Network problems by Rob Scrivener on 08-04-2007 at 01:20 AM
Seems my computer refuses to connect to the network despite it having a working network card and the network cables being in full working order
Tried re-formatting hard drive then reinstalling everything and going through network setup again
Any ideas what to do?

how is your computer connected?
mine is
Computer > Router > Modem > Internet

Mine is the same setup, worked before but decided to stop working

Any errors on the PC like "network cable unplugged"? type 'ipconfig /all' into command prompt and make sure you have an IP etc.
Paste results into here if need be.

It has the icon at the bottom and says it's connected at 10m/bits per second, but I know that 10 m/bits per second means it isn't connected at all

is it assigning you an ip address?

If it is possible unplug the cable from your PC and the Router and swap the ends.
So the end that was in the Router now goes to your PC and vice versa.

Well whenever i've seen it say that, the network hasn't been working
RE: Network problems by kao on 08-06-2007 at 05:50 AM
Are you being assigned a damn IP address?
RE: RE: Network problems by Rob Scrivener on 08-06-2007 at 07:24 PM
I set it manually because it's even worse if I tell it to assign me one

Almost sounds like your router may be on the frits. Your routers DHCP should be handling internal IP's. Setting the computers with a Static could cause problems. What kind of router do you have?

It's made by Netgear
But my bro is on the network with internet and his works fine

RE: Network problems by Rob Scrivener on 08-12-2007 at 08:58 PM
Running on Windows XP with Service Pack 2
Not sure about DNS settings

It uses an automatically set IP address on this computer
