Repair network connection does not fix the problem , I have to assign


Recommended Posts

I have got Satellite Toshiba Laptop A-100 that is running Windows XP Profe SP3.

The computer is connected to a D-Link router (DHCP server) that is connected to a cable modem.

Out of sudden the laptopl stopped working on the internet although the network connection is repaired more than one times.

And the same problem with wireless card.

If I assigned static ip addresses to both wired and wireless card they work,,,both of them not only one

Wired card is : Intel® PRO/100 VE Network Connection.

Wireless card is :Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection

I tried to test my laptp on another router (Netgear) which is connected to another ISP same problem is going on with both wired and wireless cards.

What can cause this problem ?

Obviously it is not the ISP (I tried two different ISP), nor cables (because I tried more than one), nor router (because I tried two different routers)

You dont say what the problem is though..

I mean.. do you get any error messages or you just get the timeout error from IE?

using a DOS box, can you ping your router? and can you ping a website (any website)?

And if you leave the cards on DHCP, do they get an IP address in the range you're expecting?

What about the gateway address and the DNS addresses? Is the DHCP server serving them too?

When I use DHCP, NIC card getting default window ip address 169.x.x.x

Sorry about that, NIC card does not get ip address via DHCP

.. do you get any error messages

No.

No, it gets default window ip address 169.x.x.x

From ISP

So are either router configured to assign addresses via DHCP? That's kind of important.

Yes.

I just realized by help from others (credit goes to them) that it is a firewall issue (COMDO), although it was disabled (turn off) but that was not helpful , till I uninstalled it, and now every thing is fine.

Thanks Guys

    • Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes by Usama Jawad Visual Studio 2026 recently netted a powerful feature that finally allows developers to review Git Pull Requests (PRs) directly in the integrated development environment (IDE), without needing to switch to the browser. However, that's not all that Microsoft introduced in the latest version, as it also offered a useful way to customize the IDE to their heart's content. Although Visual Studio 2026 already provides lots of stock themes based on Fluent Design principles, Microsoft understands that people still want to customize them further according to their preferences. The IDE now offers a new configuration page for themes under Tools > Options > Environment > Visual Experience > Theme colors. This allows you to set hex color codes for accent colors, hover states, and more, and apply them without requiring a restart. The Redmond tech giant further says that: Microsoft is also offering granular color tokens that allow you to customize various UX elements like the tab header without impacting the rest of the shell chrome. Your themes are also stored in JSON format in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\18.0_xxxxxxxx\ColorThemes, which basically enables you to share it with others or override existing themes. This is a major improvement in terms of the user experience powering these customization capabilities. This is because extensions were required to replace the theme, and it was not very easy to make minor adjustments. This theme configuration UX solves this problem and is available in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, available here.
