Cannot access Internet????????

[fj62alex]

Hi,

I am totaly puzzled with this problem. I am using a cable modem connected to a wireless D-Link router. Router is connected directly to one computer (network cable) and I am using an USB wireless adapter on the other computer. The other computer work just fine. But the computer that is directly connected to a router, doesn't. Cannot connect to an internet. I've checked a few things including DNS client (enabled), DHCP service is enabled. I tried to release and renew IP address and it doesn work. Turned router on/off, tried to reset it and it doesn't help either. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Alex

Can you ping the router from the one directly connected?
Can you pin say "

http://www.google.com"

from command prompt?

Perhaps the cable is bad.

What settings does the connection get from the router? are they similar to the ones on the Wireless machine?

Is the router's IP address set as the Gateway for the wired machine?

Is it getting the correct DNS's? Does the wireless maybe have DNS's set manually?

All this should help us diagnose the problem better.

Was wondering if you were getting an ip address at all. Sometimes when release renew hangs its because the router doesnt see the other pc. reboot and see what ip you have, then check your NIC to make sure lights, cabling ect is connected. If everything looks ok then try statically assigning an ip address to the computer, that way you may be able to narrow the issues down to DHCP
