need computer help....
 

my computer is ------ homo... so here is the deal. my computer wont connected to the internet. we are using cable internet threw a router. my roommates computers connect fine (im using one to write this). my computer has two enthernet hookups (not sure why) i have tried both, and it seem the problem is that the IP that it automaticly comes up with (set on auto config) is just invalid, and i have confirmed this with my roommates computer.

peice of ---- was working ok 2 days ago... >:D anyone have some ideas? besides a new computer, i will start that search right now...

reboot?

i have only rebooted it 5+ times, ran my spyware ----, and let those reboot...

if you have two nic cards in the back, it wont work. one card has to be removed. lan hookups are never more than one on a motherboard. so if it has two, remove the other. the other should be a card. remove that.

Or disable 1 of the network cards in device Manager or the BIOS.

Open up a Dos Prompt within windows and type.

ipconfig /renew

THis will get u a new ip address from the router ;)


Btw i have 2 network cards in my pc, never had a problem so far...

Re: need computer help....
 

unplug router and modem for 10 mins...

"an error occurred while renewing interface local area connection 9: an operation was attempted on something that is not a socket."

Re: need computer help....
 

you have it in the wrong socket?

Re: need computer help....
 

rip the network card out from device manager,
uninstall the drivers ..... for the netowrk card..
reboot and then reinstall drivers..

before u do that, disable any other network connections,

like the 2 other people said, reset the router and then ipconfig /renew from dos
