fuckin t'inny ive got my pc running off a router through another pc... yet for some reason, despite my pc saying i have a 100mb connection, i cant connect to the net, or messenger.. comes up saying theres no active connection... when there clearly is... anyone?
Re: fuckin t'inny u got sp2 on it? may have turned on the built in firewall. can u ping any external hosts?
Re: Re: fuckin t'inny its me.. in english? i havent got any antivirus just XP firewall... had AVF? before but it ate all my ram and genereally seemed to do fuck all... ping external hosts? in english please
Re: Re: Re: Re: fuckin t'inny maybe, the only one i will have is mcafee firewall and antivirus... but since i reformatted ive lost it... i just use housecall normally... my pc is old and cant handle the crap people like norton load your pc with, which most people dont even need or ever use... you got any answer for my Q? tried to renew my ip but says it cant do it :spangled:
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: fuckin t'inny Housecall isn't enough at all... you need AV software with constant protection (not Norton though). XP firewall is a risk in itself, suggest you get something else... To ping: Go to Start --> Run, type "Command", type "ping http://www.yahoo.co.uk" and hit enter. See if it says 'timed-out' or whatever.
You installed anything/done anything to your pc recently? Try opening My Network Places, click View Network Connections, right-click on your internet connection and select Status - is there any activity (packets sent/rec'd)? Does it say 'connected'? Click on the support tab and select 'repair', will flush dns etc and may help. Click Porperties on General tab, select Advanced tab, click Firewall Settings and disable XP firewall, see if that helps. If the problem's with your router I'm no real use, not too good with them.
See if you can see the router's set up page. Its normally http://192.168.0.0 If you cant reset it back to its factory default. If you can check what its MAC address is. I take it you have a separate modem?!? Then go to the modem page which should be at 192.168.100.0 (although it might change depending on the make) and find what the MAC address is there. If they dont match copy the one from the modem into the routers MAC address so that they match. Hope this helps
its safecom mate... we reintstalled it last night and it worked fine for a few hours, then 'network cable unplugged kept coming up' when the cable hadn't been touched... this happened on all three pc's connected to the router... turned it on this morning, wokred fine for about 30 seconds then, went back to being connected but 'work offline' the computer running the router recently had Spy Sweeper installed on it...
