| 614613 | 2007-11-24 07:16:00 | Ok I turn on the modem, the dsl light is on, the ethernet light is on - sometimes blinking and the PPP light is on. It's a Dynalink 1320 by the way. Now i go to network connections and it just says Identifying. Local Area Connection is enabled, however it tells me the DHCP client is not running on my computer.... | CenC (8667) | ||
| 614614 | 2007-11-24 07:21:00 | Dont know where the LAN icon is for Vista. But go there anywhere. And right mouse / properties, then go into TCP/IP, or wherever the entry is, See if its on obtain an ip automatically. And/or try this (technet2.microsoft.com) |

| 614617 | 2007-11-24 07:37:00 | It is on obtain Ip automatically, I'll try the dhcp thing now | CenC (8667) | ||
| 614618 | 2007-11-24 07:48:00 | Ok I set it to auto and it still doesn't work | CenC (8667) | ||
| 614619 | 2007-11-24 07:49:00 | After enabling the DHCP client, if it still doesn't work, make sure you set it (the DHCP Client) to automatic startup, then reboot. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 614620 | 2007-11-24 07:57:00 | Something must be working, if the LAN icon on the modem/router is on. Its either a setting in Vista, or something in the router needs configuring. |
