We have 2 pc`s trying to connect to the internet. We are using a netgear
router.

However, one of the pcs does not connect to the network at all, we have
tried wireless and an ethernet cable. Just kees saying "aquiring network
address" then "little or no connectivity" and it wont connect. All the
hardware is fine and it works on the other computer.

DCHP is enabled, ive checked all settings, and we cant even ping the router,
does anyone know whats wrong? Ive even disabled all firewalls but still no
joy.
 
Tried all that pal, and still does not work. The only thing I can think is
all the antivirus and firewalls on the computer, there must be 5 anti spyware
programs and a couple of firewalls, ive tried disabling them, but could this
be causing the problem? Should I try un-installing them all?

Its my girlfriends dads computer and he likes all them type of programs on
there for security!!
 
Hi
In General, you can debug the Network Settings of a computer by following these steps.
Step One. Check the Network parameters in the Computer's Device Manager. Make sure that
the Network Card drivers are installed correctly; i.e. there is No IRQ conflict, and No
Ghost installation. http://www.ezlan.net/faq#ghost
Step Two. Verify Basic network setting in the OS:

looks good but functionally it does not work.
Step Three. Check (and repair if necessary) the Socket Layers, Winsock, and or refresh
the TCP/IP Stack. http://www.ezlan.net/clean#refreshnet
