My home network had been working fine...then a couple days ago...one
computer on the wireless stopped accessing the internet...the computer
icon
in system tray said good connection...but there were ) & ) packets sent
and/or received

After playing with it a day or so...I removed the wireless
adapter...installed a new LAN card...added the drivers
and connected the problem computer directly to the router. I am still
getting 0 & 0 packets sent/received !

In the problem PC...I have noticed that in Administration
Tools/Services..the DHCP Client status is "Starting" ? All other
services
are either not started or started...the DHCP service is the only one
with
a
status of starting ? (after twenty or so minutes)

Is this why I can not get any signal or sent/received packets from the
network connection. All other desktops and/or laptops on the router are
functioning well . If I disconnect the problem PC from the router...I
immediately get a cable disconnect error in the system tray icon...when
reconnected...I get a connection and all ok...except no sent/receives

Thanks, Tim R



A good starting point would be to report some hard facts, e.g.
- Did both PCs fail or just one?
- Do you know if your network cable is functioning?
- What are the IP addresses you use? Type ipconfig.exe /all
at the command prompt to find out. You need to report it
for both PCs!
- Did you reset the router?


The problem started only on the one PC
The cable is new and works fine on two tested laptops
The IP address of the working cabled PC is 192.168.0.2
The IP address on the troubled PC reported 0.0.0.0 yesterday...but today
both cabled PC's open and then close the dos window faster than I can read
it ?
Both the router and the cable modem have been reset many times...all PC's
have Internet access except the one
All cable outlets on the router are working...have tried all four jacks with
the working PC's and no problems
My ISP (Cox) will not help much because they no longer support W2000
