.
