Can't connect on first time boot up

[krashsun]

Hi,

Just need some advise here. I am using windowsXP and every time after I boot up my pc I can't access internet. Its only after I restart my pc then I can login. I was thinking maybe it can't detect the modem-router on first boot then only after restart only it can detect. On first time boot I cannot access the modem at 192.168.1.1 also.

The first time boot up ipconfig /all are:

After I open web browser or try to go internet it became

So was wondering whether its the modem part, the OS part or the broadband provider's problem.
I am using modem-router Aztech DSL 600 EU.
 Thanks.

It seems like on the 2nd boot the connection misses your router and connects directly? Also the first boot no Ip address seems strange. Not sure if node type should be hybrid, but i wouldnt know how to change that anyway.
Check your network adapter settings - it should be configured to automatic (no manual ip's anywhere).
Once you've checked that see if there is a router software upgrade available from the suppliers website. Or even download a more recent firmware if available (read notes before installing).

Does the connection work properly when you remove the router? What are the ipconfig settings then?

burton, don't fall into error by making assumptions about very clear defined things. Look here, the first response in a search page (altavista, google or other search engine): http://support.microsoft.com/kb/160177. It is no problem with the node type in our problem. (I apologize for my correction. More, I forgot about those settings and I had to search on internet to find a proper answer).

krashsun, and after your connection works? What is the windows ip configuration?
Maybe it is not necessary to restart the computer, maybe the command:
ipconfig /renew
will sufice when you have that problem.

I ask you about the ip settings after you are able to connect on internet to see what ip address your computer reports, if it is a private ip address (so your modem-router acts as a router also) or a public ip address (so your modem-router acts as a bridge).
