Everything is still the same-this is the first chance I've
had today to sit down.....Is there anything else I can do?

Thank you so very much!!!!!! I hope I wasn't too taxing.

That is normal, Each LAC can have a taskbar icon that shows
both Inbounds/Outbound traffic. You might try a Ping again &
see if you can send/receive packets to 192.168.0.1. If you
double-click that taskbar icon it will expand to show sent &
received packets. I'll check back in the morning to see how
things are.

Hello,

Yes, Your Hub is at 192.168.0.3 which means your PC is
sending/receiving data from the hub. The next step is to see
if you can Ping a Internet Address. I use Dslreports.com.
Do the Start, Run, Command - Click in the Dos Prompt box
and type Ping dslreports.com

If the server responds than you are getting a connection from
the PC, through the hub/modem out to the Internet. If you get
a 100% packet loss then something is still not setup correctly.

Everything is still the same-this is the first chance I've
had today to sit down.....Is there anything else I can do?

Good afternoon!

Ping request could not fing host dslreports.com. Please
check the name and begin again.

 

[R. McCarty]

O.K. that means that you don't have any DNS server
access. It translates URL's to their true IP address. In
other words it converts cnn.com to 64.236.24.20.
The next thing is to check the "Hosts" file on your PC,
but before could you post back with your ISP name &
what type of modem (Motorola, etc) you have on your
home network.

DW6000
Direcway

I replied to this post because I was getting rejected when
I replied to the last. Even posted a new thread, but
thought I'd try this one more time.

 

[Linda]

Okay-I'll try posting here! (I will not be deterred until
I've exhausted eveery means at my disposal!)

DW6000- modem
Direcway -ISP

OK, Satellite service with Direcway. I think it may be time
to remove Local Area Connections and let XP recreate a
new one. We are going to have to edit the Registry. This is
Newsgroup Diagnosing-102/
Before we attempt that step - Remove the Ethernet cable
from the Hub port and plug it into a different port on either
side of where it is now. Make sure the RJ-Clip locks into
place. Then remove and re-insert the other end into the NIC
card. There should be small LED's on the faceplate of the
NIC that will illuminate when network traffic is detected.

Now - Registry Editing........................................
The Registry is collection of "Hives" or groups of files that
store settings/values and options for everything that runs on
XP. Registry editing is very much like juggling Chainsaws -
The hard part is stopping at the right time.
Click Start, Run (Type) Regedit
Click the Maximize button on the upper Right Corner to
enlarge the view. The Registry Editor is a split pane view
identical to Windows Explorer. You use the +/- indicators to
expand or collapse a specific Key. We need to navigate to
a destination key at
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Network]
Click the + symbol besides Network. Move down one
level and click the + besides the indented {. This is where
the LACs are stored.
Place your mouse pointer over that key and left click to Highlight
(Turns Blue). Go to the Text options at the top of Registry Editor
and click FILE.From the Context menu click EXPORT, In the file
name box Type LACs and then the SAVE button.
(This saves the original data, in case an error happens).
Each LAC ( I believe you are at Local Area Connection #2)
appear as a new + below the current location. You need to
Right Click each of the 3 [+] symbol lines one at a time and
from the context menu left click Delete.
This removes all Local Area Connections from your computer.
Now click File, Exit to close Registry Editor.

Reboot and the computer should re-establish a new LAC. It
should appear in Network Connections without a numeral added
to the name. By default a new LAC will use DHCP and auto
configure all the settings.

This is a marginally risky operation, so if you are hesitant or
reluctant - Don't feel compelled to try it. I tried to make the
steps as concise as possible. At this point I'm unable to come up
with any alternate solutions.

Before I go ahead with the registry, I switched the
cables. The task bar icon says there is no network
connection. Is that correct?


I'm having a terrible time getting the site to accept my
messages-some kind of error page-think I'd get used to
it...

 

[R. McCarty]

All four ports on the hub should be active. The current
Local Area Connection is not using automatic settings
from the HUB, but manual addressing. What you saw
is correct. Hopefully, removing & Re-detecting a new
Local Area Connection will get automatic settings from
the Hub once all existing LAC's are removed.

 

[Linda]

Well! I tried it all-to no avail. The only thing
different is on the properties page-the general tab.
Where it says: This connection uses the following items.
There used to be oodles of items-no there are none...

I greatly appraeciate you going the more than extra 20
miles!! Looks like I have to take it to the shop... And
all he'll do is reformat it!!!

Thank you!

 

[Linda]

I did everything as you said-this machine is too sick for
me...off to the pc doctor...Thank you so very much-it's
not been a loss-I've learned a great deal-I have a hub,
not a router-run-command and ping!!Regards-Linda
