Friends Computer Wont Work on My Connection!

SneakyPanda · Post by **SneakyPanda** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 2:44 am

My friend's computer first wouldn't work through the router we set up, then we found out even connecting it directly to the DSL modem it wouldnt get a connection. He brought it over from UCLA for the winter break, there was a UCLA STC program or something on it but we removed it just incase and I dont think that has anything to do with the connection issue. Any ideas?
so far ive tried
testing the ethernet cable
ipconfig /renew times out when i do it
ipconfig /all showed an IP adress, until i did ipconfig /release

In network connections LAN properties is it set to obtain automatically?

Does he have 2 ethernet ports and only one working? Maybe your in the wrong one?

The host name of "swordyownsme is a bit odd.

Check and ensure that the primary comp that is linked to the router has the DHCP server function turned on in order that it can assign LAN IP addresses to the other comps.

You have to get into the router web admin.

Here is an example:
