ip address

[dmokles]

when i go into "cmd" dos screen and type in "ipconfig" there are all zero's where my ip address is supposed to be.  I have all the numbers I need and when i go into "network connections" and click on the wireless connection i have and go into properties and go into "internet protocol" and put the adresses in, they do not take.  How can I put my ip address back into my computer???  Thanks for any help.  I talked to my internet support and they told me my wireless card was bad, i changed it and still have the same problem.

What type of connection do you have?
What hardware is used to connect to the internet, is a network been set up?

If your sure all your hardware is connected properly (double check just to be sure) try going to command prompt and typing:

ipconfig /renew

then hit enter. see if that helps...

yes, all the connections are set up, it was working fine for a long time and then all of a sudden it stopped working.  I will try your suggestion.  thank you.

No probs...

couple more questions

Is there a router involved or does the computer connect directly to the internet?

Also, can you give details of your OS, protection, any software or hardware changes before this happened?

[dmokles]

my operating system is Windows xp, there were no software or hardware changes before this happend, i have mcaffe anti virus enabled.  The wired router is on a different computer, i have a wireless card on this one.

Might have gotten more attention in Networking, but.......
In the connections properties, set the DHCP server and gateway to the routers IP address.
