Re: Event Error 32003 IPNATHLP & KB 293497

Good. Cloning a Mac address is when you teach the router that a new device is there, instead of what it is set to now. You had that already. (all network devices have a theoretically exclusive Mac address)
The ratings thing is just a way my ego keeps score.:) If you click my name in the top left corner of this reading pane, you get my stats. As for your IP, any web server you open a page on can get your IP if it wants it. (http://WhatIsMyIP.com) It's nothing to worry about. Your router firewall is practically bullet proof.
On to Devmgmt.msc (Dev. Manager). Anything NOT physically attached at the moment, will disappear from the list when you use 'action' menu, 'scan for hardware changes' If you see something after that, it's there somewhere.
Perhaps you mean in the "Network Connections" folder. If so, those will have a delete with a rightclick on the icon.

Hi Mark, Both Errors are GONE - Thx to you.
Rather than Resetting the Router I chose what I considered the simpler
method first,
ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew and it cleaned up the Errors.

I’ve Rebooted or Shutdown a nbr of times and the errors haven’t reappeared.
I read to type EXIT when leaving the Command Prompt Window? Do u
recommend doing so?

I was successful getting into the IP Acct?? using the same Router Address
and saw the 12 digit MAC Address but because I had no idea how to “Clone” I
left it alone.
I didn’t feel it was necessary anyway as I knew by that time that both
Errors had disappeared.

What DO u mean by the term: Clone the MAC Address? What would I have done
with that nbr?
I might as well ask now vs going through the rest of my life aware there’s
only ONE THING about Networking that I don’t know and had passed on the
opportunity to learn. LOL

Ya did REAL GOOD Mark! Few would have responded to such a Novice. As to
Rating - is it advisable as my IP Address will be exposed on the Web? Pls
Advise.

I have another problem. I need a way to get rid of the entries in Device
Mgr of the previous Owner’s D-Link Network Connector. Hope you see the Post
in a day or so.
Thx so much for your efforts.

Basically, you have found your problem. Routers have a 'default password'.
The one I see most often is 'admin' for user name, and 'admin' for password.
(It varies by router) Whatever it is for your router, their help site is
bound to have it as a frequently asked question.
Also, ALL routers have a Reset switch, to blank any settings like a special
password, and return to default. (sometimes a 'pinhole' you put a paperclip
wire into and hold for reset.)
Your previous user has set some things you don't need. Going into that setup
at the router (gateway) address should walk you through your Internet
connection setup, no problem.
A few small items left. (Don't give up on me, now :)
When you reset to defaults, the router could well have a new 'gateway
address' for it's config stuff. You get whatever the gateway is from the
command: ipconfig. After reset, use it, as before (e.g. http://192.168.0.1 )
The dhcp error you report is expected behavior. When the router fails to
assign a local 192.... address, you get that 169.... address by default.
This will change when you run the router setup for your LAN (your
'workgroup').
OK, last technical bit to assimilate. Your SSID. You need not use one,
unless you are going to have wireless connections, and then it's only a
security safety thing.
You probably won't need to 'release' and 'renew', since the router will do
that.
