come on guys! where are these networking guru's?

Re: changing from usb to ethernet!
 

The ip address is an internal ip not an external one thats why your not getting the net.
In control panel /network connections/ lan connection./properties
highlight tcp/ip and click properties make sure both settings are set to automatically close that then on general tab click support and then repair

you could also try disabling your firewall first

Im not a guru theres loads know more about networking than me here

Re: changing from usb to ethernet!
 

done all that.... i realised that the LAN card that i used to connect through was the same one that i used for networking the 2 comps, and I MYSELF had put use 192.168.0.1, to make the network work.... << which i forgot about until u reminded me!

so i changed it to automatic, and restarted comp with ETHERNET wires.... and the comp freezes at startup screen [user login screen]. so i shut down, removed the power to the modem, then logged back in, and then powered up the modem again!...... this time i got an ip, but there was no values for SUBNET MASK AND DEFAULT GATEWAY! so internet never worked :(

can some1/zinglebarb plz help!

thx!

Are you connect via cable modem or a digital stb?

Re: changing from usb to ethernet!
 

DIRECT CABLE MODEM TO MY USB! but.. i want to connect via Ethernet!

NO ROUTER INVOLVED!

Re: changing from usb to ethernet!
 

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the enet card this sometimes clears older setting give it a go(dont do this if you dont have drivers)

Re: changing from usb to ethernet!
 

Right. A few simple steps.

Make sure usb lead nt plugged in.
Turn off computer.
Turn off Modem (remove power cable)
Double check ethernet cable plugged in.
Turn on cable modem. Allow it to power up and the lights to sync.
Turn on computer.

If the compuiter does not pick-up the net then go to my network places - view network connection.
There should be a network connection showing as connected.

Right click on it and select properties.
Click on tcp-ip and select properties.
Make sure optain ip and dns auto are selected.

Ok out of all menus and should be working ;)

isnt that what I said?

In a way it is Zing, However it's the complete process start to finish :)

Makes sure that all the bases are covered and would be the 1st thing I'd go through with anyone.


Whenever I try diagnose a problem I always take them back to the start and walk people through it , that way I know they have gone through it the same way I would and I can expect what problems would arise by it. Half of the problems people have is when they divert off the correct path and try stuff themselves.
