A strange problem with my network. Need advice
I have 3 computers coupled to a Linksys wireless router, that is coupled to
a braodband connection. All computers are XP and the IP numbers are through DHCP. Everything worked fine. Then my little son got his hands on my laptop (coupled via a wireless card) and suddenly that computer has no connection with the network or internet anymore. I look at all the settings in the network card properties, everything OK it seems, but ipconfig tells me there is no ip address assigned to the card couse it cant find the DHCP server. ipconfig /release /renew does not help. OK I try the cabled network slot on my laptop. Same results. I try the network setup wizard. That only adds a bridge connection but doesn't help the situation. Through another computer in my network I indeed see that the laptop is not recognized. In the network card properties of the laptop card I then set a static IP address. This works -for both the built in network adapter as well as the wireless card- but the weird thing is that I now can make contact with the network again, but not with the internet, eventhough i get the message that internet is now connected. The othetr computers on the network have no problems and can access the network and the internet. Anybody any idea what is going on? Am I missing something somewhere? What can I do to fix it. ED |
