router problem please help........

Jacklin2001

hi,

i have a problem with my wireless router.

the wireless part is fine and i can get the internet on other computers connected wirelessly to the router.

the problem is i cant get the internet working on the computer the router is wired to.

i have tried 'repairing the connection' but it stops and says that it failed on renewing the ip address.

i have tried 2 different routers on the computer and both of them work wirelessly but not on the wired computer.

any help is greatly appreciated

Is the light on where it is connected?

Are there any errors in control panels, network connection, lan connection.

Have you setup any ip restrictions on the router, is dhcp enabled for the network connection on the PC?

What happens if you do

start, run, cmd
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

the light is on for power, internet and connection one to the wired computer.

how do i find if there are any errors in lan connection? (there isnt anything obvious on the lan connection icon)

its a new router (SKY Broadband) so no ip restrictions (that i know), how do i check dhcp is enabled?

havent tried ipconfig/ release, ipconfig/ renew yet will try in a min

Thanks

Look on your router homepage for dhcp enabling.

if you go into cpanel/net/lac/tcpip/properties

is it set to obtain an ip and dns automatically?

try https://www.routerlogin.com for the router admin

Jacklin2001

yeah its set to automatically obtain both ip and dns

Does ping 127.0.0.1 work?

Has this worked before?

Posting the results of

start run cmd
ipconfig /all >c:\1.txt
notepad c:\1.txt

might help.

Why is it connection 6?

Did you try the renew and release.

do you know the router password (may be admin sky)??

Jacklin2001

not sure why its connection six lol

i tried renew release but renew didnt work

i have access to the router now.

anything else because i still cant get it to work

not sure if it is standard netgear firmware, but check the settings under lan ip setup. make sure dhcp is enabled, and there are enough numbers available for all your PC's

192.168.0.1 - 255

you could also try adding an ip address reservation for the mac address of your card.
