can't renew ip address

[charpam1]

i installed a router and a wireless usb adapter to my computer. i was able to do a ipconfig /release, but it will not get the ip address when i do ipconfig / renew. i have disconnected the modem,router,and computer including power down and resetting everthing but i still cant not get an ip address on my desktop. my laptop can access the internet wirelessly.

are you sure to have an active dhcp on your network ?

aren't ip adds supposed to be given by your ISP?

No, your router should be setup with DHCP and assigning IP's automatically. Your ISP probably uses DHCP to assign IP's but you only get one. Your router is what provides you with additional IP's usually in the 192.168.x.x range.

make sure you have a link light on the NIC on your PC (should be 2 lights blinking) and make sure the network cable is plugged in securely. then check your TCP/IP settings and make sure they are set to obtain IP address automatically.

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

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?

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 to open a command prompt:

Type the following commands:

PING 216.109.112.135

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.
