Solved Cannot set Static address

[AddRAM]

Hi, remove the adapter driver in Device Manager.
Tick the box to delete the driver software and re-boot.
This will re-set the connectivity properties.

I already did that, had no affect.

We can`t use ip6 yet.

Are you saying you have ip6 connectivity ?

Post a snip.

That doesn't mean that the computer isn't trying to use it. The thread that I posted said that the button might be disabled simply because ipv6 is enabled. Try disabling it.

 

[AddRAM]

Verizon does not have ipv6 in our area yet, so that`s why none of my PC`s can connect to the net with ipv6, but that doesn`t matter, there`s no speed gain anyway.

But anyway, nothing I tried allowed me to work with the ip address on this pc so I`m reimaging it.

Post results when done.

Thanks everyone for your input.

Hi,
Okay I missed the Verizon bit
I did notice the poor internet speed at 100.0 mbps though when most of us show 1.0 gbps

 

[AddRAM]

100 Mbps is limited by my switches and most of these pc`s in the house are old, only my Sabertooth can do 1 Gbps, but it`s connected to a switch that can`t do 1 Gbps, so It`s not worth the effort. After a reimage on that particular PC I can do whatever I want to the ip address so all is well

Hi,
Yea I doubt anyone in the u.s.a. can get 1.0 gbps out of our isp's :mad2:

 

[AddRAM]

100 Mbps is more then enough. You`d have to get 1000 Mbps in order to have a 1 Gbps network, does anyone out there have that ?????????????????????

This is what I get from Verizon, so having a 100 Mbps network is fine.

Hi,
Outstanding upload speed

Do you see the 57 download.
My download is half of the 7.
That is before peek times set in !

I just changed all the ports on my Verizon Fios Quantum Gateway to 1000 Mbps, they were all at 100 Mbps by default.

Now I either have to run a Cat5e cable directly to the computer from the router, or buy a new Linksys 1000 Gigabit switch to have a 1000 Gbps network.

My current switch up here only has 100 Mbps ports, it`s quite a few years old, but it was free

Again, it would be a waste of time and done out of sheer boredom, as a 100 Mbps network is fine

But like I always say, if you got it, use it

Don't you have to have 5e or 6 cables for gigabit speeds?

 

[AddRAM]

I have 5e but not in the length I need, I`m working on that now

I need about 75 feet for a straight run up to the 2nd floor.

Yes, I posted a link on cable speeds earlier.

Cat5e is fine for a Gigabit network, but Cat6 is optimal if you can afford it.

Snip Snap Done 1 Gbps

But web pages load much slower with 1 Gbps, maybe it has to work with IPv6 and Verizon doesn`t have that here yet, have to research that, so it`s back to 100 Mbps and they load way faster.

 

[townsbg]

You probably weren't getting 1 gbps from your isp anyway.

 

[AddRAM]

towns, you are totally confused, a 1 Gbps network has nothing to do with your ISP.

It`s the speed at which all the computers on the network can talk to each other, 1000 Mbps.

This is my speed from Verizon, which, once again, has nothing to do with your Local Area Network speed.

Just renewed our contract and went 75/75 but with the NIC set to 1000 Mbps on this Sabertooth the web pages still load way slower then using 100 Mbps, I don`t understand it.

My HP Pro 6300 SFF is not having any issues with web pages loading fast at 1000 Mbps.

That was exactly my point. You aren't getting a gig connection to the internet because your provider isn't providing it.
