Title: Internet problems again, *sigh*
Post by: NewF on August 28, 2007, 05:58:03 PM: yeah, this time its my internet connection saying it can';t contact my dhcp so the connection times out. What can I do to fix this? I tried un-plugging and re-plugging in my internet, router, turning off the computer, and restarting, then re-plugging em all back in. That didn't work, so I tried reconfiguring my router, and resetting it, THAT didn't work so I tried re-configuring my IP address, and everytime I try to do that it sais I cannot connect to my dhcp, so the connection times out. What to do?
P.s : the internet and router work for all the other computers except mine. And the network card should be fine cause when I hooked my comp up directly to my modem it worked fine. Kinda slow, but fine.
