You shouldn't have to worry about dns if it is setup for dhcp, anyway to check to see what the dns settings are is right click my network places, then click on properties. A box will pop up then click on Internet Protocol(tcp/IP) to highlight it then click on properties, then another box will pop up, then make sure both obtain ip address automatically and obtain dns server address automatically are both selected then click ok on all three boxes and it may ask to restart, if it does then let it reboot, and if the problem lies in the dns settings hopefully thisd will take care of it.

No luck

Both of them (comps) already had both of the options selcted

However I did notice

THat when I go into properties on Network connections a box comes up and there appear to be 4 options of Network or internet. It Says NEtwork connections at the top of the box.

On the comp that works in the box it says this

"DIAL UP (Strange I dont have dial up)
1)England ppo3 etc. (says disconnected)
2) Dial up connection (says disconected)

LAN OR High speed internet
3) 1394 connection (says connected)
4)Local area connection (says connected also says 'Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC')"


ON THE OTHER COMP THE ONE THAT INTERNET DOESNT WORK:

"Broadband
1) Broadband connection (says disconnected also says WAN miniport (PPPOE)


Lan or High speed internet
1) Local area connection (says enable, firewalled also says NETGEAR FA311 Fast ethernet adapter)
2) 1394 connection (says enabled also says 1394 net adapter)"



thats it ... i think this could be the root of my problems please have a good look at this ask if you want any more info screen shots of the box if neccesary are these stats conflicting perhaps??? does firewalled do anything???

thanks for your time plz help!!!

Also Just to make sure every1 understands

The computer with the problem work can still get on the internet (ie it can get to google) but it goes extremely slowly and is unusable for searching any other pages.

Anyone know what I should do now??????

[greffov]

have you switched the cables once just for a try? Maybe your cable is damaged. Does it go near devices like a TV? there can be a lot of noise on the cable perhaps.

I dont think I have a cable to switch it with have you read my last post (the long one)I think the problem has omethig to do with that.


Thanks for your time
