I just recently changed my DSL to Cable internet, then my nightmares
began.....
Charter Cable Internet with brand new Motorolla SURFboard modem
I have 3 computers at home (1 laptop and 2 desktop) for different
purposes
all 3 computers are running on XP
all 3 computers were able to connect via my old DSL
I dont have a router, just 1 cable from cable modem
I connected the cable to my laptop, it was fine, I can get online at
proper speed
I unplug the cable and plug into my desktop, everything looks fine,
internet was detected; but it doesnt work, no data was sent out
I tried my other desktop, same thing
I then tried my laptop (cable plug in, not wireless), its perfectly fine
I tried the above several times, so I know the Cable is fine, but
something is wrong with my network card configuration
I uninstall, reinstall the drivers for network cards, still no luck
I did the RUN-CMD-IPCONFIG, it looks fine
I did the RUN-CMD-PING, no connection
I call the cable company for DNS, and manually key in the numbers;
still doesnt work
I set it at auto detect IP/DNS; still doesnt work
I format the hard drive, and reinstall the system, and repeat the above
many times, still doesnt work.....
please help.....
