IP Configuration

[penguin47]

Hi, I am sure that this has been asked, but cannot seem to find it anywhere. I have my computers hooked up to a router. The internet is working, but really slow. I was trying to troubleshoot, but when I hook my computer up straight to my modem to bypass the router, I cannot get it to connect. I have ensured that everything is set to get setting automatically. Any advice. I know in my router it has a static IP and DHCP turned on. Thanks!

You need to power cycle your cable modem every time you connect it to a different device.

I have tried to power cycle many times. I still get the same thing "Local area network does not have a proper IP configuration.

Did you reboot the PC also? Is the PC setup for static IP? Does the modem need a static IP setup maybe? Did you check with the cable company?

I am not sure if my computer is setup for a static IP, but I know it is setup to give all of my computers one in my router. I have tried rebooting everything.

You need to reconnect your computer to your router, login to the router and look at the WAN setup.

But since you want to take out the router, you need to find out what configuration the modem wants. Most of the time they will give out a DHCP address to the PC, but some of them get a static IP configuration and manual settings you need to put in. Best thing to do is to work with the ISP to get this tested.
