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

    • Can you read? I've said I'm willing to pay more for a notchless (no notch) 3:2 screen.
    • Not even an OLED display on the laptops. Also it seems that the laptop design isn't the same as the Surface Ultra model. Looks like bargain bin at high prices.
    • make your own notch - it's not that hard
    • VirtualBox 7.2.10 by Razvan Serea VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD. Some of the features of VirtualBox are: Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox. Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.

    • OK, now ask yourself how are they going to enforce that law? By requiring every single adult to prove their age and provide their legal identity documents to an UNREGULATED 3rd party company that already has a long track record of multiple data breaches. Not to mention, parliament have voted AGAINST this ban, twice, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. So, where's the democracy here, because that looks like dictatorship to me. The solution here is parental responsibility, not government control. Run some public service announcements on TV and UK social media teaching parents how to setup parental controls. That's already been proven to actually work. But the, this is not and has NEVER been about keeping kids safe. It's about control and monitoring. Watching what you're doing online and controlling what you can see and what you can say.
