I cant seem to get a computer online...
specs: abit nf7-s using onboard 10/100 with winxp installed... its connected to a 16port netgear router... the other computers on the router work fine...
i reformatted, installed winxp, sp1, nforce 2.45 drivers... everything works fine but i cant get online... the MCP Lan controller is working fine in Device Manager, TCP/IP is installed. I tried clicking on "Repair Connection" and it gave me a "can't renew ip error".. so i tried going into command prompt and did the usual "ipconfig /release, ipconfig /renew" and it gave a me a DHCP can't renew ip error message... i tried uninstalling the network card and installing it again and no go. I even tried using a Linksys 10/100 PCI slot card and it didnt work (so its gotta be software related).. i also tried different lan cables and hookking up the computer to different ports on the router and to the cable modem directly
any suggestions?
