Well first you need admin rights to change those settings. From
the control panel select Network connections, right click on your
connection and select properties. Double click on Internet
Protocol(tcp/ip) you may have to scroll to see it. There you go.

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 been trying all morning and have tried many different IP
addresses with the same negative results. I have tried rebooting
router and modem. I have still come up with nothing new. It is like
my IP has been hijacked. I have tried deleting temp files and ran
virus and malware/adware/spyware applications and still a big NOT.
The only thing I can think of next would be to somehow disable
onboard NIC and install a PCI card if I thought this would work. Do
you have any thoughts on this idea? Is it possible to disable NIC in
BIOS?


Thinking more about your prob.

Have you tried to release the NIC's ip address? Try this at a cmd
prompt:

ipconfig /release

and then reboot your computer. Upon reboot, your router should assign
a new ip address to your NIC.

Also, can you login to your router from the affected computer? If
not, have you concerned the possibility the cable is bad? You can
borrow a cable from another box and see if that makes any difference.

Sorry, not knowing exactly what you've tried so far to troubleshoot
this problem, leaves me sort of grasping at possible straws.

Don't apologize, please. I am very grateful that you are working with me. So
many have left this and other posts on other groups as I feel they have
given up. I can Log on to router and all seems well. I have not tried
another cable as I do have connectivity every time I leave the settings as
they are now and am posting from that System now. I am still concerned
about the inability to see a screen when type ipconfig /all but this
happens on both Systems. I liked it when things were the way they were with
Win98. Seemed much easier that way. I have typed ipconfig /release but this
did not change anything. I guess I will be adding another NIC. Probably the
first thing in the AM tomorrow. Really getting tired of this problem hanging
in. I did try to update the NIC driver but it did not work for some reason.
I will try that again just for the fun of it.
