I cannot get on internet at home. MY ip address is

IP address ...... f80:: blah blah blah (dont remember the rest exactly )

does this mean anything to anybody?please post a copy of IPCONFIG /ALL if possible.mm..unfortunately i cant. im at work and the prob is with my home COMPUTER. but i can tell you it looked something like this:

IP......164.something
subnet mask....255.something
IP......f80::215 (or soemthing along those lines) and then a bunch more numbers
default gateway (dont remember...but i believe it matched the 164 from above)

i TALKED to three isp tech support folk, and they have no clue what the f80 means, or why its being causedI am thanking that you are looking at a truncated IPv6 address. when you post your ipconfig we will know more.

once you have a copy of your ipconfig you could try running the following command:

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renewtried that at home and it was unable to doooh wait...i dont think i did /release i just did /renew

doh...hm.....dang it now i have to wait til i get home to try that.....sigh

and this is gonna bug me all day
so anyway...i'll try that when i get home, but...just in general...

if you see IP address.. f80:: blah blah blah

that doesnt INDICATE a specific cause to you?No. it just indicates a IPv6 IP address.

you need to find the other IP address entries.


One THING you can do is redirect ipconfig to a file:

Code: [Select]ipconfig > C:\ipout.txt

and then copy that files contents into your next post.blows my mind how 3 isp internet fios tech support people had no clue what that was ...even if they COULDNT resolve it....the had no clue what it was
