DJL 232 #1 December 15, 2008 And by old I mean 2 years. This was my top of the line desktop work station and I thought that I SHOULD be able to just hook it up and go.. Running on Windows 2000 Professional and Internet Explorer . I've checked the cable and modem and they work on the rest of my comps. I've got through several setup wizards to get the connection going and can't get any websites to come up. If the version of Explorer is the issue then I can't figure out how to update that. Any suggestions?"I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remster 24 #3 December 15, 2008 did you try running a couple of pings to see if you have any connectivity? I usually try running a ping on www.yahoo.com start > run > cmd > type in "ping www.yahoo.com" in the command window, and see if you get a ping backRemster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJL 232 #4 December 15, 2008 "Unknown host." I don't think I'm getting through the router and modem. Trying to remember how to get to the setup page for the IP."I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 15 #5 December 16, 2008 Go to the command line and then type ipconfig That will give you the IP and gateway. Make sure there is not a static IP assigned to the network card and also look to see that TCP is an enabled protocol on that card by right clicking "My Network" and then going into properties.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJL 232 #6 December 16, 2008 All I'm getting is "windows 2000 IP Configuration" It's trying to connect through my old work VPN connection program or a dial-up connection even though I've run through an LAN setup. I pinged my router "ping 168.192.0.0" and it gave me "destination host unreachable". I've set up two comps and two laptops in this house. What kind of DFU error is this... For some reason I'm running off of the F: instead of C:. I think it's something I did when I added another drive back in the day but hey, it worked then. Edit: Oh man, it was just up. Then gone."I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuna-Salad 0 #7 December 16, 2008 Several things you can do here. A Try the ipconfig /all - and please post what it says. You can try ping 127.0.0.1 to ping your nic card and see if it returns. If not then the problem is with your nic card. Try a different cable, maybe using a crossover cable instead of a lan cable. By running the network setup wizard you probably have several conflicting networks now. Check control panel / network connections and see how many connections there are. You should have 1394 connection and local area connection, nothing more. If it keeps trying to default to the dialup vpn connection it will be listed here. Simply delete it or disable it. Try ipconfig /release - ipconfig /renew If possible update the winsock to a newer version. You can also try some netsh commands in the cmd, there are several.. You can also try to reset the ipstack netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt (in cmd) Also check the properties of the connection to see if TCP/IP is listed in the protocols. If so go toproperties and make sure "Obtain ip address auto" is selected and make sure "Obtain dns server address" is selected. If tcp/ip is not shown just click install a new protocol and select it from the list. Last but not least check the pc for malwalre if possible. Download avast or avg and burn to a cd on other pc then install on the one that does not work. I would also get into the cmos (f8) on boot and re-arrange the boot order if it runs off F instead of C but that also depends on what drive the OS is on. (you don't want the os to be on a slave drive and boot up later than the others) Hope some of this helpedMillions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.

PhreeZone 15 #16 December 16, 2008 Windows does not have a EULA that expires. Once you buy Windows you are good to go until Microsoft kills that OS. Honestly it sounds like the network card is not set up correctly. If you look in the Device manager is it showing as enabled with no conflicts?Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not going to debate the issue. EULAs are a somewhat legally shakey license agreement. I think you might be confusing them with product activation / genuine advantage. As for updates/patches it can be expected that all products reach EOL at some point.
