i have tested the cable and i just moved the computer into my room at work
were i do the computer stuff and it worked fine so i know it is not the computer . The cable is plugged into a little 6 port switch and that is hooked up to a 48 port cisco switch. I have replaced the 6 port switch still the same thing . It is hard to tell what other computers are hooked up to it but i am going to trace the wire down and see what other computers are hooked up to it and see if they have the same problem. I am not forsure if they will have a problem but yet i do not know why they would not have the same problem since those computers are hooked up to the same 6 port switch. Because those computers have a client program that connects to the server and if there is any problems with the connection the computer comes up with a message and i have not seen anything like that.But i will trace down the wire and find out "Haggis" wrote: "sthompson" wrote in message ... yes i have downloaded the drivers it is set dhcp. I have installed windows 2000 and when i booted up the computer i still got a 169.254 number i restarted the computer and i got and ip address from dhcp but it still has the same problem with pinging "communication problem". So since i have this communication problem i am having problems joining to the domain or doing anything that has to do with the network "Haggis" wrote: "sthompson" wrote in message ... My windows 98 computer i just formated will not get any ip address dynamically from our server. When i get logged onto the computer locally i try doing a renew of the ip address and it only gives me the 169.254.*.* number. So i do it statically and i can ping but the loss is between 50%-75% . I have replaced the network card i have plugged the computer into a different port on the switch and that did not help. All the other computers on that switch ping fine so i know its not the switch. So i am going to try to install windows 2k see if that will help.Does anyone have anything for me to try because i dont thing that installing windows 2k will help. before you go that road ....did you reinstall the correct drivers for the nic ? (since you just formatted the default drivers for your nic may not be the correct ones) and of course DHCP is enabled on that machine.... did you try a new cable? is your gateway set on that computer? |
