Re: Have a wireless 'always on' broadband system, on a server computer in
the dining room, being able to connect to internet, (OS is Win XP Pro).
with a wired Sitecom network 5 port switch system to 2 bedrooms, working fine
in morning, then in afternoon, computers in bedrooms could not connect to
internet, the pc icon has the exclamation mark stating not connected, yet
is shown on the server computer downstairs as connected and working fine.
Checked all network connections etc, are correct on all computers. Have
replaced the Sitecom network switch, with a new one. Just to point out I
cannot use a wireless or router system in the house, having wireless unit in
computer, coming in from an aerial on the roof. I cannot see the other
computers on ‘my network places’, yet says the LAN is connected? Please, can
someone help me? I am in the process of selling this property and don't
want it to not go through, because of this problem.
Since this happened, now cannot get online when using administrator
account, yet icons says its connected, but can access the internet on the
other 2 user accounts, any explanation of this please?
To add to this, in reply to Chuck, giving me good advice, (yes, do supply
server PC to tenants, free,) was unable to check for a few days: suggested
I do a ‘ipconfig /all’ this I have done on server and one other computer,
(2nd tenant not in house to check hers). Results are as follows:

OK, to start, you might want to make your problem reports more readable.
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/how-to-post-on-usenet-and-encourage.html#Grammar>
http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...e.html#Grammar

And please post replies in the same thread - don't start a new thread each time.
Don't make us have to hunt for your previous problem report, that makes us work
harder, and you get less help.

Now, ThuyTran shows limited or no connectivity. Please spend some time reading
about this issue - there are several possibilities, so follow the links.
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/07/limited-or-no-connectivity.html>
http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...nectivity.html

And post "ipconfig /all" for the third computer as soon as you can. We need
that, to properly diagnose your problem.

Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
My email is AT DOT
actual address pchuck mvps org.

Can you tell me if I should use this thread or the original one? When sending
the other ipconfig /all? Sorry about that, thought it would help you, as
I'd sent original a few days before. I am willing to learn. I will try and
get the other computers ipconfig /all as soon as the tenant is in the house.
In the mean time is there anything else I should check on the host & client
computers? I am only wanting to be able to get the client computers to
access the internet, not read any files on the host/server computer, does
this make any difference?

Are you also able to tell me why I'm not able to get online, when in the
administrator account, when the 2 user accounts can get online on the host
computer only? Is this an ISP problem? Thanks for your help so far. I'm
sorry if I come across as not knowing much, can do as instructed, but do
not always understand the why's! Please keep any instructions simple for me.
Thanks.

This thread is fine. But try and type your answers after mine please.

http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...tml#TopPosting

Don't sweat the whys, and the fact that you aren't too experienced here. This
is a place where we all learn. Just be patient and persistent.
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/08/solving-network-problems-tutorial.html>
http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...-tutorial.html

And sometimes the smallest detail helps to solve a problem like yours, so be
generous.
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/06/background-information-useful-in.html>
http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...useful-in.html

Now online access to one of your computers MAY be a problem, in one network
configuration, so please indulge me, make it easier on both of us, and provide
"ipconfig /all" from the other computer. I'll be patient, and await your next
post.

Doesn't this address indicate that this computer can't find a DHCP server?
Isn't this a default address selected from those assigned to Microsoft for
use in this particular situation?

Inability to find a DHCP server can come from either of several problems.
# Lack of connectivity.
# Connectivity, but no DHCP server.
# Connectivity, but the DHCP server is busy or not working.
<http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/07/limited-or-no-connectivity.html>
http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...nectivity.html

The 169.254.x.x is an APIPA address, assigned by Windows when it doesn't get a
return from a DHCP request.

The setting "DHCP" means the DHCP client is on. The Network Setup Wizard will
take care of that.

Is 81m111ad the "host computer"? Your terminology is a bit vague. Let's start
by having you run the Network Setup Wizard on both computers. When you run it on
81m111ad (assuming that's the "host computer"), select
This computer connects directly to the Internet. The other computers on my
network connect to the Internet through this computer.

http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...s.html#ICSHost
When you run it on ThuyTran, select
This computer connects to the Internet through another computer on my network or
through a residential gateway.

http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...html#NATClient

Then rerun "ipconfig /all" on both, and post updated. And please learn how to
copy and paste.

Chuck, I have still been unable to get the other 'ipconfig /all' yet, but
did try to run the network setup wizard, but this host computer just would
not install it, just kept saying it would take time to transfer with the one
computer icon going towards the other one, gave it 20 mins, nothing
happened, infact the only way to stop it was to do Ctrl+Alt+delete, as the
cancel was blanked out as well as OK. Plus this computer would not shut
down correctly, as I had to disable the Firewall, I'd recently added, as
it was causing problems on the internet only on the administrator account,
gets to 'Windows is shutting down' but freezes here, won't shut down, have
to press the re-set button, which then couldn't complete the disable of the
Firewall on Msconfig. However tried again and it worked, but still had to
shut down with the reset button. Any idea on this, I will enter this
problem in the relevant section, incase you do not want to sort this out for
me. So as I said I have not run the setup wizard on any again. Gave up on
it last night. Just wanted to keep you informed of my lack of progress.
Sorry. I do know how to copy & paste thanks. Heather
