Problem accessing web.
Ok here`s my problem.
At the moment i use a Dell laptop, my connection to the web is through Telewest Cable broadband, and it just uses a standard Cat5/RJ45 cable between the PC and modem..and doesnt require any setup, just picks up an IP address, and off it goes. So, i get myself a new PC. Build it up, Win XP, all the same software as this laptop. Plug it in...no access to web. :( I get a page cannot be displayed, everytime. Now, i thought it might be the network card/driver, so i tried a new driver. Didnt work. Tried another type of card..didnt work. Now, when i do an IPCONFIG, on both machines, the laptop gets a default gateway address, and the PC doesnt. The ip and subnets are different too...although i would expect the IP to change with the different machine. Any ideas guys ?? I`m totally stuck. |
You need to add your new network card mac address to the telewest datbase using self care. Or just phone them :thumb:

Whats self care ??
I`ve never had to do it before though... I sometimes bring different laptops home, and they work straight away. |
Hold that thought...just looked it up on the website. :)
Will try that. Thanks. :) :thumb: |
