it is 169.xxx.xxx.xxx?  I would really try and power cycle the router.. that is a router issue not an internet issue.  You should be able to receive an IP address whether or not you have internet.

It is an internet problem and yes it shows 169.xxx.xxx.xxx even after I power cycle modem(direct to PC).The router is fine it shows 192.168.1.100.The only way the modem will get the IP is by unplugging the modem power AND COAX.Plug modem back in,then I wait for the receive light to stay on then I put the coax back in,works every time other wise it shows the 169.xxx.xxx.xxx if I don't unplug the coax.

I've only had this problem with Time Warner.This PC was on Charter before and it had no problems connecting to the modem or router,it's Time Warner.Like I said above thats only way it will get the IP is when I unplug the coax other wise it shows 164.xxx.xxx or something like that and limited or no connectivity.So if someone is having the same problem try as I said above.

Windows XP Home SP2

Motorola 4100,5120 does the same thing

Linksys WRT54G

Connect by ethernet

Unplug the modem then the coax,plug the power back in and wait about 30 seconds and then put the coax back in.I have the same problem and thats the only way it will connect.

you want one around 450 and up.

go with the 3700 san diego core 1mb of l2 cache

between those two mb the ecs

thanks but i hope this mb is still under warranty or would this linksys be better then the onboard nic?.

ok nevermind it just connected fine wtf 

i have rest the router i will have to put the card back in and see the ip agian.and yes the card worked before

well its acting up again but i think its the onboard nic in this epox pos.been using a wireless card with no problems it just slower now.i have a linksys nc100 card but it wont connect and it keeps showing the wrong ip address.guess time for a new mb.

i don't use either,sorry

the standard speed is 5 mbps and theres 8 mbps also.

just so you know with that pci x setup on that ECS you will lose the 1st pci slot.my epox is the same way.and your gonna lose performance by only running in single channel mode.the kits are the same price. unless you plan on putting another 1 gb stick in there later?.

I also had bad luck with WD(2 drives in one year) but I only had one Maxtor die and also the Maxtor runs alot hotter then my new Seagate.

get the other board.it has a better chipset more pci slots and on board raid,and you don't need a floppy for sata hdd's also if you have a dual channel motherboard use it.one more thing the ati chipset might not play nice with your 7600gt.you really don't need that cpu fan unless your gonna overclock but  i can run mine at 2.5mhz on the stock hsf.

and heres a good power supply plus it has a rebate.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817153023

heres a good case if you don't want a front door and it comes with two 120mm fans.

the 3700 has little advantage over the 3200.and your pc2700 memory is slow you should get pc3200 if you go socket 939.get a 1 GB kit (2 x 512)or bigger from a name brand like Corsair,OCZ,Cruical,Kingston

heres some AM2 ideas

as far as power supply im running a 420w(cheapo raidmax $20.00) with no problems

my specs

Amd 3200 64 939

Epox 9npa + ultra(it was cheap)

Corsair value select 1 gb kit

Evga 7600 gt

Audigy 2 zs soundcard

2 HDD

2 optical drives

2 120mm fans

I have the 7600gt and it is a real good card for the money.but for alittle more you can get 7900gs

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130056

as for the memory just make sure the memory timings match your's.use CPUID to check your timings.http://www.cpuid.com/

If you go with socket 939 I would go with this motherboard

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131569

and the 3200 64 venice core

ok got it fixed.he replaced a splitter that only went up 600 MHz and there was a cable laying on the ground in the water,but that didn't fix it turns out it was the cable modem.

It wont connect to the internet directly from the cable modem,I've always had that problem,it has problems getting the IP.But problem is when downloading a big file the speed just drops and it stops communicating.

I got TWC coming out tomorrow.I was on the phone with them and they said the modem,router and pc look fine.

ok it wont connect to the cable modem directly from the pc 

Yes I'm using a router(Dlink DI 524) and just the windows firewall.It did this about two months ago now it's doing it again.I'll try without the router and see what happens.
