lwheat Posted March 1, 2006 CID Share Posted March 1, 2006 All computers but one can get to router and internet. I tried: power cycling router restarting computer resetting winsock reinstalling TCP/IP.... I cannot ping 192.168.0.1 I ran netdiag /test:winsock and got similar results on both problem machine and another pc I have verified that I can plug ethernet cable into another pc and connect with that pc. I'm wondering if my network adapter is fried? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted March 1, 2006 CID Share Posted March 1, 2006 Make sure that the DHCP client is set so that you are release enough addresses.. and that you dont have MAC filtering on BTW welcome to the forum! Post the specs of the computer that is having issues. interested in the network card and driver version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwheat Posted March 2, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 2, 2006 Thanks. I actually narrowed it down to a fried network adapter through process of elimination via the following steps: I tried to ping the router/gateway and Destination was unreachable. I power cycled the router and pc....no go. I verified the ethernet connection was good by plugging cable into different pc. I reinstalled network card driver...no go. I reset winsock...no go. I ran netdiag /test:winsock and got similar results on functioning and malfunctioning machines. I reinstalled TCP/IP and verified settings..no go.....finally... I went to the store and paid ten dollars for a new network adapter, installed it, and problem was solved. Not sure if I could have deduced this was the case more quickly...but all is working now. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwheat Posted March 2, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 2, 2006 Oh..it was an Intel® PRO/100 VE Network Connection. Originally, I uninstalled the driver and simply rebooted the machine, letting XP find and install driver. I also went to Sony Vaio and downloaded and installed the driver that was originally installed on my machine...I bought a generic US Robotics adapter from Best Buy...specs are at the office....
