One Computer Can Reach Router But Not Internet

[rste11]

Just got a brand new router this morning. Hooked it up to the modem, called Bright House and had it set to bridge mode, set up our wireless range extender and everything was fine. My dad's mac laptop was able to connect as well as my win7 desktop. When my brother tries to connect using his win7 laptop, though, he can connect to the router but not to the internet. He keeps getting limited access. He was able to connect and use a neighbor's wireless (but obviously we don't want to be doing that) so we know it's at least working.

Also, when he connects to the network, he never reaches the network type selection page (for the home / work / public networks).

Let's see the TCP/IP configuration of the problem PC.

Hit Windows key + R, copy/paste the following into the box, and hit enter.

cmd /c "ipconfig /all > %tmp%\tmp.txt && start notepad %tmp%\tmp.txt"

This will open a file detailing your network configuration. Copy and paste it to this forum.

Well the first thing I noticed is this line:

DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No

That tells me that machine has been configured manually, which means it might not be correct for your new router. It should be using DHCP.

If I had to bet, it would be your old router used the 192.168.0.x network, but your new router is using 192.168.1.x. Using DHCP would correct this.

You were exactly right with all of that, and the second DHCP was enabled we got internet. Thanks a ton!

I would recommend a Google search for specific tasks in the future, because this is an old, dead thread.

Either way, follow the steps here: http://windows7themes.net/how-to-enable-dhcp-in-windows-7.html

If you do not use windows 7, google the steps for windows 8.
