no IP address given by my PC

[nichos]

I had to migrate to a cheaper B.Band privider, but unfortunately AOL gives a router, and I use a cable, not wireless.

1. this B.Band works fine on my first PC.
2. this bag....d up my trusted simple cable networking.
3. my second PC does not reveal any IP address,
neither its own nor the router's one, whatever I use
in Run, cmd, ipconfig etc.

Any help to get the IP please?

PC:-
mobo= MSI K8TM S.754
cpu= AMD 1.8 ghz
ram=1gb
LAN
XPpro sp2

Post your router/modem mode, the network configuration if you have more than one PC connected and the type of internet connection (DSL, cable, static/dynamic IP, etc.)

Your a little fuzzy on the details. Please drill down some more.

I used to install cable modems so this may be your problem. The modem once authorizied locks into the mac address of your network card/router. It will not give out a new ip if you plug in a new device. Unplug the modem, count to 20 then plug it back it.

Hope this helps/works

Try re-installing the TCP/IP stack. Sometimes that gets a little out of wack which lead to the reinstallation. When you do an ipconfig/all at the command line, what EXACTLY does it say?

OK, problem solved, onboard LAN u/s, so used my PCI NIC & works.
Thanks, nick
