Re: No internet access

Hello Martin,

Here are a few commands and there corresponding outputs:

1) telnet www.yahoo.com 80
Connectin to www.yahoo.com....Could not open a connection to host on port
80....Connect Failed

2) ipconfig
Windows 2000 IP Configuration

3) tracert -h 100
Tracing route to 0.0.0.100 over a maximum of 100 hops
1 destination host unreacheable
Trace complete

Under the Device Manager, for my Network Adapters I have the following:

Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethenet NIC

With a device status saying that 'This device is working properly'. Under
the Control Panel under the "Internet Protocol TCP/IP" for the Realtek
adapter, when I press the Properties button, I get the following message:

In order to configure TCP/IP, you must install and enable a network adapter
card.

1) I don't understand this message, my Realtek adapter is enabled. Why am I
getting this message ?
