The first option didn't work. The last thing you had me do said the value was set at auto mode under the Link speed/Duplex Mode. I hope that is what you needed. There wasn't a selection called media type. I thought that might be the same thing.

I do think that the tech put that program on our computer.

Also, our ISP hasn't ever required us to use the PPPoE. And, we haven't ever had to use a name and password to get on the internet before. We have to for the PPPoE right now though.

Let me know what is next!


Thanks,

Kristi

Yes, that was what I was looking for
Please try and change that value to 10Mbps/Full Duplex, and then see if the Limited or no connectivity message goes away, and also if you can connect. You may want to restart your computer before testing, too. Just to make sure

If that doesn't work, then we'll have to get down to the nitty and gritty stuff

Dan,


Well, I guess that didn't work either. I guess we will have to get to the nitty gritty!

Kristi,
Did anything happen when you changed the Duplexing? Any change what-so-ever -- or does your computer just hate me?

Please goto Start --> Run --> type EVENTVWR and press OK --> Now, look under the System log for any errors and/or warnings. If you find any, please post the relevant heading, along with the details inside by double clicking on the error/warning, and then copy/pasting the information from within.

(Please do this with your PPPoE connected, and then disconnect it and repeat these steps -- please post both) Goto Start, Run, type CMD, press 'OK' and then type: IPCONFIG /ALL - please post the results here by right-clicking on the Command Prompt window, selecting 'Select All', pressing the Enter key, and then posting on this forum. Alternately, you can save your information to a text file by using the following command: IPCONFIG /ALL > C:\ipconfig.txt -- navigate to that text file, and copy/paste the information from it.

With your PPPoE disconnected, please do the following:
Start --> Run --> type CMD --> press OK. Now type:

• ipconfig /release -- wait for the connection to release; then
• ipconfig /renew -- wait for the connection to re-establish, or alternately for an error message to display -- if it is an error message, please post the message.

I don't think it is you that the computer doesn't like. I've decided it doesn't like anyone except the tech we used to have! I really don't think it even liked him either!

There wasn't any change after the duplexing. The computer acted slow for a minute, like it wanted to do something...but it was too lazy. Really, nothing ended up changing.

I am going to try the next step and post back again...

Thanks,

Kristi

It's that Limited or no connectivity message that is bugging me Now, I know I have already asked you to do this before, however please just humour me
Goto Start --> Programs --> Accessories --> Communications --> Network Connections --> Right click on your Local Area Connection --> Select Properties --> Click on Internet Protocl (TCP/IP) once --> Press the Properties button --> Select the option Use the following IP Address: --> Enter: IP Address (68.89.250.128), Subnet Mask (255.255.255.255) and Default Gateway (68.89.250.128) --> Now select Use the following DNS Servers --> Enter in the two DNS Servers (68.94.156.1 and 68.94.157.1) --> Press OK.

Restart your computer, and see if you can obtain a connection to the Internet with only your LAN -- also, see if you still recieve the Limited or no connectivity message. If you cannot connect to the Interne, then retun your settings to Obtain an IP Address automatically and Obtain DNS Server address automatically, and connect with your PPPoE connection again, and post back telling me that it failed

Then I'll look at those errors that you posted

Thanks,
Dan.

[kris74745]

Dan,

As soon as I tried to press OK, after logging in the addresses, a warning message came up saying:

The combination of IP address and subnet mask is invalid. All of the bits in the host address portion of the IP address are set to 1. Please enter a valid combination of IP address and subnet mask.

So...it wouldn't let me continue. I tried to do it more than once, to make sure I entered everything in correctly. I even typed it in s-l-o-w-l-y.






Thanks,

Kristi

[Dan]

Try putting in the Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 or 255.255.0.0

[kris74745]

Okay. The limited or no connectivity went away, but as you predicted, I still couldn't get on the internet without the PPPoE. Do I still need to switch back to obtain address automatically? Let me know what else I need to do!


Thanks,

Kristi

[Dan]

If you can connect with your PPPoE fine with a Static IP, then you don't need to change back, as this will help us to troubleshoot If you're connecting fine, then I'll post some other things to do (with only your LAN connected), and we'll hopefully make some progress.

[kris74745]

Me too!!! Going to bed now!

Talk to you soon.

Thanks,

Kristi

[Dan]

Okay Good night

Since it's only 4pm here, I'll probably post some more steps a little later, which you can try when you get the chance

[Dan]

Congratulations, Kristi -- as far as I know, your topic is the first (in the Networking forum) to reach 100 replies Don't you feel privileged?

First of all, could you please try restarting your computer into Safe Mode with Networking, and then seeing if you can connect to the Internet. If not, restart back into normal mode and continue...

Please download LSPFix from here. Run the LSPFix.exe that you have just finished downloading, and please list all of the protocols that are in the 'Keep' and 'Remove' list; if there are protocols in the 'Remove' list, then please don't click 'Finish>>'. Simply close the program by pressing ALT+F4 or the Close [x] button.

What happens when you change your Duplexing back to auto? Try connecting to the web.. If you cannot, return it back to 10Mbps/Full Duplex, and then try to connect to the Internet. If you still cannot, just put it back to auto and leave it.

Could you please try the following pings, with only your LAN connection (to ping, goto Start, Run, type CMD and press OK, and then type: ping address):
ping localhost
ping 127.0.0.1
ping 68.89.250.128
ping 68.94.156.1
ping google.com
ping 64.233.187.99

If you do all of those pings in the same window, you can copy them all by right-clicking on the Command Prompt window, selecting 'Select All', pressing the Enter key, and then posting on this forum.

Please goto Start --> Run --> type: services.msc and press enter --> Now click on the Action tab, and select Export List... and then save it as services.txt to an easy-to-reach location. Navigate to the text file, open it and copy/paste all of the information from within into your next reply.

Thanks,
Dan.

Hey Dan! Sorry it's taken so long for me to get back with you. I went out of town this weekend.

Here are the items in the Keep box:

mswsock.dll Tcpip
winrnr.dll NTDS
nwprovau.dll NWLink IPX/SPX/Net BIOS Compatible Transport Protocol
rsvpsp.dll (Protocol handler)

There was nothing in the remove box.
