Solve : IP Address showing zeros after re-installing XP? |
|
Answer» I recently re-installed XP home on my old laptop and everything seemed to install ok but now I cannot CONNECT to my internet wirelessly.In my system tray it shows that my network name and conection rate as EXCELLENT but it will not actually connect. When I do "ipconfig /all" I find my IP address to be 0.0.0.0. I also get a funny looking address for my DNS servers of "fec0:0:0:ffff::1%1" and then "2%1" and "3%1". I reinstalled my dell drivers from the drivers disc that came with the computer and I did have SLOW connectivity via wired hookup. I have tried "ping ip_address_of_the_router" and it I got "Ping request could not find host ip_address_of_the_router. Please check the name and try again.". I have a working interent CONNECTION on my other laptop (wireless) and through my desktop (wired). I don't know if this is a DRIVER issue or what but I just can't seem to get it figured out. THe status of my wirelss connetion on the problem computer is just aquiring network address. But it never connects. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm afraid I'm in over my head on this one. Start/Run... I also get a funny looking address for my DNS servers of "fec0:0:0:ffff::1%1" and then "2%1" and "3%1".This is for IPv6. Normal. Edit: The numbers don't look perfectly normal (kind of ), but it may be connected to the main issue, which patio attempts to fix.I have already tried to do as Patio said; Start/Run... Type in ipconfig /release and hit Enter Then ipconfig /renew and hit Enter... Re-boot and see... No luck with this I still had the same problems. My computer cannot connect wireless to the internet. I believe it to be a TCP/IP driver issue and cannot figure out how to solve it. I downloaded what I thought were the appropriate drivers form the drivers CD that came with the system. Right now I am trying to reinstall/repair of XP and see what happens. Any other ideas would be great if you have them. Thanks again!Quote My computer cannot connect wireless to the internet.Did you try wired connection? After Windows reinstall, did you install chipset driver? What was used to reinstall Windows? Windows CD, or some recovery CD? Any errors in Device Manager?Probably forgot to re-install all drivers after the install... That's at least what it's looking like... |
