Cant connect to the net. DHCP problem?

[skad4life]

earlier today I found I had to restart my laptop, only to find upon re-booting that it wouldn't connect me to the net.

Using my Intel (R) ProSet wireless it said I was connected to Belkin (my home wireless network), but I had the 'limited or no connectivity' message in the bottom right.

Since, I have run a number of tests, including running the command prompt, and inputting ipconfig/all (results can be posted) as well as running a network diagnostic test - which had aspects that failed(again results can be posted)

Now, I checked my sisters details (IP, default gateway etc) and manually entered these values. The 'limited connectivity' message went, but still no luck on the net.

From this, does anyone have any ideas? Should I copy and paste my ipconfig and network diagnostics output?

Thanks

Jay

Please post the results of your ipconfig/all and the diagnostics. Can we assume your sister's system is able to access the net?

Hers works fine, as does my Dads, as does this PC I'm using at the mo

My ipconfig results change depending on wether I autmoatically assign the IP address etc or wether I use the same settings as my sister.

I'll post the results with the settings manually entered for now?

First off, enable DHCP on that connection.

Select Start > Settings > Network Connections.

• Double-click the Connection icon of the connection you wish to modify to open the Local Area Connection Status window.
• Click the Properties button to open the Local Area Connection Properties window.
• Click to highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
• Click the Properties button to open the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties window.
• TCP/IP Properties window, IP Address tab
• Select Obtain an IP address automatically.
• Select Obtain DNS server address automatically.
• Click OK to return to the Local Area Connection Properties window.
• Click OK to return to the Network Connections window.

Next, let's reset the stack.

TCP/IP stack repair options for use with Windows XP with SP2/SP3.

Start, Run, CMD to open a command prompt:

In the command prompt window that opens, type type the following commands:

Note: Type only the text in bold for the following commands.

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

Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults, type: netsh winsock reset catalog

Reboot the machine.




Finally, I'd like to see this.

Try these simple tests.

Hold the Windows key and press R, then type CMD (COMMAND for W98/WME) to open a command prompt:

In the command prompt window that opens, type type the following commands one at a time, followed by the Enter key:

IPCONFIG /ALL

PING <computer_IP_address>

PING <default_gateway_address>

PING <dns_servers>

PING 206.190.60.37

PING yahoo.com

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter to copy the contents to the clipboard.
Paste the results in a message here.

<computer_IP_address> - The IP Address of your computer, obtained from the IPCONFIG command above.

<default_gateway_address> - The IP address of the Default Gateway, obtained from the IPCONFIG command above.

<dns_servers> - The IP address of the first (or only) address for DNS Servers, obtained from the IPCONFIG command above.
