I recently got DSL. It is working fine on my first computer, but when I tried to hook up a second PC it will not work. Now I belive the problem is narrowed down to the 2nd PC.
Steps I've taken,
DSL works on first PC with or without it going thou my router.
DSL does not work on second PC with or without router.
Switched Ethernet cards from PC to PC they both work.
I cannot get the two computers to network. When I tried to repair network, on the 2nd PC, connection it says "cannot complete repair, IP address cannot be refreshed". Also it will not let me delete this network connection, even if it is disabled.
And here is where it gets worse. I figure I'll run a windows repair it does not recconize the CD. It tells me it is unformatted "RAW". I checked the cd in the other PC and it works. I also put a windows 98 CD in the problem PC and it works fine (bangs head on desk).
I don't really know where to go from here please help.
I'm running XP pro on both PCs
