I tried everything eith my system in the bedroom and I can't get online.

 

1. The Local arwa connection is on and showing that I am online with no problems.

 

2. I use a cale connection to get online.

 

3. I also put another pc on the same connection in the room and it worked fine.

 

4. I ran spyware removal and also ran virus programms. Found some viruses and repaired them but I still can't get online.

 

Please Help

How is tcp/ip configured for the network? DHCP? Static IP?

What does ipconfig /all say?

It is set to obtain ip automatically andI don't have a static ip

I think he means goto a command prompt and type :

 

ipconfig /all

 

Then post your results. I'm sure its probably something simple and silly thats overlooked, just gotta figure out what it is.

 

Perhaps the machine is setup for a different connection type, maybe TCP/IP is configured wrong, Is it configured to share files/connection correctly?

 

So many ways to go here.

when i go to run and I type "ipconfig" I get a black screen that comes and goes

goto RUN and type

 

CMD

 

first, this will open a command prompt window... then type

 

IPCONFIG /ALL

 

Inside the command prompt window

this is what it says:

 

Look at screenshot attached:

Theres no default gateway listed, this should be the same as your DHCP server number. DNS Suffix Search List is also not listed

 

Also I'm curious about your host name... usually this would be the name of the computer your on. The photo shows it as saying FRONT... is this implying FRONTIER INTERNET ?? Or is that just what you named it when installing XP ? The reason I'm asking is I wonder if you maybe just typed in the wrong info in the wrong boxes when you configured it.. sure seems like it..

 

Wish I was in front of the screen, I'd probably have it in less then a minute..

 

It appears to be a DHCP error in your configuration.

 

Can you at LEAST log into the modem or can you ping the other PC ??

 

Also did you enable home networking in the network setup wizard??

 

I guess what I'm really asking, is are the 2 computers able to communicate with each other... if so then we can focus this a little better.
