Invalid ip config?

[bluerambo]

Hello everyone. I have a gaming machine i ran for some time on a wireless connection. This connection had decent speeds but was unreliable and at times very slow (3000 vent ping). So me and my father fished some cat5e cable through some wall from our router to my room. We used some old external jacks verizon gave us and some 6 foot patch cables to connect the computer and router to the jacks. My problem is that once it was all connected i would plug the cable into my computer but thee computer could not find the connection. After running the troubleshooter it said "LAN connection has invalid IP configuration." Previously I used an ASUS pce-n13 wireless adapter and now the lan is running of the nvidia nforce on my Asus P5n-d motherboard. I am clueless to the problem and I have called Verizon and gotten nowhere. Any input is helpful. Thank you

That doesnt help me

What type of jacks did Verizon give you? Are they RJ45? Are they wired according to the CAT5 A or B standard? Why are you starting a new thread?

 

[bluerambo]

the jacks are not the problem I am posative that everything is wired correctly there is a software problem i believe

Open a command prompt, type ipconfig/all and post the output here.

This was all with the wireless adapter connected and the lan cable plugged in

 

[nRRe]

Your Wireless is on a private class C address of 192.168.1.0 network with a 255.255.255.0 subnet mask.

But your LAN Ethernet card is set to a class B address of 169.254.78.136. You will have to check your router to verify what IP network it has setup for its LAN connection.

You will possibly have to change that to the 192.168.1.0 network and set default gateway to 192.168.1.1. Try that, set your computer ip to 192.168.1.101 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0

Again unless your wireless router runs its LAN poets on different network than wireless it should work.

Ignore nRRe. He doesn't know that Windows assigns 169.243.X.X IP addresses when no IP address is assigned by a DHCP server.

Try crimping RJ45 jacks to each end of the ethernet cable using either the A or B wiring standard for each end.

Harsh way of putting that, but correct.

On my old dlink wireless router I had to manually assign IP addresses for it.

I set it to not broadcast the network and manually assigned IPs as I lved in an apartment complex and I restricted unused addresses. DHCP slipped my mind.

Learned something new today though, thank you.

Sorry to be harsh but incorrect info in posts drive me crazy. Glad you learned something!

 

[bluerambo]

Sorry but im kind of a noob at this kind of stuff can you simplify that sorry

 

[Guest]

What part do I need to simplfy? I don't think your ethernet cable is correct.

 

[bluerambo]

so i need patch cables that have rj45 ends?

 

[Guest]

No, just put RJ45 jacks on the CAT5E cable that you ran from the router to your computer. The order of the wires in the jack must match the CAT5 A or B wiring standard. Then plug one jack into the router and one jack into your computer.

 

[bluerambo]

is there something wrong with those external verizon wall jacks i used?

It might help if you set the details from the wireless connection into the TCP/IP settings of the ethernet connection as a manual setup to see if that makes the connection work. Just make sure you avoid giving the connection the number 46.

If it does, you could either leave it like that or revert to automatic DHCP because once Windows finds its way, it usually falls into line.

I'm trying to eliminate as many variables as possible. Without knowing anything about the "external verizon wall jacks" I can't say whether they will work or not. Are they RJ45? Are they wired to the CAT5 A or B wiring standard? Sounds like you really don't know what you're doing and should probably get someone familiarar with CAT5 wiring.
