Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - [SOLVED] Unable to setup Internet connection

On my daughter's desktop, due to a corrupted HD I used Darik's Boot & Nuke and wiped the hard drive and reformatted it. Windows XP Pro was reinstalled. But I now cannot make an Internet connection. Prior to the HD being corrupted the Internet connection was perfect.

My daughter (who lives with her brother and his family) has her computer set up downstairs, hard wired with a hi-speed connection. My son's computer upstairs is also hard wired and hi-speed. He is running Windows XP Home.

Both my son and I run our wireless notebooks in the house problem free.

Following is the data that I copied off his XP Home machine:

1. Connect using: Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast (Ethernet NIC)
2. Address Type: Assigned by DHCP
3. IP Address: 192.168.1.100
4. Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
5. Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
6. DHCP Server: 192.168.1.1
7. Physical Address: 00-0C-76-A2-49-BF

Some of the windows in XP Home (son's machine) in the Internet connection section are different than what I show in XP Pro.

Anyway, I do hope someone can make sense of all of the above, and possibly assist us in getting back online.
