xael821,
Is there a reason that you don't have DHCP enabled.
Start, control panel, network and sharing center. Click on your network, properties. Look for TCP/IPv4 and TCP/IPv6 and click on properties. Have your settings match mine.

xael821Is this a hardware problem? Software, OS?
What operating system are you using? 32-bit or 64-bit?
Try running an ipconfig /all log and post it back here.
OK, so I made that script and double clicked it, but I have no idea how to access the log it should produce... any ideas? Also I'm on 32 bit
Hit the Windows key and the R keys at the same time. Type
cmd
type
ipconfig /all (space between the g and /)
Right click on the top ot the log, then left click copy, then paste it back here.
Ok...so the cmd where it should pop up autocloses almost instantly so i cannot access it...sorry I'm bad at being helped but any other ideas?
On all systems, when you hit the Windows key and the R keys at the same time, you'll see...
For XP, you have the type
command
For Vista/Windows 7, you have to type
Hit enter. Type
ipconfig /all
got it... here's the entire thing

That was terrific, it worked! Thank you so much for helping me and dealing with my measure of ineptitude!
Glad you got it working! Thanks for posting back.
Take care,
Help!!!
My desktopPC is the main computer in this house and we have wireless. Two desktops and both are working; however, my laptop was working this morning, lost connection to wireless and I cannot get it connected back. I was doing what I usually do in the morning and so nothing was different. How can I reconnect? I am so confused by this.
Appreciate any help to get me out of this jam...
Thanks,
s32144,
Power off the ISP modem/routeer and the wireless router(if any) Wait 30 seconds, then power on the ISP modem/router. Wait 15 seconds, then power on the wireless router(if any).
Restart your computer.
Try to connect.
What happens?
I did that this morning because I assumed (never should assume :) I guess) that the whole network was down. The other computers would go online but my laptop wouldn't.

I have Windows 7. I am just not technically inclined when it comes to this kind of thing....
