Check internet connection
The name Err Internet Disconnected says that the computer is disconnected from the Internet and it could be 1 of many things like recurring internet outages. First of all, you need to check the status of the network connection of your computer and router.
- We check the connection icon, and if it has disappeared, we recall that this is how the active connection looks and so disconnected
- Check the wires themselves, their integrity, pull out and insert them back into the socket.
- If there are other computers, tablets, see if there is a connection to them.
- If we have a router (router), we examine whether everything is in order with it and whether those bulbs that were burning before are on (the problem may be on the provider’s side)
- Turn off the power to the router, wait 5 minutes and turn it back on. If there is no power button, you can unplug the power cord from it or pull it out.
After switching on, wait another 3-4 minutes to initialize the equipment and then check the connection.
If nothing helped, then go ahead.
ISP problems
The reason for the lack of communication may be the provider, as an example of technical equipment failure, cable break, etc. or may not have paid on the internet?
What can be done?
- Call the provider and check if everything is in order.
- Explain your situation by saying that you are okay, in some cases the provider “reboots” the equipment on its side and problems disappear
- Contact friends who also use the services of this provider, specifying their problems
- Go to your router settings and see if you are connected to the provider
Turn off the firewall (firewall)
Although it is not recommended to disable the firewall, as it is necessary to ensure the security of your system, we must do this to rule out this option. In some cases, it can still block connections or protocols, which leads to the impossibility of opening sites and the Err internet disconnected error.
- Go to the control panel
- Find the item Firewall Windows
- Select the item Enable or disable Windows Firewall
- And in all points, select Disable Windows Firewall.
Close all windows and check Internet availability.
Checking Antivirus
In modern antiviruses, in addition to proactive protection against viruses, there are often modules for analyzing network activity and standalone firewalls. To exclude this option, disable the anti-virus protection for a few minutes.
Usually, antiviruses provide the ability to disable protection temporarily. To do this, find its icon in the taskbar that is next to the clock and right-clicks on it. Find the Exit or Suspend Protection item.
In some cases, you will have to remove the antivirus program and then reinstall it.
LAN settings

You need to go to the properties of the browser, and you can go through the control panel, we will show a universal way:

- inetcpl.cpl
