Greetings Group,

I want to network my desktop computer with a laptop for internet and file
sharing. I am currently connected to the internet through a usb cable
modem. No problems. The problem is that I can't get the computer to
connect through my ethernet card.

I have an AMD XP 2500 cpu, 512 ram, and a Belkin Fd5000 ethernet card
running on Windows 98se. The card is recognized and working properly in
device manager, winipcfg shows I have IP address, subnet mask, default
gateway, and DHCP server. Network Neighborhood show everything I need.

I have rebuilt the TCP/IP stack, deleted the card in device manager and
rediscovered it, deleted the winsock line in the registry and rebooted, ran
the windows internet setup and it still won't connect to the internet. I
cable back through the modem as a USB connection and I'm fine.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Carey,

Thanks for the excellent site but I've done everything on it to no avail.
I'm throwing in the towel.

If you're throwing in the towel, then you have nothing to lose by

John,

Thanks but it didn't help. Still can't get a default gateway through my
ethernet card.

Question: Can I network my desktop and laptop for internet and file
sharing, from my cable modem to a wireless router and then wirelessly to my
desktop, if I put a wireless card in, and to my wireless laptop? Seems like
a waste when the router would be 2 feet from the ethernet card, which can't
get a connection, but I don't know what else to try.

If you think it is a routing problem, it would help if you could post
your routing table. From a command prompt, type:
route print >\file.txt
and it will dump your routing table into a file (\file.txt) that you
can copy/paste into a post. This should reveal whether it is really a
routing problem and perhaps hint at some solutions.

As for your question, you may have the same problem there. I'd try it
with borrowed equipment first.

HTH,
John

Your USB connection looks fine.
This table shows that you have your Ethernet card configuration set to
obtain its address automatically through DHCP and the card is unable to
obtain an IP address. When this happens, Windows automatically assigns
a 169.254.x.x address to the adapter. You never mention what is
connected to the other end of your ethernet connection -- a 10/100-
base-T cable modem? router? Whatever it is, it appears not to be
communication via DHCP to assign an IP address to your ethernet
adapter.

HTH,
John

John,

It's a Toshiba PCX1100U cable modem provided by Time Warner Cable. I'll
take it and trade it in for another one and see if that works.

Thanks for all your help. It's greatly appreciated.

Has this cable modem been provisioned/registered by the cable company?
If not, it will not give out an IP address.

Good Luck
