the router's working because she's obviously been posting on it from another pc ths entire time.

from this computer, type in ipconfig and list the default gateway here. also, enter that in the address bar of your browser, and see if it display the router's configuration utility.

do you know if you're running 3rd party firewall software on your computer? norton/zone alarm? which version of windows? xp?

btw, the link lights mean you're getting juice from the router or modem (in this case the router), so that's good. however, we know it works on occasion.

i think it's software on your computer that's killing your connection. answer my previous post and we'll figure it out.

DHCP clearly isn't doing its job properly if she has an IP but not a default gateway. and i'm assuming shes getting a proper IP and not a 169.254 address.

go to start - settings - control panel - administrative tools - event viewer

under system look for any warnings for "Tcpip" (under source column). double click the message and paste what it says

she already said she's getting an auto-config ip...read the thread buddy.


meat, the router recognizes you from past sessions. your problem is that you can't stay connected and it drop, for whatever reason.

i'll ask again - which your firewall/security software are you running?

that might be your problem katie

if your computer is set for APIPA, then it will automatically search for an IP address in the 169.254.0.1 - 169.254.255.254 255.255.0.0 range, to bypass dhcp. this resets ur ip when dhcp is not available. you can tell if APIPA is configured if when you type ipconfig, you get AUTOCONFIGURATION IP ADDRESS = ENABLED

if u want i can help u on IM

if you can't communicate with the router, dhcp server isn't reachable, and APIPA is automatically enabled. disabling that is done by troubleshooting the connectivity, and i think she has 3rd party security software that's knocking her connection out.

wow im really confused now
