After reinstalling Windows did you install the chipset drivers before attempting to install drivers for any other devices. After installing the chipset drivers did you install the drivers for your ethernet network card and wireless network card? Are you attmepting to connect to the internet by wired or wireless connection?
If you mean did I install the driver for wireless card, I did. That's why I thought that my connection was working OK. Both icon in the system tray said that I had a signal quality as being excellent.
Windows IP configurtion
Host Name......................: szabo-inspr5150
Primary DOS suffix.............:
Node type......................: Unknown
IP routing Enabled.............: No
Wins Proxy Enabled.............: No
To help troubleshoot this problem, 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.
Are you sure that the output you posted is correct? There are too many numbers in the IP address and subnet mask.
Is your broadband service cable or dsl? If it is cable, have you reset the network? To do this, turn everything off. Wait 5 minutes. Turn on the modem first and then wait another few minutes. Then turn on the the router and finally turn on any computers that will connect through the router.
What happened is that I typed the widow content to a notepad text file then cut and pasted to this forum. Obviously I did a lousy job of cleaning up the copy. Anyway I just spent 2 1/2 hours in a chat with a 3 DELL techs trying to get this problem straightened out. I got disconnected twice requiring and new tech! What a pain! Anyway the last figured out that it was my Norton Firewall that was causing the problem. Because when it disabled everything worked fine. So I'm in the process of trying to set my Norton Internet Security 2006 so I can access the 'net while providing a firewall for protection!
