networking problems...


Blog Code

So my desktop is working again, but there is a teensey problem, the wireless card is fried. I have an ethernet cable I can use until I get a new card, but my computer does not seem to like it... when i plug in the cable to my router, and the other end to my computer, it does not connect! when I tell the computer to "repair" the connection, it says "failed to query TCP/IP Settings of the connection, cannot proceed"
Now, I have no IDEA what this means, or how to fix it. I installed the ethernet drivers that came with the motherboard again, but no dice, it still gives the same error, and I tried restarting after the install.
Any help to be given?

    Is it the same install from before the computer died?

    I
    If so, try resetting the winsock stack.

    Enter:
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit enter and restart

    Reopen the CMD window
    Enter :
    netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt
    Hit enter, and restart again.

        when you go to network connections, what does it say? is this "Limited or No Connectivity" or is it saying the wire is not connected.


        that error message is weird though, never seen it before, might want to just follow Nirach's advise. Either that or something is fucked in your tcip settings
        go to the network connections

        Right Click the Local Area Connection ->Properties

        In the window where it has all the protocols click the TCP/IP one and click "Properties".

        Make it is set to Obtain IP Automatically.

          in network connections, it says it is connected, but this is the weird bit, it LOOKS connected, but it acts like it is not, so I go to "repair" the connection, and get that weird error. when i get home, I will try what Nirach said and report back

    I go where I please, and I please where I go

    Also, check that in device manager or the bios there is no entry for the WLAN card. If it got fried, there's a chance that the OS might not have detected it as broken and deleted the entries appropriately. A stretch, but you may as well try it.

      thats the thing, the OS still thinks it works, and to an extent it does. I can detect networks, it just cant connect to them. the whole error message i got was for the ethernet port, not the wireless

        I know, but weird shit that I can't explain might be happening.

        Disable it in device manager and see if that fixes your ethernet issues.

      so i checked the device manager, it says the card is there, which it is, since it is plugged in, but it does not see any problem with it. should I unplug the wireless card?

        Just right click it and say "disable". You can always re-enable it again later if it doesn't help.
