Hi! I'm able to connect wirelessly to internet the through DSL modem just
fine on my laptop - so I know the DSL modem is working ok. Desktop that
connects to DSL modem via ethernet cable has lost its connection - it had
been working just fine (have not changed any physical connection since
network connection dropped).
Light just blinks where plugged into modem. Happened once before and it was
some controller or other than needed to be reinstalled, however, nothing on
the device manager is currently showing red.
Have tried deleting and reinstalling for the network connections on desktop
to no avail. (compaq presario sr1475cl running xp sp2) I've tried swapping
out ethernet cables and tried different connections sites on the modem (it
has E1 - E4). I've also already reset the modem, rebooted numerous times with
and without the cables plugged in and tried a slower modem port speed to no
avail. I don't think it is a HW problem external to the computer. I should
add that with some things I try, I get a message about TCP/IP not being
enabled (but when I check the network connection it shows that it is checked
for that connection) - so thinking problem has to do with whatever controller
manages the ethernet connection or internal modem or some TCP/IP issue. The
ipconfig says:
Node type: Hybrid
IP Routing Enabled: No
Wins proxy Enabled: No
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 3:
Media State: Media Disconnected
Description: SiS 900-based PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter
Physical Address: 00-11-D8-C2-A0-F8
Tunnel Adapter Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface
Physical Address: FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF
Dhcp Enabled: No
IP Address: Fe80::ffff::ffff::fffd%4
Default Gateway:
Netbios over TCPIP: disabled
Thanks in advance!
