Good afternoon everyone,
I'm on an old Windows XP Desktop computer, and I've been trying to restore internet capabilities to it. My desktop has a wired internet connection via an ethernet cable. The adapter is a Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC. I've conducted the following commands to test my local area network (LAN):
ping 127.0.0.1 //for the loopback address
ping localhost //for loopback name
ping (my computer's ip address) //for my computer's ip address
ping (my computer's name) //for my computer's name
ping (my laptop's ip address) //for my other computer (laptop) ip address
ping (my laptop's name) //for my laptop's name
Only the last 2 commands timed out with the message: "Request timed out", having 4 lost (100%) packets.
The previous 4 previous commands went well.
Can anybody provide me with a solution to this?
