Trouble with Internet connection_part (3)?

Question

hello again contributors.. Thanks.

to Billy rowe: Nope, got only one computer. No routers in my house. I got IP conflict.I thought i am fooled by my ISP by making my computer a member of a network of computers routed (using a router)..What do you think?

To Browni: i have done that already (release/renew). No avail giving me IP address. (the one i have mentioned before).

to all: please give me some insights. Thanks a lot pipz!!

Answer 1

What is your modem type? And serial?

If you know how to reset your modem, do it. It will give you a new IP address. Go to 192.168.254.254 or 192.168.0.0 or 192.168.1.1.

Then, find an option saying reset. That will reset your modem, and giving you a NEW fresh IP address. Never used by anyone. Totally NEW!

EDIT:

Mike, you missed part two too!

EDIT:

Yo man, the restore option may help, but it might not be her computer. It can be her modem. You got to be a pro, not a noob.

EDIT:

Helper, what I ever do to you? :( Don't be a cyber bully on Yahoo! Answers. Your violating its terms.. Huh? You must have just clicked accept upon sign up. No no. Better watch it. As you described, you got deleted off of Yahoo Answers for directing to warez. Internet tough guy? Good luck Bro.

EDIT: I'm not trying to put up a fight, I defend myself. That's all I'm saying. You don't even know me. If you would, I bet you wouldn't even want to put up a fight.Sorry for fighting. I apologize. Have a good day.

Sheryl, please restore your computer and give helper 10 points.

EDIT:

... I never said I was a hacker.. I did on the two other questions.. I'm not bragging or anything.

I can be a undercover police office waiting for some n00b to come and stand up and say, I hacked too! I download warez. You never know. Just forget it.

EDIT!!:

Thanks Mike! I know. Restoring is not a good idea. Only when your in desperate need. It could be a virus, that deleted your restore points. Then, when it asks for the restore point, and you can't find it, your screwed! Never restore. Not good for your computers health ;)

Alright, well this question is closed for me. So, if you need any help Sheryl, email me!

Answer 2

What's your ISP? Is it a broadband or a dial up?

Answer 3

Man people go off on tangents before doing the basics[just read your 1st two questions].

1-Have you just tried to do a system restore to a point before this was happening

2-Do you have your windows disk and if so have you tried to boot from that and run a system repair?

You shouldnt have to mess with your modem but if so there should be just a little pin hole at rear and you reset it that way but i would try my first two options before doing anything else with your net settings

And i would question the intelligence of anyone who goes around on public boards like this proclaiming there a hacker.....real hackers dont need to go around boasting to anyone who will listen..........And yes my answer score on here is low cause ive been kicked off yahoo answers over a hundred times for directing people to free movies,music progs etc.

yeah mr hacker it might not work but as a pc tech its the first thing you would expect even an amatuer to suggest in this situation.

not stressed mate just trying to help,dont see why you said you were a hacker though mate why tell people that?

Hopefully between the two of us this nice person might be getting somewhere i hope .

Every time you download or install a new game, application, or software update, you make changes to your computer. Sometimes that change may make your system unstable. Have you ever wanted to go back to the way it was? With System Restore, you can.

System Restore works a lot like the Undo command in Microsoft Word. You can use System Restore to remove any system changes that were made since the last time you remember your computer working correctly. System Restore does not affect your personal data files (such as Microsoft Word documents, browsing history, drawings, favorites, or e–mail) so you won't lose changes made to these files.

How does System restore work?

Windows XP periodically records a snapshot of your computer. These snapshots are called restore points. Windows XP also creates restore points at the time of significant system events (such as when an application or driver is installed) or you can create and name your own restore points at any time. If you’ve installed a program that has made your computer unstable, you can open system restore, choose a restore point, and return your computer to its previous stable state.

When you run System Restore, a calendar is displayed to help you find restore points. If you don't use your computer every day, some days might not have any restore points. If you use your computer frequently, you might have restore points almost every day, and some days might have several restore points.

Use System Restore to undo changes you’ve made to your computer

Before you open the System Restore console, you may want to save your work and close all programs since System Restore requires you to restart your computer.

There are two ways to access System Restore – through Help and Support or through your All Programs folder.

Through Help and Support:

1.



Click Start, and then click Help and Support.

2.



Under Pick a Task, click Undo changes to your computer with System Restore.

3.



Follow the instructions on the wizard.

Through the All Programs menu:

1.



Click Start.

2.



Point to All Programs.

3.



Point to Accessories.

4.



Point to System Tools.

5.



Click System Restore.

6.



Follow the instructions on the wizard.

Creating a restore point can be useful any time you anticipate making changes to your computer that are risky or might make your computer unstable. If something goes wrong, you select the restore point you just created and Windows XP undoes any system changes made since that time.

Create a Restore Point

1.



Open System Restore. (See step-by-step instructions above.)

2.



Click Create a restore point, and then click Next.

3.



In the Restore point description box, type a name to identify this restore point as seen in Figure 1 below. System Restore automatically adds the date and time that this Restore Point is created.

Answer 4

I missed part one.  

Have you checked that your laptop is set to "Obtain an IP address automatically"?  Using DHCP?  Same with DNS?

Sounds like they are set statically

EDIT***

If you got another computer, I'd hook it up the same way and see if you get the same results.  This would at least rule out the possibility of the problem being with your network settings or NIC on the laptop.

I am curious, you say you go from wall to laptop with a cable, are you saying you don't even have access to the modem?  Something is handing out that Private IP address and if it's your modem, then you need to call your ISP to fix that.

The only device that would automatically hand out that type of private address is a modem.  You will never receive a private class IP from your ISP.

Restore points is a last resort, even an amateur should know that
