Network Card repair(continued....) Diy-Computer-Repair can help!Scenario: No connectivity!Lets say you can not connect, you can do not have an ip listed when you run ipconfig. You can do a little trouble shooting before you call the "Geek Squad".Setting the IP If your system is set for DHCP and you are getting your IP from your Cable Modem or DSL Router you can fake it out by entering your own ip. Most generic Cable Modems and DSL Routers use this subnet to give you an IP: 192.168.1.X where X is any digit above 2. If you have more than two computers connect to your Cable Modem or DSL Router use this ip to fake out the DHCP: 192.168.1.130, you will also have to set the subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 and set the gate way:192.168.1.1 Don't worry about the lower block for DNS. Now go to the command prompt you opened and type: ping 192.168.1.1 You will either get a reply from the Cable Modem or DSL Router or you will get a time out on the reply. If you get a reply from the ping then shut your system down and restart, once it is running again go back to the network properties and remove the ip address you put in, just check the DHCP radio button, apply changes, this should take a short period to complete. Go to the command prompt, type in ipconfig, does it look like the sample? If it comes back with an ip, in the command prompt type: ping 192.168.1.1 Do you get a reply? Yes? From the command prompt type: ping www.google.com Reply? Yes? Fixed. If these steps fail to resolve your problem you will have to call for a local tech to assist you.
