Xp connect problem

[jmebonner]

New build, it's a K7S5A Pro (w/ built in LAN). I installed the drivers for the lan, but still can't go broadband. I had a 56 k in there to start b/c that's what they wanted. I thought it might be the problem, so I removed it and uninstalled it from the Device MAnager. Still, when I try to get on the internet w/ it. It says it's not connected. I know all is good w/ the modem and cable b/c it's what I'm using now. Is there a setting or something I'm missing?

Thanks!

Try going to the control panel and select Network Connections, then click on Create a new connection. Choose LAN as your connection type, it should be pretty straight foward.

Tried it meese (I'd say half a dozen times) even tried resarting after and still nada.

Thx for the reply!

Make sure you go into internet properties --> connections and say "never dial a connect." Also you prolly want to make sure in the same properties window goto Local Area Connections, and turn off automatically detect settings.

Are there any conficts in the device manager?

[jmebonner]

nope, no conflicts. I did turn off automatically detect settings vhockey, but it's the S.O.S.

When I click on ie it says :

Web page unavailable offline, blah, blah, blah. There's NO modem installed, no dial up info under settings, nothing.

Post an ipconfig /all. Are you using a router?

[jmebonner]

Windows Ip configuration
Host name.....family
Primary DNS Suffix...
Node Type....Unknown
IP Routing Enabled...No

Ethernet Adapter internet:

Connectiopn specific DNS Suffix.:
Description .....Sis 900 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter
Physical addy...00-0A-E6-AB-A6-EB
Dhcp enabled...Yes
Autoconfiguration enabled...Yes
Autoconfig IP addy....169.254245.135
Subnet MAsk....255.255.0.0
Default Gateway...:

That's what I get

no router, btw

[meese]

That ip is a default given when you don't get one dynamically. And there are no DNS servers listed or default gateway. Are you sure your account is activated by your isp?

[jmebonner]

yep, when I run the ipconfig on this computer (my main one) I get a totally different set of numbers. Frustrating
