Re: Help Please!!! How do I get win2k connected to the internet?

Dear Mr Pegasus,

*) Basically, you are right, but I can only say that I can test in a
REPRODUCIBLE way the following :
- try to make a connection with router (192.168.0.1) --> page cannot be
displayed
- clear history ; restart IE
- try to make a connection with router (192.168.0.1) --> succes !

*) I've found that this is problem specific for Nexland routers.
An old internet page of Nexland support says :
"
Changes were made to Internet Explorer in both the Windows XP SP1 update,
and Internet Explorer 6 SP1 update. These changes have cause problems with
browsing into the Nexland routers interface screens. An update is available
to resolve this issue, please follow the test below to ensure that the
updated firmware will work for you. 1. Open Internet Explorer. 2. Click
Tools/Internet Options from the top toolbar. 3. On the General tab, under
Temporary Internet Files, click the button labeled "Delete Files". 4.
Click the box for "Delete all offline content" and click OK. 5. Once that
is finished, click the "Clear History" button under the History section. A
message will display asking "Are you sure you want Windows to delete your
history of visited sites?" Click YES. 6. Close Internet Explorer. 7.
Re-open Internet Explorer and attempt to browse into the router. You should
be able to access the Nexland Main Setup Page. (( If the above test was
successful, please download the updated firmware to resolve this issue at
ftp.nexland.com/pub/firmware/v1rel5u. )) "



So the problem is not general at all



Best regards,

R-ton

Mhm, no. Erasing temporary Internet files has nothing
to do with establishing a connection with your router.
Pure coincidence.

Hello
maybe this can help :

Doesn't your manual say something like
that you have to make contact with your adaptor
(for example by typing 192.168.1.1 in the adress area)
?
IF so, I had a problem with my Win2000 that I could not get contact
unless
after erasing ALL history files in my Internet Explorer, exiting from
it,
and restarting IE. After erasing the history , contact with my router
was
possible and the problem was solved.

I hope this helps.

Unfortunately you typed

ipconfig {Enter} instead of
ipconfig /all {Enter}

This means that some essential information is missing.
Back to the drawing board . . .

Your reply tells us that the network cable is connected to
something but that it failed to get an IP address from the
DHCP server (i.e. the server that hands out IP addresses).
This is usually your router.

This can happen under several conditions:
- The router is defective.
- It is not configured to act as a DHCP server.
- A firewall blocks your packets.

You could force a fixed address. In order to do this
successfully, you need to tell us what the output
from

ipconfig /all

on your other machine is.

How about copying the file to a floppy disk or a flash
disk (memory stick)?

Alternatively: Run the command on your office PC, print
it out, them mark it up at home. Later you can mark up
the original, which will save you a lot of typing!

Thanks again.

What Danny alluded to was the minimum collection of
settings you need to post. Here is how to do it:
- Click Start / Run / cmd {OK}
- Type these commands:
ipconfig > c:\test.txt {Enter}
notepad c:\test.txt {Enter}
- Copy & paste the text into your reply

You did not mention DNS setting etc..

Those need to be gotten from your ISP.
