I'm trying to connect an older PC to my broadband connection so I can get rid of a virus ( trojan downloader.Dyfica.2.AA in file C:\WINDOWS\nem219.dll ) ,but I can't get it to connect to the internet.It used to be connected to a dial-up connection,so how do I configure it to a broadband connection? It does have a LAN port in the back that I hooked it to,but I can't get it to recognize the connection.

what os is on the "old computer"?
do start > run > cmd > ipconfig /all
then post the results
also, open up internet explorer > click tools > then options > then the connections tab > click "never dial my default connection" then click the "lan settings" button > make sure the first box is checked (automatically detect settings)

The OS is Windows XP Home Edition. The settings are already " never dial my default connection" and "detect settings automatically" here is the results of the run cmd,I had to type it.

Windows IP configuration: Host name.......gilliam
primary dns suffix........=
node type..........hybrid
ip routing enabled......yes
wins proxy enabled.....no

Ethernet adapter local area connection:
media state......media disconnected
description......Realtek rtl 8139 family pci fast ethernet
physical address........00-40-2b-3c-ob-e8


And the dial up and virtual private network setting box,has dial up connection in it.

I'm sorry,, The older PC is not connected to my broadband connection at this time,is that why it's showing that? I ran the run cmd when it was disconnected also.

hehe...connect the thing...do start > run > cmd > ipconfig /all and post those results (with it connected to the DSL modem) also do the same with the working computer

I'll have to do that tomorrow,I have to leave for work. How will I be able to post the results if I'm not connecting to the internet,I have to unconnect the working PC and connect the older PC and back and forth.

well...do the non working one first...and..i guess write down the info...then connect the working one and we'll work from there (i.e. you can type in what you wrote down...then just copy and paste the results of the ipconfig /all for the working machine)

Ok , while I'm here ,I'm trying to erase the temporary internet files on the older pc,but every time I try it the program says "not responding" I've tried safe mode,everything but nothings working,any suggestions?

http://www.atribune....tent/view/19/2/ try ATF cleaner from there....it works great for that kind of stuff (of course youll need to DL it on the working machine and transfer it on disk to the other one)

are we hooking up to a router or straight to the modem?
i'm assuming straight to the modem since you only had one computer hooked up at a time there...

on the old machine connected to the modem

right click my network places > properties > right click the lan connection > properties > tcp/ip > select properties

then tick the manually assign ip address thing and enter the information as bellow

ip address.....69.134.104.241
subnet mask....255.255.240.0
default gateway.....69.134.96.1
dns servers.......(primary) 24.25.5.150 (secondary) 24.25.5.149

then apply and ok untill you're out of all of that...now see if you can connect

[Dawng]

I did as you said,but still no connection. What is DHCP? I noticed that it is enabled on the new PC ,but disabled on the old. When I see the lan connection icon,it says it is enabled there,when it used to say disabled ,is there something under connection setup I need to do? And yes we are hooking straight to a cable modem,I don't have a two way router yet.

dhcp is the dynamic host control protocol..it allows for automatic ip addresses to be assigned..it's disabled on the old computer cuz we just set a static ip...

go ahead and turn off the modem for about a minute..then start it back ukp and see if you can connect with the old computer

if you can't, go back to the tcp/ip settings like earlier and set that back to automatic...then do start > run > services.msc > find dhcp client and make sure that that is started and set to automatic.. then do start > run > cmd > ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew

OK ,tried that,nothing seems to work,so I think I'll just give up for now.I only wanted to hook the old PC up to update some software ,but I think I'll just take it to a shop whenever I might want to use it on the internet again. Thanks a million for all your help,sorry we couldn't solve the problem.
