    XP Network problem

    in Windows XP

    Posted

    i have been busy for the past week but eventually got time to hardwire the PC into the router, and it works perfectly. .

    this is starting to get very irritating, does anybody have any other ideas ?

    how do i check if the dhcp server will give out more than 2 addresses ?

    PS. the drivers are updated,

    XP Network problem

    in Windows XP

    Posted

    Hey, i've been trying to fix a problem with my home network for the past few days

    with little success.

    Heres the problem:

    I have 3 computers (2 PCs and a Laptop) my main PC is hardwired to the router,

    and the laptop is using a wireless card. The internet and network are working

    fine on these 2.

    I have a new computer which is using a wireless card and heres where the problem

    begins.

    The PC has excellent signal strength and is connecting to the network, but it is not

    recieving any information, i.e. its not working !

    When i have network settings set to automatically detect IP address's, i get the

    limited or no connectivity error. It appears its not able to pick up the correct address.

    I have entered the IP address in manually,the limited or no connectivity error goes and it says it is connected, but it is still not recieving any information (packets)

    Any help on how i can correct this IP madness is much appreciated.

    Here is IPCONFIG on all 3 computers

    The PC thats not working

    Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection:

    Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :

    Autoconfiguration IP Address. . . : 169.254.220.118
