Morning Steve,
after giving up on it for a week, here i am again, sorry steve,
re: Host: don't assign any TCP/IP properties manually! If you have,
un-share and re-share the Internet connection.
done
That will automatically assign these values to the LAC that connects to thedone, this is the lac that connects the computer's not the properties of
client:
IP Address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: none
DNS Server: none
lac4 which is the modem.Also in Advanced>WINS properties should i enable
"enable netbios over tcp/ip"?Its on default. Also I have the following in the
lac properties: File and printer sharing for MS Networks and internet
protocol(tcp/ip) ticked.
Client: If you assign TCP/IP properties manually, make all of these
settings:
IP Address: 192.168.0.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS Server: 192.168.0.1 or your ISP's DNS server
done except dns, as my isp is configured to use DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration
Protocol) so i do not need to set a specific DNS address - only set my
computer to automatically obtain the DNS settings.
"Please note that your internet connection will not function correctly if
you do not do this." I was told.
After doing the above changes to the client, the network icon changes and
says something like connecting or binding etc.
But nothing.
No request is even sent when i look at the two little screens.
Could it be anything basic?I'll try using the cable on diff. machine.
Thanks.
Your ISP's advice doesn't apply to the ICS client computer. The
client gets its Internet access from the host computer, not from the
ISP.
It's best to configure the client to obtain an IP address and DNS
server automatically. The host computer will provide the values.
If you configure the client manually, you MUST make all of these
settings:
IP Address: 192.168.0.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS Server: 192.168.0.1 or your ISP's DNS server
The cable is good steve i connected it with a notebook.
So here are the new messages:
status: limited or no connnectivity
you might not be able to access the internet or some resources.This problem
occured because the network did not assign a network address to the computer.
repair: windows could not finish rewpairing beacause following action cannot
be completed:"renewing your ip address".
ip address: 192.254.21.6
sm: 255.255.0.0
dg:blank
dns:blank
winns:blank
Using the details you gave:
"the ip address you have entered for this network adapter is allready
assigned to another adapter 'realtek...''realtek ethernet adapter' is hidden
from the network connections folder because it is not physically in the
computer. if the same address is assigned to both adapters and they both
become active, only one of them will use this address. This may result in
incorrect system configuration.
the adapter is there, i uninstalled and installed it again, the computer
found it.
should i uninstall norton or sp2?
Thanks and sorry for the hassle.

I assume that you're referring to the client computer, and that its IP
address begins with 169.254, not with 192.254.
From the duplicate IP address message, I suspect that the Realtek
Ethernet adapter was once removed from the computer or moved from one
slot to another without telling Device Manager to un-install it first.
Follow the instructions in the "Workaround" section of this Microsoft
Knowledge Base article. At step 4, un-install all entries under
"Network Adapters".
Device Manager does not display devices that are not connected to the
Windows XP-based computer
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315539/en-us
Then, reboot the computer and so that it re-installs the Realtek
Ethernet adapter:
Here you go mate: I noticed realtek was there about 4 times, so i uninstalled
them, the following i couldn't:
Failed to uninstall the device. The device may be required to boot up the
computer.
Network Adapters:
WAN Miniport (PPTP)
WAN Miniport (PPPOE)
WAN Miniport (L2TP)
WAN Miniport (IP) - Packet Scheduler Miniport
WAN Miniport (IP)
Realtek
RAS Async Adapter
MS TV/Video Connection
MS Tun Mimiport Adapter #2
MS Tun Mimiport Adapter
Direct Parallel
After Restart:
Connection status: Limited or no Connectivity
When i click on Details on the LAC13 status:
ip: 169.254.21.6
s/m:255.255.0.0
d/g:blank
dns:blank
wins:blank
after manually entering the values you gave me in the properties tab of the
same connection:
It shows the ip/s.m and d/g you mentioned. Status: connected. But still no
response sent or received.
Will i be able to uninstall the other entries in safe mode?Is the NIC still
good?
Thanks for the continued support.
Regards,
M.
The other entries are OK, and you shouldn't delete them. Deleting the
multiple Realtek entries was all that was needed.
I'm sorry, but I don't know what the problem is now. Perhaps the
Realtek Ethernet adapter is defective and needs to be replaced.
