I have problems connecting to the Internet depending on how I hook up my computer system.
HOOK-UP #1 :
Cable Line-In to Modem In
Line-Out of Modem to Computer “A†Ethernet Input
THIS WORKS
HOOK-UP #2 (Did work at one time)
Cable Line-In to Modem In
Line-Out of Modem to Router In
Line-Out of Router to Computer “A†Ethernet Input DOES NOT WORK
Line-Out of Router to Computer “B†Ethernet Input DOES WORK
Computer “C†which uses a wireless card DOES WORK
*************************************************
I attempted to install my ISP high speed software on Computer “Aâ€.
In trying I got the following message.
Network adapter's TCP/IP setting may contain outdated IP information.
Renew IP configuration.
Next was an automatic attempt to reset TCP/IP settings which failed.
I attempted to install my ISP high speed software on Computer “Bâ€
And it worked with no problem.
****************************************************
Question: What is the problem with Computer “A†that prevents me from connecting to the Internet when using HOOK-UP #2. Is it as simple as making a change to the Windows XP Internet Connection for Computer “A†to fix the problem? Or is this a Hardware issue? Computer “A†by the way is a HP Pavilion a305w.
