Network is connected, but only 12 packets recieved


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I've just finished laying a new ethernet cable from my pc to my router. The problem is, I can't connect.

If I have windows set to automatically assign an IP address, it just doesn't assign an Ip address. If I set a fixed IP address, it says the network is connected, but I still can't access the network, and in the status box, it shows only 12 packets recieved.

It can't be a problem with the cable because I tried connecting my laptop instead, and that worked fine.

I have tried everything I can think of, and nothing is working. Pleas help.

My NIC is an SIS 900 onboard 10/100 ethernet controller and my router is a US Robotics USR8054 router. However I even tried another US Rbotoics PCI ethernet card, and that didn't work.

EDIT: I forgot to add my NIC's MAC address to the list of allowed addresses on my router :pinch:
