| 425212 | 2006-02-01 07:30:00 | I don't have another pc connected to the same network. It's an alternative pc which I connect using ADSL to the internet. Ran your router can't network both pc's?? just beg/borrow/buy a hub/switch or just get a crossover cable and network them. otherwise you'll need to elimate the OS as the cause of your problems ie 2nd install (spare hardrive??) |

| 425213 | 2006-02-01 07:48:00 | One thing you could try is to fix the speed of you ethernet. You can normaly do this on the advanced tab of your network cards hardware properties. Try locking it to 10MBs half duplex then work upwards till happyness. Some cards / chipsets have problems with auto speed sync. Thanks. I tried it, but had no impact. Ran |

The router works with one laptop, the ne I'm writing from now, and fails to work with the other. Therefore, it's not a router problem. I can't opt for a connection between the working and the ailing laptops since the working is borrowed, it's not mine. Ran |

| 425215 | 2006-02-01 08:23:00 | Safari, Thanks. I tried, but not ADSL can be established. When I run ipconfig /all I get the folowing report: IP Address: 0.0.0.0 Subnet Mask: 0.0.0.0 Default Gateway: none DHCP Server: 255.255.255.255 Doesn't look good? Isn't it? Ran I suppose you have tried manually entering the IP address etc via Network Connections -Local Area Connection-Properties-Internet Protocol TCP/IP-Properties, rather than letting XP automatically set IP address? Have you tried duplicating the settings for the working laptop? |

Have you tried duplicating the settings for the working laptop? Yes, I did. The result is that ipcong /all shows the correct parameters, but this doesn't activate connection. Ran |

| 425217 | 2006-02-01 08:58:00 | Well, perhaps it is time to consider that the built-in ethernet card and/or the ethernet socket is faulty, and it is not a software problem? | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
| 425218 | 2006-02-01 09:02:00 | Well, perhaps it is time to consider that the built-in ethernet card and/or the ethernet socket is faulty, and it is not a software problem? Since the doctor-pc test of the network card provided a pass, I believe it's ok. Still, the test is partial, not comprehensive. If I don't get any easier suggstion, I plan to install a second xp installation on a second partition, and test the card directly. Ran |

| 425219 | 2006-02-01 09:10:00 | If your router has a USB option as well as ethernet, and you have the drivers, then you could by-pass the ethernet card and try connecting via USB. | Terry Porritt (14) | ||

| 425221 | 2006-02-01 09:46:00 | if that dosent help, a knoppix or similar cd could prove if the fault is software based. (if it cant connect = hardware or external, if it can = software). about $5 at DSE |
