Hi, I recently purchased and installed a new ethernet card (and the drivers!) due to my onboard one being fried by a lightning strike... along with my modem. The installation went just fine and my computer now recognizes that there's an ethernet cord plugged into the port but it's giving me a "limited or no connectivity" result after it tries to acquire a network address, and when i click the 'troubleshoot' popup it tells me that it was unable to assign a network address. Is there any way to fix this? It's been about a week since this whole fiasco began and I'm ready for it to be over.

 

I run XP on my PC and I know that both my modem and ethernet cord work fine because I have connected the cord to my laptop.

Hi Galamiel

 

Sometimes the "limited or no connectivity" message it's only a windows glitch...

 

Can you get a log from the machine?

 

Download MiniToolBox and save the file to the Desktop.
Close the browser and run the tool, check the following options:

• Flush DNS
• Report IE Proxy Settings
• Reset IE Proxy Settings
• Report FF Proxy Settings
• Reset FF Proxy Settings
• List content of Hosts
• List IP configuration
• List Winsock Entries
• List last 10 Event Viewer log
• List Installed Programs
• List Devices (check Only Problems)

Click on Go.
