Can't connect to internet

[Frejoh466]

I really don't know what the problem is, every time I try to connect it just disconnect me all the time, I have reinstall the drivers but it still doesn't work.

It's Atheros ar5007eg wireless network adapter on my small Acer computer thats have been off for a while.

Any help would be good.

Can other computers connect to the internet using the same router?

I suspect there is a problem with DHCP / DNS on the router.

What do you get if you do the following:

Start -> Run -> Type "CMD" (no quotes) -> Press the Enter key -> Type "ipconfig" (no quotes) -> Press Enter

The router work fine when I use cable but I will see if it's wrong with the transmitter from the antenna.

if I do the ipconfig before I reinstall it I got that it didn't find the Ethernet-card, now I'm getting the same but it know the card is there and getting the 54/MBS but can't use it and then I get this at the bottom

Code: [Select]

autoconfig DNS-suffix.:
autoconfig IP-adress..: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
networm...............: XXX.XXX.X.X
standard-gateway......:

And it's trying to connect all the time but I just getting that yellow ! and say it's ether finite or no connection possible

The whole point of asking you was to see what the IP addresses were, to see if they were DCHP or APIPA.

Is that the output from IPCONFIG?  What operating system is it?

What does "networm" mean?

[Frejoh466]

It's a XP sp3 I upload a screen of ipconfig.

[Frejoh466]

Anyone got any ideas? Because I really don't think nor hope it's broken

[Allan]

Are you able to direct connect to the modem without any problem?

[Frejoh466]

Yes forgot to say that

[Allan]

What do you mean you just "reinstalled the computer"? Do you mean you reinstalled the OS? If so, you need to install the chipset driver.

[Frejoh466]

I have already installed everything, Chipset, internet, graphic card and so on

[Allan]

And of course I assume you've tried resetting everything (disconnect power from modem and router for 30 seconds, shut down all systems, then restore power to modem first, then router, then boot systems). Sorry for the basic question - just trying to rule out the simple stuff.

And have you tried a "clean boot" to the OS to see if it works that way?

[Frejoh466]

I will try the "Clean boot" in a while but now I got some "Microsoft" problem...

That's an APIPA Address, there is a problem with DHCP.  Your computer isn't getting a valid address from the router.

Can you please post the make and model numbers of your router and we can come up with some instructions.

ZyXEL P-320W

Have a look at the ZyXEL P-320W User Guide (downloadable from here: http://www.devicemanuals.com/guide/Network/ZyXEL/ZyXEL-P-320W-1-User-Guide-TkRnd01UZz.html)

Check out section 2.2 for connecting to your router, and 2.4.2 for information on DHCP.

You computer is expecting DHCP to be enabled on your router.

Let me know how you get on.

[Frejoh466]

I often open ports and stuff so I know the router quite well, but my computer is on Client list in DHCP with a valid IP/mac Address. But I think thats manly because I used the cable.

[Sid]

Have you tried the following:

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

[Frejoh466]

Yes, but still wont connect to the internet.

[Sid]

Yes, but still wont connect to the internet.

What do you get if you run ipconfig again?

[Frejoh466]

Well now I'm getting that I don't have any card in there... also I My IP is now 0.0.0.0

It show so every time I start the computer now.

[Sid]

I would recommend getting someone with experience to physically take a look at the machine.

[Allan]

Look in device manager. Any errors?

[Frejoh466]

Look in device manager. Any errors?

Nope, But I think I just ignore it for now... When I bought it it was garbage and it still is garbage so I really don't care so much, but I rather have a working pice of garbage then a broken one.

Thanks anyway.
