Title: networking problem
Post by: Liquid Meat on February 23, 2005, 02:48:15 PM

I am trying to help a friend set up her network at home. She has a Dell with Proset for wireless. I can get proset to see the network and connect, but XP can't get an ip address.

Additionally, she can't connect via the wired connecction either.

Any ideas? This thing is making me crazy!

Is the NIC / Wireless card set in Network Settings for DHCP?

Start > Run > Command: C:\>_

"ipconfig /all"

Copy & paste what appears.

"ipconfig /release"
"ipconfig /renew"

Copy & Paste what "/renew" gives ya..

The renew gives me an error that the media is disconected. I think that is the problem.

Ok I got it. Somehow, the DCHP service got turned off. Turned it on and it worked like a champ.  ???
