Cbale Internet problem
I have recently upgraded from ADSL to Cable internet.
While a friend of mine has had no trouble getting his computer to access the internet, mine is refusing to recognise the new connection. We are both networked to Cable via an Ethernet switch, which in turn feeds the data to our computers via Ethernet cards built into the motherboard. I have swapped my Computer with his to make sure it was not a cabling/network problem, but it still wont connect. Is there something obvious I am missing? I have fiddled with all the settings on the Ethernet card on my machine but seem to be getting nowhere. One thing I have noticed is the following differences in the status/support information of our network cards. His states the TCP/IP protocol is: Address Type: Assigned by DCHP and mine states: Address Type: Automatic Private Address Is there something I have to do to change mine to DCHP? How do I do this? We both run Windows XP Pro SP1, with all windows updates done. Our hardware is almost identical, and should be more than adequate to cope with a cable connection. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated Thanks in advance. |
