Title: internet connection
Post by: NOT on September 09, 2006, 12:03:44 PM

Just installed new mobo and processor in kids comp, and i cant get my internet connection back. I have cable internet, connects from modem to router to comps.
 Other comp works fine, tried switching ports, but no go. thought onboard ethernet port bad, bought network card, still no go. It recognizes when cable is plugged and unplugged, but doesnt see internet.
I have uninstalled and reinstealled drivers, checked every setting i can think of.
HELPPPPP!!!:)

thx in advance.

You probalby limited the number of PC's that can connect to your router by Mac  address... Teh old mac address remains in the router.  go into the router and delete the computers that are there.

Just a thought.

reset the routor ... or open its config (type in its ip ) and do a dhcp release and renew  .
now you should be able to go thru the intardnet connect wizard in windows.

And if you do use the wizard dont get suckered into that Windows Internet Gateway.

Hit OTHER, then select router, and windows wont try to fug up your internet connection too.

BMnot, you do have it as a dynamic and not static ip selected right?


Can you ping the router on the computer not working?


Are you using a blue ethernet cable to the router?


Does your router have any firewall settings activated denying your computer from accessing the internet.


Use the internet wizard.  Open internet explorer, go to tools and then internet options.  Then go to Connections tab and then click wizard.   Answer the questions.

You can also reset the router by simply unpluging it. waiting a minute then plugging it back in

switch cables between good computer and bad one. Sometimes (rarely) cat5 can be bad.


Have u looked at the DHCP tables in the router software and deleted all computers there?

If the cables  are good then plug your pc DIRECTLY into the cable modem bypassing the router.

If you get a internet connect there, you know its an issue with the router not conneting to you computer and not a hardware related issue.
