Need someone who is good with Networking ASAP

[profdlp]

I did everything with cmd and still doesn't work. Also, I reseted my modem, and that didn't do anything.

What did ipconfig say your network address was?

If you mean my ipv4, it is 169.254.5.96

Cable Modem Troubleshooting Tips: No connectivity

If your IP address is in the range 169.254.xxx.xxx, then this indicates that the DHCP client in your computer failed to contact a DHCP server on the network, and APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing) is enabled, and it has automatically assigned you a private IP address in the 169.254.xxx.xxx range. With such an address, you will not be able to work with the public Internet, nor even read the cable modem diagnostic pages. Possible causes for this are:

• Your PC/Mac booted up faster than the cable modem did, and the cable modem was not ready for service by the time the PC/Mac sent out its DHCP request. You should not boot up your PC/Mac until after the cable modem has finished its start-up sequence (see Flashing Lights), or you should leave your cable modem powered on continuously.
• A misconfigured firewall has prevented a DHCP lease being acquired: see Personal firewall configuration for cable modems.
• You have recently swapped the computer or network interface card connected to the cable modem, and the cable modem is blocking your access to the internet: see Swapping computers on the cable modem.
• You do not have a working ethernet/USB connection between your PC/Mac and the cable modem. Check cable and plugs, check ethernet LINK lights are lit at both ends, check ethernet speed and duplex settings.
• Your PC has multiple network interfaces and it is sending DHCP requests on an interface other than the one to the cable modem. Check your network configuration.

My laptop has AVG and my Desktop has Avast. Avast has a web shield, should I uninstall Avast?

 

[profdlp]

I wouldn't uninstall it. If you have the Avast Internet Security suite I would temporarily disable the firewall and sandbox end of it. Then go through the ipconfig release/renew process.

I uninstalled and it still doesn't work. This is really starting to get annoying... Got anything else that might work?

Have you rightclicked on Network Connection in System Tray and run Troubleshooter? It actually fixes things in Win7.

Does your Network ethernet driver in Device manager say it is working? Where did you get the driver? Are you sure its a Windows 7 driver?

 

[profdlp]

Is the link light on your cable modem blinking and/or solid?

I'd go into Control Panel>>Network and Sharing Center and see what it showed at the top for your basic networking information. Then click the link to "Troubleshoot Problems".

If you can grab a snip of the Network and Sharing Center screen and post it here it might help.

Edit: Too slow in typing...

Positive it is a windows 7 driver. Also, wheb I ipconfig /renew, it says it cant connect to my DCHP server... I tryed everything and it still wont work.

Glad you are here though Greg, you have solved a lot of my problems before.

Sometimes I have to call my cable ISp & have them do a reset on my cable modem

 

[AssaultRifle]

Well, anyone else got any suggestions? Im almost ready to give up.

So do you have two computers connected to the same router/modem?

Desktop and laptop right?

And the other computer is working right?
------------------
Just read more information, connect you laptop that connects to the internet,
then do an ipconfig in cmd.

What is the IP address, subnet mask, and defualt gateway of your laptop?

 

[gregrocker]

What does it report when you rightclick the Network Connection icon in the System Tray and run Troubleshooter? (Choose Ethernet if it asks during scan).

Your monthly DSL charge includes tech support to get and keep you connected.

 

[AssaultRifle]

Okay, so I fixed it now. What I did was just hold my modems reset button for 5 seconds. I dont know why it worked on my laptop before though.

 

[macgyver2]

Some cable modems will hold onto the mac address of the last computer it was directly connected to, I get this when I connect my laptop to a cable modem after its had a wireless router connected to the modem. You can hold the reset or unplug it, make sure it doesn't have a battery backup as i have run into those as well.

I always recommend getting a router between any modem and computers this way you don't have connection issues with the modem as much. Plus they can add a little bit of extra security features.

Glad to hear you got it resolved.

So tell me, what was wrong with the help in this thread? http://www.sevenforums.com/network-...onnect-internet-desktop-but-laptop-works.html

You asked for help with the EXACT same problem, then started this thread a few hours later. What was the point? Not enough replies for you? We weren't good enough helping?

Either way, not only is this disrespectful, it is against forum rules.

3) No useless posts. This includes: Thread bumping, multi or cross posting the same question in different forums, useless one liners, flaming, and Trolling.
...
5) Multiple or repeated posting in order to increase your post count is not allowed.

Post/thread reported.

Have you talked to your ISP yet? After about 1/2 hour of basic troubleshooting, I would call them to eliminate them as an element.
