and when you say nick, you mean using the ethernet cables right?
edit:
which brings me to my next problem, how do i swap them over, i know you have to do something which involves uninstalling the USB drivers, but i would like it examed a bit so i don't mess up, thanks |
The USB drivers loaded from the NTL disk should be no problem. I have never botherd or should I say thought of removing them..
The spec of ur PC looks fine so that should not be a problem. The ref to a NIC stands for Network Interface Card (Network Card) they cost only about £10.00 and I think they are all now 10/100. They are easy to install just remember to pull your power cord out before playing arround inside your case. Also Power down your modem and Place the card in one of your PCI slots and fix it with a screw, if you don't have any ask the shop for a couple Connect the ethernet cable to your modem and PC. power your PC and modem up and XP will report found new device, XP will load its own driver for the NIC. You now should be up and running.
IF NOT:
click on start then run. In the box type command.com and press enter. In the black box (DOS screen) type
ipconfig /all you will see all the adaptors on your pooter. Look for the Ethernet adaptor on the list. You should see under the entry †œ ip address †œ a number. This is your ip address. If the number is all 0â₠¬ÃƒÆ’¢â€žÂ¢s or has an address starting 169 you will need to type
Ipconfig /release wait 10 seconds and then type
ipconfig /renewYou will see a message confirming that a new address has been obtained. close the DOS window and you should be up and running. Post a message to this board and let us know how you got on and did it sort ur problem.
IF NOT:
Call the nice guys at NTL tech surpport as you will have done everything you can to confirm its not your PC.
