Network cable unplugged

Other Computers

do the other computers work when plugged into the port that's giving you the problem sorry if we already went over that there's been a lot of posts

I'm just trying to make this easier on you and I do realize that purchasing new hardware is a pain but in this case it's the easiest way to solve the problem. I can check the comptablity list for your router but if it doesn't have a specific firmware update just for Windows 7 it's unlikely to work properly for you.

the other computers work when plugged into that port
chev, i'll be glad if i get it working on XP again (wich is my current OS (i changed back)), will purchase a new router later on, when we also change computers

i used to have XP it worked, then i went to windows 7 it stopped working, now i reinstalled xp again and it didn't work

Changed Op systems instead of just replacing the router? Well I tried anyway LOL, good luck getting XP to work again.

hehe, changing OS is easier then replacing the router during hollidays

Compatibility List

Compatibility list are not gospel that just means that those items have been tested and do work if an item has not been tested to make it on the list that does not mean it won't work.

Reset Router

how long did you hold in the reset button on the router sometime it takes a good 20 seconds or so not just depressing and releasing the button

 

[axeowner]

about 30 seconds, wich should be enaugh (i also tried a hard reset, wich you normally do after a firmware update)

Router Settings

In case you were wondering, here is what happens when people follow my lead on replacing old incompatible hardware. It's been one after the other for months like this guys.

How do you explain this for "XP" it's not a matter of being incompatible at this point

 

[chev65]

Heck I don't care about XP, this is a Windows 7 forum. If you would have followed my lead in my first post your problem would now be solved.

Dmz is off (also ran the setup again, first, lost connection with all computers:sarc then ran it again, didn't change anything for the computer with the rror

also, as sad, i cannot get a new router during the hollidays (and after the hollidays, i'm kinda busy with school, getting a test week soon) i will get one after that week, but i need the computer for now (and ill check if it is windows 7 compatible)

Error

it's still giving network cable unplugged error.....

very very strange I am at a loss

 

[axeowner]

not the only one that's lost then
going to reinstall windows xp again (i changed too many configurations)
i think it is some configuration in the router that stops me from using the Internet, since i can connect directly trough the modem.

I Don't Know

I don't know you are able to use the other computers through the router so it's all strange very strange
