Able to ping but cannot browse in Windows


If the PC, Laptop or Server has ever worked before then it will be easier to troubleshoot.

Since it has worked before, what are the changes done to the machine?

If there are quite a few changes done to the machine, undo or remove all the changes done.

After removing or undoing all the changes, check whether web page will load or not.

If still not working, try "resetting" the browser settings.

For IE or Internet Explorer, go to "Tools", click "Internet options", click "Advanced" tab and click on "Reset" button.

Close the browser and open again, check whether the page will load or not.

If still not loading, open an elevated command prompt and do the following one by one:

To open an elevated command prompt you need administrator credentials, check out the link below on how to open an elevated command prompt.

http://quickbytesstuff.blogspot.sg/2014/10/open-elevated-command-prompt.html

   ipconfig /flushdns



   ipconfig /release



   netsh winsock reset



   shutdown -r -f -t 10 (note this will reboot the machine)

After rebooting, login to the machine and check whether the problem is solved and able to browse the web normally.

If still not working scan for any viruses or malware.

Or ask a friend who knows about IT stuff; don't download any software if you're not familiar with IT.

Downloading illicit software to fix the issue might introduce more problems.

The world wide web, www or in a layman term will not be as popular as today if not  of  DNS or the Domain Name System.

If the network or the computers are having issues accessing websites, it would be wise to check DNS services or settings. 

After doing the steps above and still not working then it's time to continue searching answers on the web but try the simplest one first.

WMIC get computer name

WMIC get computer model, manufacturer, computer name and  username. WMIC is a command-line tool and that can generate information about computer model, its manufacturer, its username and other informations depending on the parameters provided. Why would you need a command line tool if there’s a GUI to check? If you have 20 or 100 computers, or even more. It’s quite a big task just checking the GUI to check the computer model and username. If you have remote computers, you need to delegate someone in the remote office or location to check. Or you can just write a batch file or script to automate the task.

Print error 016-799 - Fuji Film Xerox

016-799 Fuji Xerox or Fuji Film print error code. That shows a description error as “Print instruction Fail detected in decomposer.” The error code and error description are alien languages for users and even system administrators who are not familiar with Fuji Xerox error code. The error code is quite simple and easy to fix, if the job print goes to the printer but print out doesn’t come out. So, basically the print job was received by the printer, but the printer just doesn’t know what type of paper or what size to use or which tray to utilize for the print out. In some instances, this is just a paper mismatch but the error description; if using Windows 10 to print does not exactly points to what is the issue. First thing to check, is the paper size selected by the user to print. Example, if the printer configuration is A3 and A4 sizes only.
