Network help anyone?

[Johnathan]

I have tried network groups with no response and Google with no results with
this problem that I have had for months now so I hope someone can help me
here. I have not been able to connect one computer with other computers on
home LAN like before. I have tried running network wizard but it errors out.
I can't figure out how to change settings like in Win98 and have noticed
differences in properties of Local Area Connections 3. All systems are on
same Subnet Mask and workgroups are identical.

I hope this is making sence to someone as it is not to me.

System that can not connect:

Network Connection Details Local Area Connection 3

IP Address 192.168.15.2
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.15.1
DHCP Server 192.168.15.1
DNS Server 192.168.15.1
WINS Sever [nothing showing]


System that can connect and Laptop: (Local Area Connection 4 and Local
Area Connection)

IP Address 192.168.1.100
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.1.1
DHCP Server 192.168.1.1
DNS Server 68.87.71.266
68.87.73.242
WINS [nothing showing]


The System that can not connect needs to be changed to the same as the other
Systems but I can not figure out how to do this if I am correct. All
Advanced TCP/IP settings are the same. Local Area Connections on System that
can not connect show activity

Any help would be appreciated.

Jim.

What is the configuration of your Lan , meaning how many machines you have
on the home network and how are you connected to your ISP , are you running
a proxy server.

Well first you need admin rights to change those settings. From the control
panel select Network connections, right click on your connection and select
properties. Double click on Internet Protocol(tcp/ip) you may have to scroll
to see it. There you go.

Good luck.

All Advanced TCP/IP settings are the same. Local Area Connections on
System that can not connect show activity

Go to the Network applet in Control Panel. Opening it should show you
the Local Area Connection icon. Right-click on it and then left-click
on Properties.

Find the TCP/IP setting in the "windows" and double-click it to get its
properties. Either set it to get its IP address from DHCP or manually
assign it an IP address, etc. that is 192.168.1.[some-number]. Use the
192.168.1.1 as Default Gateway.

I am still not having good luck here. If I change settings to what seem to
be correct as suggested the System will not even connect to Internet and
another will not connect to network. Only when I change the setting back
will I get connectivity to Internet and other system will then connect back
to network. Both System and Laptop connect and show the two DNS Servers as
being the same. If I try to get all Systems at the same settings is when I
have the problems. I am still very confused even as I type. I have tried to
use System Restore on this one system that will not connect to network but
that is now not working. I can not remove network card as it is onboard. I
tried updating driver but that didn't seem to help either. I don't have a
basic understanding of network functions so all I can do is try changing
settings again and again tying to get them right. No joy.

Either use 192.168.001.xxx for all computers,

Right off the top, "the system 3" and "system 4" are not
even on the same network. The one network is 192.168.1.x
(with the 255.255.255.0 subnet mask) while the other
network is 192.168.15.x (also using 255.255.255.0 as
a subnet mask). Those are two different networks.
System 3 needs to be on the 192.168.1.x network
somewhere for them to be able to talk ("x" should
be somewhere between 2 and 253 and not the same
as any other machine on the network for them to
be considered part of the same network)

OK. Now I understand. I was confused by the two other systems that connect
that have the two sets of DNS Servers. I think this might have happened when
I installed a Lynksys Wireless-G Print Server that only works when it is
connected to one System with a cable and not wireless any longer. I have
tried to reconfigure the System that has IP of 192.168.15.2. I remember from
Win98 I could type IPCONFIG and view settings but not so in XP Pro. The
screen shows and vanishes in a flash. When I make changes to IP to
192.168.1.110 I can open Netmeeting and see that it reflects the new IP but
I can no longer connect to the Internet or Outlook Express. I am using a
Lynksys Wireless-G router that has been working fine for a few years now
since it was new. I have tried everything I can think of many times and have
not been successful. I can no longer use System Restore but this might be a
different problem but I am not sure. I thought of uninstalling Wireless
Print Server and running Network Wizard but I am at a loss how to uninstall
and reinstall. The NIC is onboard.

Thank you if you can add anything I might have missed that needs to be
done.

Unless specifically changed - ALL routers (by vendor) use a generic
User/Password combination. Check the manual or visit the vendor
website to obtain your unit's default values. You can always do a
factory reset - but that removes all custom settings.

I do remember changing the password at one time but have since forgotten it.
I have no idea why I ever thought I would need to change it to start with. I
am pretty sure there were no settings I needed to change other that port
forwarding. I am trying to avoid resetting it if I can fix this problem
otherwise.

