my 1st pc plugged into slot 1 on my modem, works as normal
my 2nd pc im trying to get connected is plugged into slot 2

but the 2nd pc wont connect, it cant find a connection? any ideas at all?

its something to do with settings im guessing as i swapped the 2 cables from the beack of each pc and the internet works on pc 1 with either ethernet cable connected

ok this is when i thought it was connected to the net but im guessing the nvidia thing is just using the explorer to display that? but then it shows sent and recived? either way it wont connect to any sites

says its... well look at the pic

mmm my main pc thats connectedm, this one im on now seems to have these settings

ozaudio · 8 Jul 2012 at 13:03

it seems the 1394 connection seems to be conflicking between the 2 pcs not allowing me to use the same settings for both pcs?

ozaudio · 8 Jul 2012 at 13:13

should the 1394 connection be enable or dissable?

the no connection pc is xp and working is win 7 , doesnt matter does it?

What about the DNS ips? there currently blank and this pcs making me quite angry right now.

ozaudio · 8 Jul 2012 at 13:57

ok so heres the settings now

ip ad 192.168.0.4
sub mask 255.255.255.0
default 192.168.0.1

Preferred: 208.67.222.222
Alt: 208.67.220.220

and guess what, it wont work, this is in XP, if i install windows 7 will it make any differance

also i notice above he says "ivp4 " but it doesnt show this on xp it just shows
internet protocol (TCP/IP)

Reuest times out for both ips

ill install win 7 and then start again..

would 2 pci adaptors in each pc work instead? im sure theres some in my mums shed ? connect to net throw my main pc instead

ozaudio · 8 Jul 2012 at 14:13

ive tryed swapping leads from each pc and i can connect to the net on this pc using either lead

ozaudio · 8 Jul 2012 at 14:17

im now in p2 and this pc works as normal

ozaudio · 8 Jul 2012 at 14:29

ozaudio · 8 Jul 2012 at 14:34

is it possable i could have incorrent drivers or anything? motherboard is ASUS A8N SLI, its pretty old.

ozaudio · 8 Jul 2012 at 14:44

would a pci network card possable cure this? instead of using the motherboards own

ozaudio · 8 Jul 2012 at 14:48

a few in my mums shed according to my step dad just means taking a trip there

btw - win 7 was installed at first, last night but that didnt work so installed XP instead, but ill try win 7 with the setting that have been said

ozaudio · 8 Jul 2012 at 15:12

yes i tryed swapping them as my first idea to fix the problem , seems i can get internet throw any cable on this pc.

hhd is wiped clean now - win 7 is about to load its files.

ozaudio · 8 Jul 2012 at 16:56
