Windows 7, hub, dsl modem.....no internet access

Ok, well think I've been beaten to this but can you reset your modem/router... Usually theres a reset button, the manual will explain how.

Can you also post the make/model of it please -> Again may help us and others help you

After manually putting in the ip the default gateway showed, but there's still no lease, DHCP enabled is no, DHCP server or DNS Suffix.

The modem is set up in router mode I believe.

Is the DHCP Client service running on that box, check Services. check that it is set to Automatic and started.
Check Network List Service and Network Location Awareness and Network Store interface Service.

But remove his firewall and antivirus.
The sudden connection issue can only be caused by a handful of things.
My bet is on the security software deciding the internet wasn't safe and blocking it.
It wouldn't be anywhere near the first time I've seen that.

I Agree with this except that when he connects directly to the modem he get a IP. If the firewall/Anti Virus was blocking it would be blocking all the time.

You need to check the modem and see how many IP address the DHCP is set to hand out.

It is the only thing I can come up with.

Ignore my other post about the DHCP Client service. If it wasn't running you would never get a IP from the modem even when connected directly to it.

I would also suggest you DUMP the HUB and get a switch. Or better yet set the modem into Bridged Ethernet and stick a real router in there.

OK I looked at the SS. Very weird.
The only thing I can come up with is something changed on the modem/router and for some reason you have used up the available IP address being handed out by the modem/router DHCP server.

One way to check that is to turn everything off, even the modem. Then turn the modem on then that one problem PC. It then get a valid IP turn the other pieces of equipment on one at a time and see if all of them get a IP.

Just tried that and still no connection. I'd like to do a fresh install but my luck would be that in a months time I will be back in the same position.

Have you logged on to the model and checked the DHCP server to see how many IPs it is set to hand out?

I've seen 169.254.0.197 listed under ipconfig when windows can't get an IP address from anything. Also if you setup a static IP you want to use one that isn't in the range handed out by your router. I wouldn't use 192.168.2.10 as the router may have already assigned that IP to another device. You can't have two devices with the same IP address on your network. Try something like 192.168.2.100. Have you swapped cables? Have you tried any of the Troubleshoot options in the network and sharing center?

That's what I was thinking, I've tried it with and without the firewall/anti virus running and I get the same result.

The modem is a SpeedStream 5242-Series. It doesn't tell me anywhere about the DHCP server. I has 2 DNS server addresses????

I've never had this problem before and I run my laptop at times on the system as well.

Please bear with me as this is the frist time I've been this deep into internet settings. I deffinitlly want to learn so I'm all ears, or eye since I'm staring a comp screen.
