Problem: Local Area Connection
My connection to the Net is through ADSL connection. Physical
connection is telephone line connected to ADSL modem (RJ11), and connection between the modem and the PC is via a RJ45 equipped network cable. Everything seems to be working (and I am online) but that "Local Area Connection" thingy at program tray keeps on like "pacing" ... that "yellow dot" keeps on going left, going right, going left, going left, and so on, and so on ... When I clicked on the "status" thing of the Local Area Connection icon, a new "window" appears. When I clicked on the "Support" tab, I got the following: Connection status Address Type: Invalid IP Address IP Address: 0.0.0.0 Subnet Mask: 0.0.0.0 Default Gateway Details Physical Address: 00-E0-4D-32-CE-8F IP Address: 0.0.0.0 Subnet Mask: 0.0.0.0 Default Gateway: DNS Server: WINS Server: Things were okay yesterday, only today that "yellow dot" keeps on pacing left, right, left, right, and the "IP Address" turns into 0.0.0.0 What has happened? How to remedy this problem? Please help !! Thank you all !!

This is usually caused by a communication failure between the wireless card and the access point. Often that means the security settings do not match between the client and the access point. Did you recently change any element of your network? Did you load a new driver or firmware? Perhaps installed a new wireless card? Maybe you changed the security settings on your wireless access point? Are you sure your ISP server is working correctly?

Problem: Local Area Connection
I've seen it w/ many modems. Many ADSL modems don't have DHCP feature or
have it disabled. When you connect a network cable to your modem and the computer, your PC will ask the modem for an internal IP address. As the modem doesn't have the DHCP feature, your PC won't get an IP and will keep looking until a timeout. As far as I go, it shouldn't really concern you. -- - - - - - - - - - - Jonathan M.

Where does the OP say that he has a wireless access point? He mentions an ADSL modem and an RJ45 network cable connecting it to his computer and a Local Area Connection icon. You might as well tell him to check the rubber feet on the bottom of his PC case!

Right-click My Computer, click Manage, expand Services and Applications under Computer Management, and then click Services. 2. Verify that the DHCP Client service is running. 3. If the service is stopped, right-click DHCP Client, and then click Start. Note If the service does not start, a dependency group or service may also be stopped. Or, you can do it the registry way 1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK. 2. Locate the following registry key. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet001\Services\D HCP 3. In the right pane, double click DependOnService, and then make sure that the Data Value value is Tcpip Afd NetBT. 4. Restart your computer, and then verify that the DHCP service is started as described in Method 3.
