Ok, Brand new Dell Dimension E510 and Verizion DSL.
Any time i restart my computer, I cannot connect to the internet. In order
to enable this connection, i must go into my control panel, network
connections. There are three types of connections here (all set up by Dell),
Broadband, Dial-up, and LAN or High Speed Internet. On reboot, LAN or High
Speed internet is automatically set up, however it cannot get a network
adress. When i try to repair this connection, it says it cannot and that i
need to A. Renew my IP adress or B. Register DNS. When I do either of these
options via the ipconfig tool (type 'ipconfig /renew' or 'ipconfig
/registerdns' via the command prompt), the output is:
An error occured when renewing interface Local Area Connection : The RPC
server is unavailable. (this feedback occurs after typing /renew)
OR
Registration of DNS records failed : The RPC server is unavailable. (this
feedback occurs after typing /registerdns)
In order to temporarily get my internet working, i can enable the broadband
connection. This will work, but i have to do this every time i restart my
computer.
I gave Verizion a call and apparently it is the fault of dell. so, i called
dell, and they want a hundred bucks to fix it, despite the fact its a brand
new computer. so, you guys usually get the answer quickly, and definately
cheaper.
Thanks,
Collin
