There are 2 main questions here that would help me out a lot if i could find the answer to either....
1) Is the problem located in my computers on-board ethernet adapter, or is the problem located in the router.
2) If the problem conserns my on-board ehernet adapter, Is it definatly hardware or software problem?
Hardware) - linksys router, and a Reltek 10/100 on-board ethernt adapter on a Soyo p4i865pe mobo
PROBLEM) -
-- when i first built this computer just recently, it was working with the linksys router both set to Static.
-- I switched it over to Auto IP though, and used it strait threw the modem.
-- However once i switched it back to the router, it would no longer work when set to a Static IP.
-- It works on Auto IP though..... AND if i set it to 'Obtain IP automaticaly' Coppy down the IP and Stuff that the modem address to the computer..... and then set the computer to 'Static' and input that info manually.... Static will work with the Modem or a DHCP enabled router.... but not with the Static linksys witch i orignally used a couple time in the very recent past???
