Unusual network problem, local IP techs can't solve

[Thor25]

Hmm under device manager, computer > I have ACPI x64 based PC with a 2006 driver. That seems really wrong or am I high.

 

[Thor25]

Also under ASUSTeK Computer Inc. - Motherboards - ASUS M3N72-D

Am I only looking to grab the chipset drivers? Its a beta to boot.

Try here and let it scan your machine.
NVIDIA Driver Downloads - Automatically Detect NVIDIA Products

For Asus drivers go here.

Hmm no net on the desktop, so can't use that unless theres a dl'able version?

 

[chev65]

Yes that may present some problems getting those drivers, I'm surprized the Windows 7 default drivers aren't working better.

I still have no idea what this system is "system specs" or why it once worked and now doesn't work. I would need your system specs to find a driver.

Could be as simple as hardware failure but that is less common of a problem.

 

[Thor25]

Which still begs the question, why did it work fine at my brothers. Damn computers lol.

 

[chev65]

Yes it's very confusing I agree, router firmware-driver compatibility comes to mind.


This board should be working and it shows the correct Nvidia driver updated and should work.

Not so sure about the router though.

 

[Thor25]

Drivers didn't help.

So maybe try a full windows reinstall, then if it doesn't work time to buy a new motherboard?

 

[chev65]

I would go with the reinstall at this point, if the same problem appears then the boards eithernet or chipset is messed up or something.

Running the command sfc /scannow command might be helpful or you can try a start up repair or a repair install from the Windows CD.

Here's the router specs, Thomson Gateway (preconfigured from ISP)


Product Name:TG585n v2

Serial Number:CP0927CH1MR

Software Release:8.4.1.C

Software Variant:AD

Boot Loader Version:1.0.2

Product Code:3664120A

Board Name:CANT-7
DSL Modems & Gateways - - THOMSON TG585n (Internet zone)

Which specs did you need from my computer?

 

[Thor25]

Cool, I'll get the reinstall done tonight and post progress tomorrow, thanks again for all the help so far.

i noticed your subnet mask setting is different for each machine, but its probably not that simple. every machine i've used, the setting is 255.255.255.0

 

[chev65]

Yes kword the default gateway, IP and subnet are all messed up. Dwarf already posted the correct subnet for the static ip but to no avail.

Those Thompson modem-routers are suspect and finding updated firmware can be a real chore.

I don't know much about them because they don't sell them here in the US but I have seen many complaints about them not working right with Windows 7.

 

[Thor25]

Damn, I was hoping not to hear that about the router, I moved here recently from Canada and have never heard of them either.

Preconfigured routers are completely new to me.

 

[chev65]

The fact that this machine already worked at your brothers house and probably with a different router tends to point to a router or modem problem. But I'm really not familor with the settings on that router so it's hard to say for sure. Seemed like most of the reported problems were with 64 bit Op systems.

What is your ISP?

 

[Thor25]

ISP is Einstaklingar | Vefur Símans

 

[Dwarf]

Unfortunately, my Icelandic is non-existant. However, we have another member who is Icelandic, so I've asked him for assistance.

In the meantime, what I am after, and the reason why I asked for the name of your ISP, is to get the relevant information for configuring a router in order to be able to work with the ISP. Given that your system connects without problems at your brother's and that your router works with your laptop leads me to think that your current router isn't, for some reason, compatible with your system.

 

[Thor25]

Thanks Dwarf! If you need me to get some info from my ISP let me know, I can get the ball rolling with them.

Can you enter your router configuration? This, from my router's configuration page, shows the information required (outlined in red).
