I know you don't want to have to have fixed IP's but it would be worth trying to set the IP manually on one of the machines you're having problems with. Sorry wrong thread. So let me get this right, you've got a Cable Modem which is then connected to a Router, which is then connected to a Computer via ethernet. Also, that router has wifi ENABLED? Or does the cable modem connect directly to a computer, which then connects to the wifi router?i diconnected the wifi router from my network copletely so now i only connect from my isp modem directly to my pc and it seems to work.. but.. when i bought an ethernet hub and connected 2 pcs to the hub only one of them had internet access and i had to disconnect the other one completely from the hub[even the cable] so only one has internet access and same thing happened when i connected 2 pcs [1 thru cable and one thru wireless] none of em had internet access but when i connect only one pc it does have internet.... also-after i got the internet working with direc TLY through the modem i tried updating world of warcraft thru the offical downloader and after a minute or so it says tracker is not responding and it dicsonnects my internet !and i get the yellow triangle again!? weird enough? any ideas? ty anything helps...

By modem to PC do you mean with an ethernet cable?

Are the modem and wifi router the same thing?so You are connected to the router, but the yellow triangle means that there is no Internet access
1- Turn off the router and re-Turn on after 10 seconds
2-I saw a similar problem and was the advice is

click the Start button
click "Control Panel"
click "Network and Internet"
click "Network and Sharing Center"
click the link "Local Area Connection"
click the button "Properties"
untick the BOX in front of "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)"
click the OK button
close the Local Area Connection popup
observe the value of Access type. This should now be Local and Internet.by modem i mean cable modem and no the wifi router is separate linksys router i did tht didnt helpalso there was a comcast[my isp] guy here few days ago and i wasnt home unfortunately but from what my described he probly did SOMETHING in the command prompt..my only guess would be flush dns? i already tried that tho and didnt helpOK UPDATE I KNOW WHAT THE RPOBLEM IS
something wont let 2 pcs on the internet at once
idk what it is maybe my comcast rmodem[router] or some settings..anyway is there some setting to disable 2 pcs to connect to the interrnet at once from same network? because on every second pc that i connect i get yellow triangle and no internet acces but network is connected fine...soo any ideas?please..very desperate Quote from: team-rng on May 02, 2010, 12:39:47 AM

And you don't have problems on the laptop?

I know you don't want to have to have fixed IP's but it would be worth trying to set the IP manually on one of the machines you're having problems with.

Sorry wrong thread.

Or does the cable modem connect directly to a computer, which then connects to the wifi router?i diconnected the wifi router from my network copletely so now i only connect from my isp modem directly to my pc and it seems to work..
but..
when i bought an ethernet hub and connected 2 pcs to the hub only one of them had internet access and i had to disconnect the other one completely from the hub[even the cable]

so only one has internet access and same thing happened when i connected 2 pcs [1 thru cable and one thru wireless] none of em had internet access but when i connect only one pc it does have internet....
also-after i got the internet working with direc TLY through the modem i tried updating world of warcraft thru the offical downloader and after a minute or so it says tracker is not responding and it dicsonnects my internet !and i get the yellow triangle again!?

weird enough?
any ideas?
