It is possible to meet the situation with the loss of connection when the Internet connection is interrupted. Disabling is most often not the fault of the user. What to do if it says "Internet connection error" (meaning the warning contained in the system message), we will now see. Moreover, we will try to analyze the main causes of such situations and pay attention to possible methods for their elimination.
Internet connection error: what to do?
So, if we consider the main reasons for disconnecting the Internet, most often among them the priority is the penetration of viruses, executable applets called Malware and Adware onto the computer, as well as the incorrect configuration of the connection itself.
Now we will proceed from the fact that everything is in order with the payment for the provider’s services, and the network equipment works without failures. Although, in general, in some cases, when a message about the lack of connection is constantly displayed, it may be necessary to reinstall the network device drivers or set the correct router parameters, for example, a router with network connections.
System Restore
If the failure occurred for no reason, everything used to work like a clock, and now the message Internet connection error has appeared on the screen, what to do, it will be clear if you pay attention to the time of occurrence of such a situation.
Indeed, you never know what settings “flew”. The easiest way to fix the problem is to simply roll back the system to a checkpoint, but it may be earlier in the time interval than the time the crash occurred.
Scan for viruses and malicious codes
Now let's see what to do if the first method did not give anything, and the system again displays an Internet connection error warning. What to do? It is mandatory to check the system for viruses using some portable version of the program (after all, the installed antivirus could already miss the threat).
As a package, you can take KVRT, which has proven itself in the best degree in the field of portable applications. In addition, conflicts with a standard antivirus are completely eliminated.
But such utilities may not detect potentially unwanted software that replaces the original HOSTS file or adds its own entries into it. In this case, you will need to use utilities like Adware Cleaner or something similar.
Check connection settings
If there are no potential or existing threats, you can check the settings of the connection itself. Suppose the system again displays a warning like Internet connection error. What to do now?
You need to go into the connection properties and check the TCP / IP protocol settings. It is advisable (which is used in most cases) to use the automatic obtaining of IP addresses and a DNS server. Sometimes it is worth paying attention to the use of proxies. If the provider does not support the provision of such services, the proxy server must be disabled (uncheck the corresponding box). In extreme cases, you need to enter the correct values for all the fields involved (they are provided by the provider when connecting the user computer to the Internet or the system administrator in the case of network terminals).
Using special recovery utilities
In addition to the foregoing, if the user does not want or cannot solve the problem on their own, special programs for restoring the Internet connection and everything connected with it can help.
One of the simplest and most interesting automated utilities is Complete Internet Repair. By and large, the user only needs to start the process of scanning for problems, and then activate their correction. In both processes, user participation is minimized.
Conclusion
Naturally, this is not all the reasons that can affect the disconnection of the Internet. Let’s put it this way: the most frequently occurring standard and emergency situations were considered here . But, as you can already see, ways to fix the problem in most cases are quite simple and can be performed by a user of any level of training.
