- Go to Start > Run and type cmd then click OK. In the command prompt window that opens, type ipconfig /all then hit the enter key. Write down the output from this command or select it and save it to a txt file, then copy this output into a reply to this message.
i did that command and i have attacked the copy of what it said:

C:\Documents and Settings\Jenny>This is somewhat confusing. This shows that you are connected on a wireless connection. Is that the case? If so, the ip address you are getting for the wireless connecdtion is not one I would expect that you would get from a router.
Of course your problem as stated in your initial post was that you can't connect by ethernet. The reason for that is probably that you have your ethernet network adapter set to use a static ip address that may have worked on one network, but would not work on another network. Still I am only guessing here, because you have never told us anything about your network setup and I feel I am working with incomplete information. In any event, my guess is that to get your ethernet connection working you need to set the TCP/IP properties of your Local Area Connection to obtain an IP address automatically. To do this, open Network Connections, right click your Local Area Connection and select Properties. Find the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), select it, then click on the properties button. Put a check mark next to "Obtain an IP address automatically", and, if necessary, put a check mark next to "Obtain DNS server address automatically".

- my problem looks almost like this only my broadcom 440x do not detect internet automatically . i have to write all dns. ip. and etc. when i do it it works but after reboot it wount work i have to disable/enable connection only then it works. but autodetect do not works :(
The other thing that is odd is that you have no default gateway under your wired ethernet connection, and obviously no DNS servers listed. If you are setting a static IP address on your wired connection stay away from using 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1. These addresses are commonly used by routers. Try using something in range of 192.168.0.101 - .200. Most routers will default to using the .100 - .200 range for their DHCP. Your router's ip address will be your default gateway address. But im am not sure how you are connecting to the internet, are you using a router at your home, or are connected directly to your modem. A little background information would be great.
- It is possible for your router to block you, using MAC address filtering, but this is not enabled by default, you would have to enable this. You will need to make sure your router has DHCP turned on and that the router is correctly configured. I would suggest looking at the router manufacturer's website, finding the operators manual, and follow the initial setup steps.Message Edited by hector78 on 08-25-2008 08:59 AM

Go into a command prompt and type in ipconfig /all
Make sure you are getting a valid ip address with a subnet and gateway and your ISP's DNS ip addresses.
You can also try using the ping command to see if you can get out. Such as ping google.com
