Cant connect to net using ethernet adapters

digerati · 06-02-2005, 06:13 PM

Hey all, heres my problem--

ive been using a computer for a while-- then i moved-- it was packed away for about 3 months-- now i cant get it to connect to the internet--

its a celeron 950-- it has onboard LAN which the computer says is working perfectly fine-- but i still get dns errors--

when i go to the connection properties and check its status- its says connected at 100.00 mbs, it sends packets but the received is always zero--

so then i installed another ethernet card and tried using that but its still acting the same way as the onboard LAN--

No connectivity-- ???

Im using Road Runner-- and it works great on my laptop -- but not on my desktop PC--

If anyone has any ideas of what i can do to fix this.. PLEASE HELP me ..

Thanks All

First off, when you change the machine connected to the broadband router, you need to cycle power to the modem, did you do that.

Please post the make/model of the broadband modem, the version and patch level of Windows, and do this on the problem machine:

Open a DOS window and type:

IPCONFIG /ALL >C:RESULT.TXT

Open C:\RESULT.TXT with Notepad and copy/paste the entire results here.
