Computers

Ok.. I just got a new computer, and wireless router. I have 2 ethernet wall ports that i set up when i finished my basement, and my room has one of them. I moved one of the old computers to my room, and now it wont connect to the internet... It complains of not having its own address... My laptop gets internet from those ports, but this computer will not connect fully ( It says little to no connectivity, and shows me my network details, but wont bother to connect to the internet...
I can't figure out what to do...

P.S. it is running through about 100-125 ft of ethernet cable between the router and the port... If that makes a difference.

It says it is not assigned a network address, and when i click repair, it says it was not able to renew the IP address.

Please help me out... i need to fix in like an hour...

Could you test the PC in the old location. Are you sure the laptop isn't using WIFI and the port isn't working

Dann474 · 10-30-2009, 09:43 PM

Yes, I'm posotive that the port works... One of my dad's friends came in with a tester yesterday, to do that, and set up other network stuff, but he is gone...

I could test the PC back somewhere else again... but it worked like 2 days ago... and i'm lazy.

Dann474 · 10-30-2009, 10:22 PM

Tried at another connection, and works fine, but still can't make it work at my room...

Dann474 · 10-30-2009, 11:19 PM

Updated first post... Seriously... No one knows anything?

blazingpf · 10-30-2009, 11:43 PM

so laptop is connect thru ethernet and you desktop is connected thru wireless?

Dann474 · 10-30-2009, 11:50 PM

No..... The desktop does not have wireless... Which would solve the problem, but i don't have an extra wireless card...

It doesn't make much since, one computer works through that port, but another doesn't.... However the computer works elsewhere. The only thing i could think of is that the router is holding the ip address assigned to that computer (via mac address.) and causing an error when trying to connect again. I doubt that's it because it rarely happens. Usually when you disconnect from a router and reconnect it assigns you a new local ip. ex: 192.168.2.x or of something similar.

Have you tried having everything connected already, (desktop plugged into your room port, the one you want it in.) and rest everything. Pull the plug on the router and modem,(if it has a backup battery take that out as well.) plug the modem in first. Wait 30 seconds, or until all lights are done blinking. then plug in router. Turn on computer and you "should" be good.

This is the best advise i can give you with out seeing it myself =]

You are 100 percent sure that port is working? Also when you plug it in do the act and link lights on the network card light up/flash?

thizsukz · 11-01-2009, 07:02 PM

do any of the computers have manually assigned IP? do u have dhcp enabled? try to reboot the pc, then go to run and type ping -t 192.168.1.1

Picard1595 · 11-01-2009, 08:09 PM

It wouldnt matter if there was a manually assiged IP as this is all on the same network unless of course he has 2 routers with DHCP enabled on the same network.
