Alternate Configuration
When I use the "Alternate Configuration" in TCP/IP
settings. It doesn't work. I have 2 identical Laptops, it works on one but not the other. I've installed all the latest updates. It connects to the network but you can not browse the web. Please help. Thanks Gene Cox |

Therefore you normally shouldn't have any IP address and no DNS settings in the primary configuration. Hans-Georg -- No mail, please. |

Alternate Configuration
Yes i know. I should have put that in. I'm using the
alternet config for a specific IP address. The main config is setup for DHCP. One works the other doesn't.

Gene, I understand that the alternate configuration with a fixed IP address does not work on one of your two XP laptops, when connected to a LAN without DHCP. Which IP addresses do you use? Are you perfectly sure there is no DHCP, i.e. no Internet Connection Sharing either? You could open a command line window, enter the command: ipconfig /all and copy and post the output here. Or enter the command: ipconfig /all C:\ipconfig.txt Or enter any other path and file name to save the result on disk, then post it here. Hans-Georg -- No mail, please. |
