Re: Connection problems
Yeah, sometimes when I try to repair the connection it is unable to renew the ip. |

I have the drivers enabled and I am apparently connected at 10mps but I still cannot get on the internet
This statement seems wrong. You should be connected to your modem at 100mbps not 10. You should check the advanced properties of your NIC and make sure the speed is set to automatic. If it is, then you need to cycle through each setting, full duplex half duplex, etc. until you get a valid ip address. |

| Have you called Tech?
What OS are you running?
Have you tried to manually configure the NIC?
Have you considered getting a router?
Have you updated your bios?motherboard drivers?
Do you have a NIC card laying around you could test out?
The cat 5 cable that you are using, are you sure it's good?
These are just things that I would check into. I've seen the issue you are having on pc's running xp pro. but it could also be bad drivers, bad cat 5 connection, basically a lot of things. |

I havent called tech yet.
XP home
Yes, but to no avail.
I've taken my pc to a friends house who has a router (has insightbb as well), I still had the same issues, i could connect to the router, but not the server.
All drivers are the same as when they came on the pc, i am unable to update further due to the lack of internet connection.
No, plus my PC is a small form factor and It's extremely hard to get to the NIC at the moment, and I dont want to risk messing my pc up further.
I'm pretty sure its good, considering that it works on my old pc. |

| The LAN speed on the PC has no bearing on the connection. Modems only transmit at around 4-6Mbps, so having anything more is useless. Besides, I think some modems have a 10BaseT connection only anyway.
So you can get an IP address from the router? But not when directly connected to the modem?
What were you getting in each case? (169.x.x.x or 192.x.x.x or something else?) |
