I recently received a HP Compaq desktop computer (was used in a doctor's office) and was trying to connect it to the internet. I managed to get it to connect when hardwired to the cable modem but really need it to run through a wireless router in order to use my laptop as well.
When I connected it to the wireless router, it changed the IP address to an invalid IP, so, using D-link's suggestion, I entered a static IP address.
Then the network connection disappeared!
I tried entering ipconfig /all in the command window but it only returns "Windows IP Configuration".
Even when I connected the computer directly to the modem again, the prompt gives me the same response.
I have no idea what happened.
The system is:
HP Compaq dc7100
Windows XP Pro
Intel Pentium 4
Under network adapters (which is hidden):
Broadcom NetXtremeGigabit Ethernet - Packet Scheduler Miniport
Direct Parallel
WAN Miniport (IP)
WAN Miniport (IP) - Packet Scheduler Miniport
WAN Miniport (L2TP)
WAN Miniport (PPPOE)
WAN Miniport (PPTP)
There are no X or ! next to any of the adapters listed. All are enable and all are "working properly".
So where did the network connection go???
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
