[Venths]

I have to thank you very much for the help and your long time effort to help me

 

[Hobbit]

Ok - lopback test was ok (basic test of your network card) - can you put laptop on and do an ipconfig and post results?

 

[Hobbit]

No problem with helping you - it's my job and my passion...

 

[Venths]

Am replying you from my Laptop only using another Wifi. Should I connect that LAN to this and check IPCONFIG?

 

[Hobbit]

yes please

Here you go:

NOTE: Laptop is running on Windows XP SP 2

sorry for the delay with the reply-it is looking towards a corrupt/incorrect network protocol (or trojan/virus) but is it possible that you have or could get a live linux cd/dvd and run this? do you know about how to do this?

 

[Venths]

I dont have a Linux source now. But how will i use it in Windows 7, even if i get it??/

And what should I try?

 

[Hobbit]

I use a live ubuntu cd for testing, download the LIVE iso from ubuntu website and burn to disc. then boot your pc with the disc in and set to boot from optical drive - this will then load into memory ubuntu os (it wont alter your windows installation) you can then try connecting to the internet (it uses firefox). It is a handy 'tool' to have as if this works it will eliminate all hardware problems. BUT it will need a little bit of getting used to. A bit long winded for now but you will have it for future use.

In the meantime - have you altered any settings since your windows installation - specifically to do with communication protocols...

 

[Venths]

Nope, i didnt alter. The only funny thing I did was, I kicked the cable thrice to unplug it from the NIC... LOL.

After that this happened.

* What is the file size for live ubuntu?

 

[Hobbit]

Check NIC connector! also it it possible that tcp/ip is corrupt try this How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
Ubuntu size is 699MB from Download Ubuntu | Ubuntu

 

[Hobbit]

whoops forgot about the basics - is your network adapter driver correct - try reinstalling/rollback getting the latest.....

 

[Venths]

Yes I have already tried resetting TCP/IP by referring to the same.

And yes the drivers are correct it was working well till last week for months.

Hello,

Am ready with Ubuntu. Can you advise me further?

Although your english is good, it is your second language?
So when you say you "kicked the cable thrice to unplug it", you mean that you literally kicked it with your foot? And you haven't been able to connect to the network since?

At the risk of sounding obvious, maybe you have physically damaged your NIC? Did that not occur to you when it stopped working after being kicked?