Always a good idea to change the default passwords on
router type things ... especially if wireless is involved - notice
that funny car parked out front with the Pringles can
pointed at your house ?? Nothing quite like
"drive by networking" - you might look in the router manual
and see if you were clever enough to write the password
there. First rule of passwords -- NEVER change them
before the weekend, vacation or whatever - no matter
how "easy" it seems at the time, all clues will be lost when
you come back ;-) If you can't find the router manual,
you can go to the mfgrs website usually and download
a copy of the manual. Might even be a good time to
update it to the latest firmware .... well, maybe after
you get the rest of this working. Bottom line, unless
they are going thru a router, all devices on your local
network MUST be on the same subnet or they will NOT
talk to each other. Trick to networking is to check out
one portion at a time and get it working then move on
to the next - trying to fix everything at once won't usually
work. In this case, your network address is the 192.168.2.0
and the host id's on that address will be 0-255 ... sort of.
The "0" is actually reserved as the network address, 255
is the broadcast address and in your case, 1 is the host
address of the LAN side of the router so 2-253 is the
ones your other devices should use.

Always a good idea to change the default passwords on
router type things ... especially if wireless is involved - notice
that funny car parked out front with the Pringles can
pointed at your house ?? Nothing quite like
"drive by networking" - you might look in the router manual
and see if you were clever enough to write the password
there. First rule of passwords -- NEVER change them
before the weekend, vacation or whatever - no matter

I have only one mission for now and that is to get the one System back on
the same network by changing the IP which is still something that I am
unable to do and have it work. If I am not able to log on by resetting the
router will this enable me to effect the changes I need?

I have forgotten exactly how it was setup, but in XP with
admin priv. you can go to
start -> control panel -> network connections-> local area connection
then click on the general tab (probably there already), click on the
"internet protocol (TCP/IP)" line and select the "Properties"
button. (There are also about 6 other ways to get there).
If it is set to "Obtain an IP address automatically",
something in your network is handing out that address
via DHCP. If it is set to "Use the following IP address",
you can set the IP address to what you want it to
be for your network and it should set to that IP
address.

Ok, I finally managed to get onto Router as I remembered the PW. I have no
idea what I am looking for and don't really believe the changes that took
place have anything to do with the router anyway. I have tried configuring
new IP to respond to the other Systems but this only blocked access to
internet. I just can not get this computer off that IP 192.168.15.x and back
to 192.168.1.x no matter what I do. I am missing something here for sure.

Thanks Sharon.
I am logged on with Admin rights. I have changed user configuration to
IP
192.168.1.101 and default gateway to 192.168.1.1 but nothing has helped.

Well maybe DHCP has already assigned 192.168.1.101 to another computer on
your network?

You can usually define the range of DHCP addresses available within your
router's configuration, or you can set a particular computer to have a
static ip address. Of course, that static ip address has to be a new one
not already assigned to some other computer on your network. Why not try
assigning a static ip address of say: 192.168.1.200 to your box?

Whatever static ip address you choose to use, it should be outside the range
of ip address automatically assigned by your router with DHCP. So you'll
want to check your router's configuration on this score.

If you still don't have success trying a static ip address what I'd do is:

- set your box back to obtain ip address automatically
- reboot your router so it clears its DHCP cache and reassigns to all boxes.
(give all this a chance to happen)

I have tried network groups with no response and Google with no
results with this problem that I have had for months now so I hope
someone can help me here. I have not been able to connect one
computer with other computers on home LAN like before. I have tried
running network wizard but it errors out. I can't figure out how to
change settings like in Win98 and have noticed differences in
properties of Local Area Connections 3. All systems are on same Subnet
Mask and workgroups are identical. I hope this is making sence to
someone as it is not to me.

System that can not connect:

Network Connection Details Local Area Connection 3

IP Address 192.168.15.2
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.15.1
DHCP Server 192.168.15.1
DNS Server 192.168.15.1
WINS Sever [nothing showing]


System that can connect and Laptop: (Local Area Connection 4 and
Local Area Connection)

IP Address 192.168.1.100
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.1.1
DHCP Server 192.168.1.1
DNS Server 68.87.71.266
68.87.73.242
WINS [nothing showing]


The System that can not connect needs to be changed to the same as
the other Systems but I can not figure out how to do this if I am
correct. All Advanced TCP/IP settings are the same. Local Area
Connections on System that can not connect show activity

Any help would be appreciated.

I have been trying all morning and have tried many different IP addresses
with the same negative results. I have tried rebooting router and modem. I
have still come up with nothing new. It is like my IP has been hijacked. I
have tried deleting temp files and ran virus and malware/adware/spyware
applications and still a big NOT. The only thing I can think of next would
be to somehow disable onboard NIC and install a PCI card if I thought this
would work. Do you have any thoughts on this idea? Is it possible to disable
NIC in BIOS?

Maybe your BIOS has that function? Not sure. But you can certainly disable
the onboard NIC within Windoze.

I wonder if you have a driver problem? Have you tried installing the latest
driver for your onboard NIC? That should be available from your motherboard
distributor.
