Cant use internet on network [SOLVED] by Reaper on 12-30-2005 at 10:31 PM
I just installed my new motherboard for my pc, so i have a new lan controller. but for some reason i cant access the internet or files on the host computer on the network. ive followed the network trouble shooter, but still no luck. any ideas?
would i have to remove the existing connection and make a new one on both computers because my lan controller changed?
it was fine before, only stopped working after the new motherboard

Have you installed all motherboard drivers?
RE: Cant use internet on network by Reaper on 12-30-2005 at 10:46 PM
yup, i used the cd that came with the motherbaord, it installed the chipset, audio, lan etc.

Try right clicking the lan icon and clicking repair.

Start > Control Panel > Network Connections > right click on "Local Area Connection 1" and select "properties" > select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) then click Properties > select "Obtain an IP address automatically". > Okay and Okay to close it.

that was already done
on the host it says its connected, but on the client, its limited or no connectivity
also i cannot ping ANY 192.168 address, but i can ping the actual ip of the host from the client
i also cannot use ipconfig /renew becuase it cannot contact the DHCP, although it is enabled

Try the Network connection wizard, reconfigure your network, so your server can provide the IP via DHCP.
Buy a router?

ok, ill try re-doing the connection. is there anyway to remove the exisiting connections, becuase it says i cant delete them
RE: Cant use internet on network by YottabyteWizard on 12-31-2005 at 06:16 PM
Disable the connection first, then delete it.

and i tried making a new connection but still no luck. i dont know why it should stop working if i changed my lan controller
[Edit] i managed to actually connect to the network, but i cannot use the internet still.
i ran this command in the command prompt and it connected to the network:
netsh int ip reset test.log
after using that i connected but my ip address didnt change, and it says the ip address been assigned by DHCP, but i dont think it has
i can now ping 192.168.0 addresses, but i cannot ping sites e.g. google
RE: Cant use internet on network by brian on 01-01-2006 at 05:00 PM
can you post ipconfig.. now?
RE: Cant use internet on network by Reaper on 01-01-2006 at 05:01 PM
i fixed it now, kinda simple though.
before i tried re-doing a network connection and it didnt work. i did it again and i bridged all connections on the host, its works perfectly
thanks anyways

Your problem is SO easy to fix, i dont understand why no-one has mentioned anything about it already.
The computer with the new motherboard has created a new connection to the internet. This connection is auto-default set to "Obtain IP Address Automatically" and since you are not using a router or other DHCP Server (one that assigns IP addresses when requested) your computer is using the autoconfig IP address (the 169.* one).
To fix this, go to the "host" computer, and find the IP address it is using (cmd; ipconfig /all etc) then set your computer's IP address to this number + 1. For example, if the host's is 192.168.1.10 set your computer to 192.168.1.11. The subnet mask should be the same as the host computer and the default gateway and DNS should be the host computers IP address.
Hope that cleared things up
