614603 2007-11-24 04:56:00 Hello

I'm currently trying to get broadband setup on my vista ultimate laptop however
once I put the ethernet cable in and turn the modem on and it attempts to connect, it just keeps on identifying the network and tells me I have limited connectivity. Any thoughts?

Thanks

614606 2007-11-24 06:25:00 Are you able to see if another PC/laptop works when plugged in in the same place? Incase it's the adsl router thats at fault, not the lappy.

After disabling IPv6,

Click on "Start", then on "Run", or hold down the Windows key on your lappy and press the "R" key.

In the box, type in

cmd

Press enter. In the open command prompt type this in.

ipconfig /release

Press enter. The ip address fields etc should show up as 0.0.0.0

Then type

ipconfig /renew

Note the space between the "g /"

See if that fixes it.

614607 2007-11-24 06:39:00 Disabling Ipv6 did nothing, however when I type in the stuff into cmd it tells me "No operation can be performed on Local Area Connection while it has its media disabled" CenC (8667)
614608 2007-11-24 06:42:00 So, is the NIC working?

Try what it says here (forums.whirlpool.net.au)

It says it could be a faulty cable

Have you configured the modem/router?

Is the ADSL led on, on the modem, and the LAN LED? Whatever the cable is connected to?

And have you entered an ip in manually for the connection??

614609 2007-11-24 06:47:00 Hmm, open the Network and Sharing Center, on the left tab, open "Manage Network Connections".

Make sure the Local Area Connection is enabled.

If it isn't, double click on it to enable it, or disable it and then re-enable it.

Try a different cable, or another PC on that modem.

Edit: Mowahaha, Speedy and the great edit button.
