I am able to connect an ethernet cable directly from the modem to the laptop and gain access to the internet.
When you say the IP address, subnet, and gateware are all empty do you mean they are set to receive DHCP or are they just empty? Make sure in properties they are checked to receive an IP via DHCP.
[View Full Quote]Once your set for DHCP I want to see what IP it is receiving. Go to the command prompt (in XP it's in the menu under accessories or system tools, I believe). Type "ipconfig all" without the ". If you receive a 169.x.x.x number then it's not getting an IP from the router. Othewise you should be receiving IP info from the router.
Another possibilities that I've seen is that the router may not have enough IP's for all the devices attached. Make sure the IP range on the router has enough available IP's for all your devices. This probably isn't it but I've seen it happen before. |
I'll try this later tonight as well. when I say those are empty I mean when I go to network connections and go to the properties of the connection and click details, where it lists the ip, gateway, and subnet, there are no numbers at all, just blank spots.
when I hook up via ethernet, and the internet works, those obviously all have numbers and what not.
