Acquiring IP address
Hi
I have 2 Dell PC on the same LAN with DSL Gateway providing DHCP. First DELL PC working fine for 1 year.
Second DELL PC just installed, cannot acquire IP address. Fitted with Intel (R) PRO/100 VE NIC. The LAN Hub shows green led indicating connection.
I also tried a wireless LAN and had same problem
PC is Dimension D1144
Help Please.
Rob
PS I did not request LAN connection on the order as I intended touse Wireless. However having seen the Intel NIC was on board I decide to use it. Will DELL have disabled the card in some way ?

Thanks for reply.
I have a copy of the invoice and it states D1144 Dimension 4700 - Hope that gives you enough.
Windows XP V5.1 Service Pack 2
Device Manager shows adapter as working.
Adapter is showing in Network Properties as TCP/IP protocol, Obtain IP address automatically, Obtain DNS server address automatically.
Let me know any more info required

Maybe it's because I don't understand the dsl gateway. Is the dsl gateway assigning the IP address and the subnet mask? Second, do you really nead the ipV6 tunnel adapter?
