Re: Router Setup
OK try the following:
Click Start > Control Panel > Network Connections. Hightlight the Local Area Connection. Right click and select Enable. If you only have the disable option try disabling it first then re-enabling it. If that does not work right click and try repair.
If all that fails then we can try setting the ip address manually.
If from your example above the router's ip is 192.168.0.100 then try the following:
In the Network Connections as per above right click Local Area Connection > select properties.
Scroll down through list - double click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
Select Use the following IP address: type the following into the corresponding fields:
IP address: 192.168.0.75
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 (this should autocomplete for you)
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.100 (or whatever the ip address of the router is)
Use the following DNS server addresses:
Preferred DNS Server: Same as default gateway. Click OK.
Test connectivitity. If this doesn't help try changing the ethernet cable and setting the TCP/IP settings above back to obtain ip address automatically. If the routers ip address is different from 192.168.0.100 e.g. its 10.0.0.1 then let me in your next post.
One other thing - if you go to Start > Control Panel > System > Hardware Tab > Device Manager is anything listed with a yellow exclamation mark? If so please post back, if this is the case do you have a separate network card or is it onboard - please post back with either the motherboard make and model or the Network adaptors make and model.
