Hello.

I am having some trouble connecting to the internet/network using the Computer Ethernet port.

We are using a Netgear Wireless Router, however this computer is not wireless enabled. A 5m ethernet cable runs to the computer. This setup has worked in a previous address, however since a move is no longer working.

Internet connection is not a problem as wireless works fine. (wireless laptops)

Ethernet cable is not a problem as it works fine for other computers. (wired laptop)

Ethernet cable replaced with new one.

LAN connection shows correct time connected, connection speed, packets recieved and sent.

IPconfig shows valid IP, Mac and mask addresses.

Internet connection settings the same for other ethernet wired computers on the network

Both Firefox and IE7 do not connect and display "cannot display the webpage", not the usual DNS error.

I have released and renewed the IP and flushed the cache, i have also used the windows XP diagnose connection fault on the ethernet connection, all 'ok' etc.

Any help would be much appreciated. It seems strange that the computer connects to the ethernet port and shows packets recieved and sent but is not able to connect to the internet. Its also strange seeing as prior to moving address the exact same setup worked fine.

Edit:

After further checks i can login to the router home setup pages and when looking at connected devices the router shows that the computer is connected with the correct IP address, mac address and computer name. I uninstalled and re-installed firefox too with no effect on internet access. Other programs that access the internet also do not connect.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
