Limited or No Connectivity (Cabled)

[emadkhan333]

Hi,
I am having a problem connecting two PCs through ethernet.
I think theres no problem with cable, but the message on both PCs appear as "Limited or No Connectivity"
I am trying to share my internet connection which is connected to PC1. PC1 has an ethernet card of "D-Link DFE-520TX PCI FAST ETHERNET ADAPTER". This is the main PC to which my DSL modem is connected via USB cable

The Other PC2 has a built in Ethernet Port in its motherboard. Model name is "Realtek RTL8168/8111 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC"

This connection used to work prefect but one day by itself it showed this message. I have tried everything... (no help from windows as usual). I think theres a problem between the IPs because both show differnent IP address.
Please can you help me...

Emad.

Let's start with something simple, have you tried to reset the modem?

Please supply the following info, exact make and models of the equipment please.

Name of your ISP (Internet Service Provider).
Make and exact model of the broadband modem.
Make and exact model and hardware version of the router (if a separate unit).
Model numbers can usually be obtained from the label on the device.
Connection type, wired or wireless.
If wireless, encryption used, (none, WEP, WPA, or WPA2)
Version and patch level of Windows on all affected machines, i.e. XP (Home or Pro), SP1-SP2-SP3, Vista (Home, Business, Ultimate), etc.
The Internet Browser in use, IE, Firefox, Opera, etc.




Please give an exact description of your problem symptoms, including the exact text of any error messages.

• If you're using a wireless connection, have you tried a direct connection with a cable to see if that changes the symptoms?
• For wireless issues, have you disabled all encryption on the router to see if you can connect that way?
• Have you connected directly to the broadband modem to see if this is a router or modem/ISP issue?
• If there are other computers on the same network, are they experiencing the same issue, or do they function normally?

On any affected computer, I'd also like to see this:

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

Type the following commands on separate lines, following each one with the Enter key:

PING 206.190.60.37

PING yahoo.com

NBTSTAT -n

IPCONFIG /ALL

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.

If you are on a machine with no network connection, use a floppy, USB disk, or a CD-RW disk to transfer a text file with the information to allow pasting it here.
