Re: Network help anyone?

Well first you need admin rights to change those settings. From the

Good luck.

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.
