So I'll try and make this as detailed as possible. My roommates and I are
living in an apartment. All three of us have computers. 1 Dell Laptop, 2 PC
Desktop, and 1 Mac Book Laptop. We apparently have good connection to our
apartment, but only one computer has access to the internet. The others have
limited or no connectivity.
We originally had wireless when the problem first started (its been a month)
and we figured that the cables were just splitting off too much that we
weren't getting enough of a signal. We were using a linksys wireless adapter.
We had our cable company come out and check our connectivity and said it was
good. They even got two of our computers, but not the PC to work, on wireless.
But somehow sporatically, all three computers would work. Sometimes three
days in a row, then 4 days not, etc. you get the idea. So we figured we just
did not have a strong enough connection and/or someone else was ripping off
our internet (which we tried several times to secure). And when we did secure
it we had the same problem.
Now we have been trying ethernet cables to a hub that we had used before
living in this apartment. Now, only 1 computer (the Dell Laptop) has internet
access and the other to have limited or no connectivity. We have been to
several sites looking for solutions, and we tried the help page in a similar
thread. We took down the firewalls, manually and physicall switched cables
several times, and even switched rooms with the modem. When trying to connect
to the internet from the desktop, the message "could not connect to internet
or some resources. This occured because the network did not assign a network
address to the computer". But we have tried several times to create a network
to no avail.
Somehow, and we don't know how, we sometimes all get internet, like i said
before, but it's very sporadic and not reliable. Our cable company said we
have a good reading, but our connection status usually reads low to very low..
. I personally have been trying to fix this/get someone to help for a month.
It is very stressful and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
