Installed new Motherboard.... now no internet!?

Help.

:(

More info can be really useful
Mobo model?
OS?
Did you installed the drivers?

ASUS P4GV-LA

windows xp home

I'm looking for the drivers now, now on a different computer. I can't seem to find them though... not even at asus

http://members.driverguide.com/drive...riverid=241222

these seem to be the ones I need?

I've read a comment that said it can be.

the board is made by ASUS, but made specially for HP. That suck real time.

What type of internet do you have? Are you using the onboard NIC?

Some ISP's require you to register the MAC address of your NIC in order to get online. If you've changed mobo's (and therefore NIC), then you may need to re-register with your ISP.

Telus uses this system with it's DSL for example.. I'm sure others do as well.

I have cox, should I give them a call?

and i dont know what an onboard NIC is

After a quick search, the mobo use the realtek rtl8100c drivers.
Witch can be found here LINK

i burned them to a disk and installed... still no internet. :(

for some reason its only displaying "local area connection 3"

rather than 1 and 2.

maybe the mb is DOA? everything else seems to be working just fine.

almost forgot... i called my isp and they said everything is running strong and the only thing that would need to be changed is if i changed modems.

so it see the connection, but no internet... what's your setup, are you using a router? Or you just change the computer from the modem?
In one case r the other, try reseting your router and/or modem. It can be a problem with one of them

Edit: I had a problem once with 3 computers connected to a router. 2 of them had the same IP, so only one could be connect at a time. (And it was automatic IP address... shame on MS ;) ) A reset solved everyting

well right now, i keep switching the ecable back and forth from my desktop(internet not working) to this laptop.

No router or firewall

Have you enabled the LAN port yet? In the BIOS?

Onboard NIC means that the network port is built onto the mother board. NIC is "network interface card". :)

Here's some help on Cox Cable. It's titled "Moving Cox internet service to another computer", but it's relevant to you, as it's a new motherboard, so essentially a new computer anyways.

*Edit* Good call Bucko.. I didnt think to mention that. :)

Onboard LAN [Enabled]
Onboard LAN Boot ROM [Disabled]

ok, let's troubleshoot it correctly:

1: BIOS = OK
2: Drivers = look ok cause the connection is shown
3: Firewall = no firewall (Have you diseable the windows one?)
4: Have you tried to repair the connection? (Get a new IP?)

It's a pretty much new hd because I reformatted right before the computer died completely so no SP2

I tried just clicking "repair" and it failed. then I tried ipconfig /release and cmd froze up for a couple min then said something i dont remember. Ill check really quick though. I did that before the new drivers so maybe that will make a difference.

Also, the cable Im using right now for this laptop is the one I'm using for the desktop so i dont believe and of that would make a difference but its worth a try

ipconfig

read my ip, subnet and default....


ipconfig /release

"the operation failed as no adapter is in the state permissible for this operation"

ok, so the connection is not set. Can I ask you how you installed the drivers?

Downloaded them with the laptop, burned them on a cd, then ran them on the desktop.

I suspect a driver issue too.
Only because in the time this thread has started to now I have got my new PC connected to the net and it took installing new drivers, enabling the LAN port in the BIOS and a reboot, but once done all I did was connect my cable up and I was away.

Did ipconfig again and it didnt read the ip/submask or default. I forgot I tried setting it to use a certain IP instead of automatic.

Tried ipconfig /renew (since it was already dropped) and it gave me "an error occurred while renewing interface lacal area connection 3 : unable to contact your DHCP server. Request has timed out.

It says "Local Area Connection 3
Enabled

I tried hitting repair again and it failed.

could perhaps the old motherboards drivers be conflicting with the new motherboards drivers??

Let's try something.
Go into the control panel
Select "System"
Under the Hardware tab click on Device manager
then go to the Network adapter
If the drivers are installed, you should see Realteak...
If the drivers have not been installed, you should see a peripheral with a yellow !

in both cases. go to the driver tab and then update drivers. Follow the steps to install them.

yep, they're installed but i can't connect to the internet with that computer to update the drivers.

http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...Fid=6&PNid=6#1

theres a list of driver updates but I'm not sure of which one to install

ok, the first link I provide was for the verion 5.6... I've found the 6.63 version on the realtek website HERE

Hope it solve it

just read your last post
Auto installation program (support WinXP 64/Win98SE/WinME/Win2K/WinXP ver.663))(Submission ID: 1245904)

Why do you have 3 Local area connections?

The easiest way to correct this is removing all of them and creating a new one.

it's not 3 local area, but local area #3
it means it's the third installation. the last number wont change anything

I think you don't have the Realtek Drivers Installed. .

Here

i restarted after the update...

now it changed the name to local area connection 2 all by itself...

i tried ipconfig again. it reads:

connection-specific DNS suffix . : blank
autoconfiguration IP Address. . .: ###.###.###.###
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . .: ###.###.#.#
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . .: blank



I tried ipconfig /release and it just said the same thing

tried ipconfig /renew and it errored

even thought it was reading the connection before, I tried a usb connection just to make sure that wasn't the problem... still no internet.

those are the old ones

Install windows agian on a separate partition.

You may want to try: sfc /scannow
. .maybe your sys file integrity has been compromised?

i'm very tempted to fill this thing with a brick of blackcats and gas then finish it off with my 12 gauge...

I cant think of any reason why it would do this bs

Have you tried a different network cable?
