So my computer was extremely slow, so I finally decided to reformat the hard drive and reinstall windows. The problem is now I can't connect to the internet via my modem. Its a Westell WireSpeed modem, and I have Gateway 500S series PC. I have tried various things such as unplugging modem and restarting. I have tried the Winsockxpfix. When I connect the modem to my laptop though, it works perfectly fine, and before I reformatted my desktop, it worked perfectly fine (although it was a bit slow).
I try to renew my IP address through ipconfig, but it gives me the error: Unable to contact your DHCP server. Request has timed out.
This is my ipconfig /all information:
WIndows IP Configuration
Host name: home
Primary Dns Suffix:
Node Type: Unknown
IP Routing Enabled: No
WINS Proxy Enable: No
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 1:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix:
Description: Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection
Physical Address: 00-07-E9-A6-17-82
Dhcp Enabled: Yes
Autoconfiguration Enabled: Yes
Autoconfiguration IP Address: 169.254.172.183
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway:
I have no antivirus software or firewall program enabled. I have checked to see that my DHCP and DNS services are enabled and my network connections say I am connected, but I am not receiving packets, I am only sending them.
Any help would be much appreciated!
