Did you install the drivers for the network adapter shown in device manager

Did you restart the PC

Has the router / modem got any lights showing

If you open Internet Explorer, type 192.168.0.1 in the address bar and press enter, does it go to the router set up page?

[helpmee]

i couldnt find anything about an adapter in device manager..

on the modem.. the power, pc and cable lights are solid and the data one blinks like every couple seconds

[helpmee]

nevermind, under network adapers it says

scientific atlanta DPX2100 USB Cable Modem

[helpmee]

i think it might have something to do with my IP address, because when i try to repair the connection it starts off

" renewing your IP address "

then comes

" windows could not finish repairing the problem because the following action cannot be completed - renewing your IP address "

From the manual, have you got a software CD for the modem, or is this how you installed the drivers. If you haven't got the CD, I can look for the drivers

http://www.simplehel...nta_dpx2100.PDF

To install Windows XP drivers
1. Insert the USB Cable Modem Driver Installation Disk into the CD-ROM
drive of your PC.
2. Wait until the Power and Cable indicators on the cable modem illuminate
solid green.
3. Select Install from a list or specific location (Advanced) in the Found
New Hardware Wizard window, and then click Next.
4. Select Search removable media (floppy, CD-ROM) in the Found New
Hardware Wizard window, and then click Next.
5. Click Continue Anyway in the Hardware Installation window to continue
the installation. The Found New Hardware Wizard window reopens with a
message that the installation has finished.
6. Click Finish to close the Found New Hardware Wizard window. The USB
drivers are installed on your PC and your USB devices are ready for use.
7. Try to access the Internet. If you cannot access the Internet, go to Having
Difficulty?, next in this guide. If you still cannot access the Internet, contact
your cable service provider for further assistance.

Does it halt if you try it this way

Click start, all programmes, accessories, command prompt

To renew the IP address for Windows 2000/NT/XP systems
1. Open a Command Prompt (DOS) window.

2. At the C:/ prompt, type ipconfig/release and press Enter. The system
releases the IP address.

3. At the C:/ prompt, type ipconfig/renew and press Enter. The system
displays a new IP address.

4. To close the Command Prompt window, click on the X in the upper right
corner of the window. You have completed this procedure.


If you cannot access the Internet, contact your cable service provider for further assistance.

[helpmee]

yup, after i do the renew process it doesnt display anything..

[Retired Tech]

Unplug the router for a minute, plug it back in

If that doesn't change anything, use another PC to get this to load on your PC and run it
