So today, I decided to upgrade my desktop with a second SSD (in raid 0) and upgrade windows from home premium (64bit) to professional (64bit, clean install). However, after installing all the latest drivers (and bios), and plugging in the Ethernet cable, my pc will not connect to the internet. It does, however, ask me what kind of network I am connecting to (home, public, etc) and does that successfully (home network for me).
So I tried a couple of things, but all were to no avail:
- reset my router
-restarted my pc (multiple times)
-reinstalled network drivers
-tried to connect to my router - when i tried to access my router via internet explorer (typing in 192.168.1.1, which I confirmed was my router ip using cmd), I could not connect to it.

Anyone have any ideas? Prior to upgrading my system, I never had any internet functionality issues.

Thanks.

Instead of putting them in a RAID, you could use them as two independent drives.

Your IP information looks fine. Open a command prompt again and post the result of: route print
Also post the results of: netstat -An | FIND "ESTABLISHED"
That command is case-sensitive and the character before the word find is a pipe, typed by holding the shift key and pressing the slash key near your enter key.

SSDs do not perform better in RAID0 for gaming applications. The difference in latencies causes the SSDs to take longer to fetch the typical 4KB reads than if they were left alone as independent drives. Only heavy sequential reading and writing applications will see benefits from having drives in RAID0.

To troubleshoot your networking issue, open a command prompt and post the output of ipconfig /all

In regards to the SSD: In my case, it definitely was an upgrade. I originally had just a 60gb drive and was short on space (no games at all lol), and so my friend gave me his 60gb and so i put them in raid 0. Even then, I don't see a performance difference, and im guessing that these ssd's in raid 0 will outperform the HDD my games used to be installed on.

Networking stuff: Here's a pic of my ipconfig on my pc. sorry for crude method, but i've got no connectivity on my desktop, so a picture seemed the quickest method. heres the imgur link

So, I actually figured out what was wrong. Thanks Syntax42 for the suggestions anyway, though. Here's what happened (involved me being stupid :p )
Tried plugging my laptop (with wifi off) into the lan port of my pc. no connection. So i used my laptop with wifi on to connect to my router, where i soon found that all the attached devices were all connected via wifi. Apparently my router has a "disable lan ports" option. never knew this existed, but after enabling it, my pc got on the internet.

Feeling really stupid right now XD

Thanks again
