Identifying network ... endless loop

...did you reinstall the drivers after deleting all of them?

your address number link to this http://www.geotarget-iplookup.info/lookup.py?ip=169.254... put the name and model of router also look at this http://www.pctechbytes.com/networking/169-254-address/

What happened when you set a static ip address? E.g. set it to 192.168.0.155 and then open a cmd window and type ping 192.168.0.1  

They all reinstalled when I rebooted. yes

Router is Dlink DI - 614+

When I put 192.168.0.155 on the IE line I get "address not valid" or "this address is not valid" cmd line...for ping is p PING: transmit failed. General Failure
4x
packets enst 4 received 0 lost 4 (100%)

use this to get acces to routeur you got everything in the link http://www.dlink.ca/products/?tab=3&pid=DI-614%2b&rev=D...

Looks like a driver problem,

do an ipconfig /all and post here please with the static ip address set as it is now.

Hi  

You forgot to tell him to run the commands from a command prompt....CMD

All the best Brett  

Is there a green light on your switch/router that your PC is plugged into?

Check that there is a green light where the network cable is plugged into the computer.

Could you please follow this guide to set a static ip address

Then try the ping 192.168.0.1

EDIT:

Thanks Brett

The light is orange on the bottom...of the host...a flashing yellow above. I swapped cables to a new set and same color scheme...so I don't think thats it unless it should absolutely be green. Mainframe is Asus. Working set IP address now. Thanks guys...heroes !!

I suggest you remove your name from your post  

OK Brett and aaab:

"identifying is gone" It now has the name of my Local Area Connection: H1| office ***


When I ping I get different msg too (progress right?)

STILL no connection to the desktop though

map your network in win 7 and see if you got something to the router also when you connect to your router with a cable if the connection is good the light on this one should be green,check cable for defect

Hi  

You got the numbers wrong....

He said ping 192.168.0.1

You pinged 192.168.1.10

Ping the correct number and come back with the result...

All the best Brett  

I set the following IP address:
IP address: 192.168.1.11
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
default gateway: 192.168.0.1

I set the following DNS serve addresses
Preferred DNS server 216 104.64.5
alternate DNS serve 216.104.72.5

Got a warning on close: a Warning The default gateway is not on the same network segment (subent) that is defined by the IP address and subnet mask. Doyou want to save configuration?

Will ping 192.168.0.1 now and come right back. Thank you sir.

Ping statistics for 192.168.0.1:

So you have set your ip address to 192.168.1.11

You need to set it to 192.168.0.11

The 0 is quite important. As from what I can see your router is on 192.168.0.1

Brett told me to switch to 192.168.0.1...ping detail below. Should I try 192.168.0.11 too???

set the following IP address:

subnet mask 255.255.255.0
default gateway: 192.168.0.1

Then try ping 192.168.0.1  

Just out of curiosity could you do an ipconfig on your laptop thats connected via wifi and post that here too

Ok that ping looks good, did you check to see if the internet is working now?

If the internet isn't working yet:


Just need to get the dns servers correct.

set the following IP address:
IP address: 192.168.0.11
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
default gateway: 192.168.0.1

set the following DNS server addresses
Preferred DNS server 192.168.0.1
alternate DNS serve 216.104.72.5

Then try access the internet and see how it goes.

On your laptop could you do a ipconfig /all and post here no need for the ping

All is working... thank god. I wrote a thank you note to you and Brett but I think it went to Brent's thread. ..its just freaking amazing what you guys do for people. GIVes me faith in humanity.

I don't understand how it all got so screwed up though and that bothers me. Do you still want the config all for the laptop??? Again, I am forever gratefull. Let me know. Cheers. Mark
