cant connect to broadband
I used to use dial up for my ME and there is no problem such as infections
etc. Just got my cable broadband which when I connect it directly to my Labtop via ethernet cable, I can surf the net. However, when I connect the ethernet cable to my ME (desktop) I cannot access the internet. Startcommandipconfig/all does not show any ip address nor the gateway (both blank). Is there anything I must do before be abl to connect to internet, thanks. |

Check that your network card is configured correctly. Has this ever
worked? Right click on Network Neighbourhood (or Control Panel | Network), go to the Configuration tab, highlight TCP/IP in the list of network components and then click Properties. On the Bindings tab check that it is bound to Client for Microsoft Networks, on the IP Address tab ensure that it is set to "Obtain an IP address automatically" and that "Detect connection to network media" is checked. PS, in addition to using the DOS command ipconfig you might find using winipcfg a useful alternative (it is simply a GUI front end to ipconfig). -- Mike Maltby leemsbbe wrote: I used to use dial up for my ME and there is no problem such as infections etc. Just got my cable broadband which when I connect it directly to my Labtop via ethernet cable, I can surf the net.
