Hi Friends,

I have a weird problem with my system. Whenever I Type IPConfig in Command Prompt. I got error of Media Disconnected. If I tried to ping to any site it gives me error that requested host is not found.

But the most weired thing is I am connected to the internet and I can easily access any site that is not under restriction of firewall.

Now You guys must be thinking then what's the issue. Basically I have come to this point because I cannot connect to the mail server in my outlook find the issue of server not found put me through this and I have come to the conclusion that in cmd mode I am not able to ping the any of the site. and on going to the ipconfig I find media disconnected issue.

I have tried to search for the same on internet but I come to conclusion that this issue happens in 80% CASES for the Wireless network user.

My Network DOES NOT show Unplugged Status. It is connected and receiving and sending the data properly. I am working on the same network throughout the day as I am a web developer. It causes no issues to development, Uploading submissions, surfing etc.. Even I am able to access the Main Server of my Company. But The Issues lies with the command prompt only I am not able to ping any damn site.......


Some Notable Points:

--> I am connected to the internet through Proxy.
--> I am not in the Domain of the network.

Thanks For all you Support In Advance.

Thanks & regards
