Okay, I am at a friend's house using his internet to post this. I have called my cable company but they didn't understand my problem, I'm sure you guys/girls will. I switched to Charter (ISP) and got Cable internet. When I hooked my other PC up, it wouldn't connect to the internet. I was recently using Dish Internet, which they installed some Software on it. I want to keep this software b/c it cost around $100.00 to reinstall it. -_- I am using a Net gear Router. When I hook my pc up to the internet directly from the modem, it says "acquiring Address" and never does anything else. When I went threw the Router, it showed it was connected but actually it wasn't. When I checked to see if it was sending packets, it showed it was sending but not receiving. Also, the Router IP address won't send threw. Can anyone please help me? I would really love to get all 10 PC's running on my internet w/o wireless. (I live near a airport and they wont let me run wireless for some reason)
