ok well try connecting direct, and leaving the router completly out. If it works then its a setting in the router that needs to be changed. I take it the network engineer at your work is not smart or something?

Its a really small office so I guess I am the network engineer LOL

ok, i didnt mean that in a negative way, i was just wondering where he was through all this

@Dr.Stevil

thats probably exactly what it is (i was just having some major issues with that a few days ago)

ipconfig/all on the old comp to find it’s Mac/network addy

then on new PC, right click on the “Local area connection” under internet connections and goto properties

click “configure” then I believe “advanced” and then click on network address and enter your old mac addy and you should be good to go

or you could call your ISP and register the new mac with them

there is no option to click on network adress and enter anything???

just make sure its all set to dhcp, not static ip.

God I wonder what that dell tech makes, that should be the first thing to check.

where would I do this check for the dhcp?

yeah, dont even worry about it… sounds like your having other issues. I did have that same error though “limited or no connectivity”

like I said, it may be a fluke… try shutting everything down and powering it back up. (including modem/router/ect)

were you able to connect the PC directly to the internet without the router?

I believe in the properties for the internet connection… it should have some checkboxes, one of which being DHCP

Just tried to use the internet with no router and still get the same message so its not a router problem

[Dr.Stevil]

strange man… dont know what to tell ya… maybe call up your ISP and see what they say

Problem solved, you nubs.

Don’t think so big when the problem is small.

DHCP server not on, guy who set up network assigned IPs, turned on DHCP, all good in the hood.
