no default gateway address

[oplinger]

I've been searching into this problem for quite some time now, and i cant seem to find any answer that works.

Anyway, for some reason or another, i was asked to change the wireless password for my router. which is no big deal, but thats when it started, My computer (has a wired connection to the router) cant seem to connect to the router (or maybe...interface with it?) I can ping everyone on the network, but thats about all i can do through the router.

i have restarted my computer, the router, DHCP is on, i have reinstalled my NIC's drivers, manually set the default gateway and IP and DNS, and all of them independently, ive -restarted- my DHCP services. all that fun you find in the rest of the answers i have found myself.

my computer is the only one currently having this issue, the router works fine for the rest of them, so that leads me to believe its just myself. Does anyone have any insight? did i miss something? ...and if there is any information i need to provide i will do so.

...i feel as if perhaps this problem stumps the masses....

I was away yesterday.

You have no connection to the router.

First step would be to try a new cable and a new port on the router. If that doesn't do it, try this stack repair.

TCP/IP stack repair options for use with Windows XP with SP2.

Start, Run, CMD to open a command prompt:

Reset TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ip reset reset.log

Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults: netsh winsock reset catalog

Reboot the machine.
