Router and dhcp problems
I'm trying to connect my computer to our house network, which two of my friends have been able to I've checked the cables fine plus there's no explanation marks in the device manager so i'm assuming my network card is fine.
I used to get no or limited connectivity but i tried setting the ip and subnet mask manually which gets rid of the limited or no connectivity, however I still don't connect to the network. After checking my lan setting and details I don't have nay dhcp settings which my firneds have. I've tried going into cmd and tried ipconfig/ release and ipconfig /renew but doesn't seem to help. And i get the message about it not being able to connect to the dhcp server. Can someone help me as i've ran out of ideas. It's XP home SP2 i'm running if that helps, plus it's a safecom cable/dsl router. Cheers Last edited by Moron; 10-20-2006 at 07:52 AM. |

When you set static you must also put in dns server ip addresses, which you can get off the routers connection status page. I would just set static ip address and be done with it.

I've tried the static attemp by entering the ip, subnet mask, gateway and dns server, which gets rid of the limited or no connectivity problem but still can't see the other guys on the network, or connect to the internet either.

To help eliminate variables, try this:
1. Use a network cable and port in your router you *know* is working (i.e. plugged into a working computer) 2. Make sure your router has available DHCP addresses. If you are limiting the amount of addresses it assigns, this could be why you can't connect. 3. Ping your router IP (this will be the Gateway IP Address on a working computer) if you get nothing it _may_ be hardware related. |
