Question:
connecting cable to laptop
Hello.
I bought Dell Insprion9300 with the wirless network card
Im currently using desktop with Cox cable for internet
How can I connect internet or cable to my laptop? Whenever I connect the the cable to my notebook. It says "limited or no connectivity" and "network did not assign a network address to the computer"
Would you tell me the solution for this. Oh. and i have
Broadcom 440x 10/100 integrated controller in my laptop.
Answer:
The first thing i would do is reset your router if you have one.
The next step would be to go to the network connections and right-click on the connection you are having problems with, this will bring up a little menu next to it. From there click on repair connection and it should work.
cheers!

Re: connecting cable to laptop
Sounds like you dont have a router; but rather are using the little black box they gave you. What you could try is click start>run and type cmd and in the command prompt type ipconfig /release "local area connection" (use quotations); and after that type ipconfig /renew "local area connection" . You have released and renewed the IP address; and if I am correct and you arent using a router but the black box (modem/bridge) this will re asign the public IP address to your pc. But I would recomend getting a router and using dhcp; and if you have a router (dlink/netgear/linksys) make sure dhcp is turned on.
