Ar bo then?Originally posted by StarPuppy:desktop and laptop same ip mask and gateway?
Everything can be the same, except the MAC address and IP address. Get these the same and you see what happens.
You certainly do need a lot of revision.

Try repairing the connections. Right click on the network and select Repair.Originally posted by OO_OO_OO:when i ipconfig my othercomp, theres a blank under default gateway and it says "autoconfiguration ip address"
tt comp cant access the internet.
on this comp, there is a default gateway and it just says "ip address", no autoconfiguration.. and of course this comp can use the net.
this problem suddenly appeaered outta nowhere can someone please tell me how i get the default gateway. btw im using linksys moden. -

Still waiting for him to come back and see what happens.
He's having problems with getting his default gateway, nothing to do with his IP address probably.
Don't have to tweak the TCP/IP connections settings to use a static address, that might give more problems instead. -
Hmm... reread the whole thread.Originally posted by OO_OO_OO:okok summary.
2 comps, one can access net, one cant.
working: laptop(wireless)
not working: desktop(wired to router)
when i ipconfig in command prompt,
laptop has "IP address" desktop has "autoconfiguration ip addres"(some screwed number)
laptop subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (same as in router settings)
desktop subnet mask is 255.255.0.0
under default gateway, desktop shows blank, laptop shows usual no.
so i am accessing router config page from laptop
I will need you to do something.
Can you please do an ipconfig on the PC that can't access Internet?
Please enter ipconfig /all and post back the details.
This is an important step.
Edit: I'll just post everything.
After doing an ipconfig /all, note down the IP address.
If you get an IP address such as this: 169.254.y.z (y and z are numbers from 0 to 255), a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 and is using Windows XP Professional, your IP address was assigned by the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) feature of Windows XP Professional.
This means that no DHCP server is found, and therefore, there would be no default gateway.
If your IP address is returned as 0.0.0.0, the DHCP Media Sensing feature override is turned on because the network adapter detected its lack of connection to a network, or TCP/IP detected an IP address that duplicates a manually configured IP address.
Now, if there's nothing wrong, proceed on.
Go to Start > Run and type in cmd
Type in this command: ping 127.0.0.1
If you get no replies, it means:- [*]The TCP drivers are corrupted.
[*]The network adapter is not working.
[*]Another service is interfering with IP.
Try disabling your protection programs (antivirus, firewall, anti-spyware) to make sure that nothing is interfering it. If it doesn't work, it means a hardware problem or TCP drivers are corrupted. Uninstall the TCP drivers and reinstall them. (XP CD is needed)
Next, ping your router's address (192.168.1.1)
If this fails, it means there's a problem with your hardware (definitely not router, your laptop works fine)
But don't troubleshoot hardware first. Proceed on to the next step.
Open cmd again. Type in pathping yahoo.com. If this fails, move on.
Open cmd and type in netsh interface ip delete arpcache
Then redo all settings for this computer.
If you still get no default gateway, try a hard reset.Some versions (like the BEFSR41) have a reset pin that you poke with a paperclip end through a small hole in the front panel labeled Reset. Some versions (like the BEFW11S4) have a reset button on the back. You have to hold these down for about thirty seconds to hard-reset the nonvolatile RAM. This will lose your configuration settings.

can't detect your default gateway eh?
why not force it to connect to specific gateway?
check your gateway IP in your laptop, note it.
den replace your preferred dns server ip with your lappy's gateway ip. i assume your router automatically assign IP address.
if its not, force it by giveing static ip, and gateway.
below the img is ONLY for replacing your preferred dns server ip with your lappy's gateway ip.so if u need to give a static ip, and force into a gateway, depends on your router IP restrictions, and then set the Ip according to its range. the gateway is the same as your lappy one. submask is 255.255.255.0 by default otherwise depends on your router
-
I'm not sure forcing will help. Someone has tried that and it didn't work. 169.254.x.x IP addresses by default in XP Pro will run into problems.
From Microsoft,If your local IP address is returned as 169.254.y.z with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0, the IP address was assigned by the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) feature of Windows XP Professional. This assignment means that TCP/IP is configured for automatic configuration, that no DHCP server was found, and that no alternative configuration is specified. This configuration has no default gateway for the interface.
Live specimen. The person tried that and it didn't work. -
OO_OO_OO, have you got it sorted out?
-
hey thanks guys.
but i gave up and got a new router lol.
workin fine now
