Basicly, it goes like this;



Computer mooses up (kept rebooting itself, solved by removing HD, placing in spare machine, running virus scan and removing virus')

Then have to use Windows XP disk to recover it, and don't lose any data.

Now I can't appear to get on the internet, at all.

I'm able to access the local network, and share files etc, just no internet.



We use a 4way switch. Internet comes into the switch, and obviously it does its stuff (well, is meant to). The net works on all the other machines except mine.



Tried plugging the cable direct into the modem, still no joy. We're on NTL, so the net's always alive. Have attempted putting in IPs etc manually, but to no avail.



In the command prompt I can ping the default gateway (apparent that's a good sign? yes, no?)



Any help at all would be sweet...



Thanks all!

you are trying to get multiple machines on the internet with NTL (same isp i use) without a router? can't be done without 1 machine acting as a router, ntl only give out 1 ip at a time.

It's a Lynksys Broadband Router, which says it has a 4-way switch.. It's always worked before, and the problem only started after my computer died. It's also currently working with 3 other machines connected through the switch/router. I have already tried just my computer connected to the router.

I can still ping the gateway (which I assume is the router), but when I try ping a website/IP it says it's unable to connect to Host.

so you have the cable modem connected to the router's WAN port, and all the pcs on the LAN port i assume since the other 3 work
since the other 3 work, and yours doesn't, your networking config is probs messed up, go into tcp/ip properties on the network card and make sure both ip and dns is set to auto

Tried entering it myself, and selecting auto. Doesn't work either way... One difference, if I tell it to 'repair' the connection when it's set to auto, it says it's unable to renew the IP Address.

download winsock xp fix, rebuilds it all, might sort it if a virus or something has recked the networking.
