Connection Problem

[raidermattk]

I have two computers hooked up in my home office through a router. A couple of days ago one computer quit hooking to the internet. I didn't change anything. I hooked my laptop up to the same connection, just unplugged the cable from the computer and hooke it to the laptop and it worked fine. My computer shows the connection as being active, but when I open either internet explorer of firefox it syas this page cannot be displayed. Any thoughts?

i had a similar problem at a friends house

never could get it fixed, does it give you an error message? an error number?

you can try unplugging the router and modem to reset them and see if it works

do you use cable or dsl?

I use cable, I am probably going to reload windows see if that does anything. I don't get any error messages.

Look at the network card that it is plugged into and make sure you see 2 lights (there should be atleast one solid light and another light that might be flashing)

Right click Network Places
Click Properties
then right click on the network card that you are using to connect to the Internet and click "Repair", that might fix it up.

If not, try this:
Click Start
Click Run
type CMD and hit enter
at the prompt type in
netsh int ip reset c:\ip.txt

then try the Internet again.

Tried all that still no luck, also reloaded windows still don't work. I have the two lights. I will probably just have to take it in somewhere.

check the bridge on the computer that is not working, may have to be reenabled

 

[raidermattk]

whats the bridge?

go to network connections and check to see if your broadband or lan/high speed( depending on what you use) are enabled

Check your IP adress. Start, Run, cmd, ipconfig /all
on both working and non-working machines.
If it starts with 192.168...then download and run this:

If IP address starts with 169. or is 0.0.0.0 then try going to LAN Properties, TCP/IP Properties, and enter the number the same as you have on working machine but enter different last number of the IP address. For example, working machine IP address is 192.168.0.2. Enter you IP address as 192.168.0.9.

How can I down load with no connection? Could I download it to my other computer and save to a disk and run?
