i did what DBB said and couldnt find anything when i right clicked the adapter about ipv4 or even properties...went too everytab and nothing... and im running a hardwire conn. no router .... u guys dont think its the #2 at the end of the adapter name...? that i need to change it so it dosnt say that... but i dont have two adapters it jus says #2 ... idk -.-

and the cable works fine on this computer... i switch back n forth with that computer.. n when i get that network problem fixed im gunna set up a router

ipv4 is highlighted, the properties button is just below that.

And also check it on the computer that does work. Maybe you NEED static entries.

k bruce when i did ipconfig it shows my ip adress...

dbb all i have is ( internet protocol tcp/ip ) theres a few others above it but nothing with version 4/6 and i did check the properties with that thanks for the pic its all set to automatic .... hope we arent running out of fix's =-( thx for ur help so far tho guys

 

[Bruce]

what IP is it giving you?


check the tcp/ip properties of the working comp

 

[pat_ai2006]

auto configuration ip -- 169.254.32.15 and thats not my ip adress for my working computer... nething else guys?

 

[Bruce]

169 addresses are windows default networking addresses.

what is it on your other computer? I'm beginning to suspect you have a static entry on the other computer.

 

[pat_ai2006]

on my working computer its IPv4 address - 69.118.43.--

 

[Bruce]

go to the working comps tcp/ip properties and see if its staticly entered in there, and enter the same thing in the other comp.

 

[pat_ai2006]

did alittle search on google to see what you meant by saticly entered... and in tcp/ip properties its set to automatic (in both working computer and other) so theres no ip address there..

just to note again i have no router so it must be some kind of setting in my other computer thats not correct =-| ...

the computer/internet im almost positive was working fine where it normally was then was moved to my apartment and now the problem started

 

[Bruce]

Hmmmmmmmm very odd.

possibly something in that modem binds itself to the mac address of one computer so you can't connect others without leaving the modem off for awhile.
