Hello, got a problem I can’t figure out. I am unable to access the Internet. This happened right after I ran CCleaner and then defraged the hard drive. Here is some info. The desktop (Windows Vista) and the laptop (Windows XP) connect to the router with an Ethernet cable. The laptop can connect to the Internet fine. I switched cables and got the same thing so I ruled out the cables. On the desktop, I did an ipconfig /all and got the following:
Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address: 169.254.24.48 (Preferred)
Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway:
I tried this: Netsh winsock reset and turned off computer. Turned it back on and got same problem.
In Device Manager the Network card says it is working. I can also ping it (127.0.0.1) without any problems.
DHCP and Autoconfiguration are enabled. I also noticed NetBIOS over tcpip is enabled if that helps.
I don’t want to assign a static IP address because it was working before.
Anyone have any ideas? I also turned off modem, then router, then desktop. Turned modem on, then router, then desktop, no luck.
