Bad IP address

[Guest]

This problem started all of a sudden on the 20th, I would be playing a game
on the internet and all of a sudden I'd get an R0 (Recieving: 0) signal
meaning I was not getting any information back from the main servers. I
called the company that provides my cable access and they said it was prolly
something on my computer. After wiping the ENTIRE drive and restoring the
factory settings the problem still exsists. so I ran a network diagnostics
check and found this
- IPAddress = 70.37.172.101 (FAILED)
Pinging 70.37.172.101 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Ping statistics for 70.37.172.101:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss)
I'm assuming that this is the cause of my problems, the question I have is
how do I go about getting a new IP?

I doubt that the ping failure is related to the game problem, and I
don't think that getting a new IP address would make any difference.
I think that something else is causing the problem, but I don't have
enough information to say what.

That IP address belongs to Adelphia. If you're an Adelphia
subscriber, they might have assigned it to you.

In a typical home setup with a broadband router, the router's WAN
(Internet) interface gets the IP address, and you can configure the
router to respond or not to respond to ping requests.

With no broadband router, the computer's LAN connection gets the IP
address, and you can configure the computer's firewall to respond or
not to respond to ping requests.

ok I've talked to the company that owns the network (not adelphia, they got
replaced by Time warner cable) and apparently my system uses a DHCP system
which from what they told me means that I have a changing IP adress. I tried
running the network diagnostics system with both the windows firewall and
norton firewall disabled. the IP passed, however despite this the game still
continues to get R0, I'm just hoping that whatevers going can be easily fixed
cause I'm getting tired of all this, (talk about user unfriendly)

ok here's what the self diagnostics reported immediatly (sp?) following my
disconnect from the game
