Re: Not able to connect to internet

Since you appear to be able to reach your cable modem (or router, whichever
gives out the IP address), the problem is not in your network card or
drivers. I'd suggest you cycle power on your cable modem and/or router and
see if that helps.

I have an AMD-Athlon x86-64 Desktop with Windows Media Center 2005. Two
days
back, all of a sudden I was not able to connect to the internet even
though
ipconfig gives out an ipaddress. I also have a laptop which was connected
to
the same cable modem and the internet is working fine in that.

tracert with site name times out all the time, but with ipaddress goes 2
hops and then times out. I am just confused as to what is the problem
here.
Do I have to update my network driver and if so how do I get it?

Any help is geatly appreciated.
Thanks.
