No connection to internet

I have a friends winXP home desktop that I am trying to connect to my
broadband network, which is comprised of various laptops/desktops, XP &
Vista machines over wired and wireless Belkin router. Friends machine is
configured with Automatic Private IP Addressing enabled. ipconfig shows an
address of 169.254.x.x, which will not see my network so I manually
configured TCP/IP with an address that will see my network and network
connections shows that it is connected, but it refuses to connect to the
internet. "Internet Explorer cannot display the web page". I don't know what
else to tweak. Firewalls are disabled. It won't connect in safe mode either.
Do I need to disable Automatic Private IP Addressing?
Many thanks

Hi
Is it really connected? I.e. can you type the core IP of your Router in the
friend's computer browser and see the Router's menus.
Did you try to disable temp. your Router's Security?
As for the friends Wireless, http://www.ezlan.net.wireless.html

In answer to your question, no I cannot connect to the router via the
browser and see menus. I have disabled all security features of the router
from another machine. I'm only interested in connecting my friends machine
via wired connection. What do I check next?
Thanks for your help,

Rip

The machine was originally configured with DHCP enabled and the connection
was configured to get it's IP from DHCP, but when that didn't work, I
resorted to assigning the IP manually. Pinging the router, www.google.co.uk
and www.google.com all return "Ping request could not find host ..." Under
TCP/IP properties, I have the Default Gateway and the DNS set to the routers
internal address and still nothing.

Under 'this connection uses the following items, I see a couple of
unfamiliar items: Realtek EAPPkt Protocol and AEGIS Protocol (IEEE 802.1x)
v3.4.5.0. Are those maybe getting in the way? To try connecting without
them, do I just untick the check box next to them, or do I have to uninstall
them?

If I go to cmd window and type IPConfig /release, I get the message "the
operation failed as no adapter is in the state permissible for this
operation." But Device manager says "This device is working properly". I
uninstalled it and reinstalled it to no avail. Help!

Thanks!
Rip

I would be tempted to set your friend's machine to get it's IP by DHCP
from the router if that is how the rest of your machines work - that
way you know you the settings for DNS and Gateway will be correct
(hopefully). If this is not possible, make sure the DNS and Gateway on
your friend's machine are both set to the router's internal IP.

Can you ping the router's IP from your friend's machine?

if you do a ping to www.google.co.uk what response do you get?

If you are sure you have network connectivity then it sure sounds like
a DNS issue to me.

The Aegis Protocol is used for authentication - normally on WiFi !
The Realtek EAPPkt Protocol is part of a Realtek network driver
installation but shouldn't be needed for TCP/IP connectivity.

Could you post a complete result from ipconfig /all

I am not sure but it sounds as though your TCP connection is binding
to the wrong device.

Try: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811259

If the above doesn't help, if your friend does not use the laptop to
connect to a corporate network, then you should uninstall Realtek EAPPkt
and AEGIS Protocol. Otherwise (or maybe also), click the "Wireless
Networks" tab, select your SSID in the list of preferred networks, click
"Properties" and then the "Authentication" tab. Make sure that the box
for 802.1x authentication is UNchecked.

LAN devices are enabled in the BIOS. The desktop has integrated adapter and
is the only adapter. Different cable returns same results. MAC address does
not appear in the routers list of attached devices. I installed a wireless
card for fun and it also refusues to connect. See my response to Lem. BTW,
my friend uses a wireless USB device to connect, which I don't have. Maybe
I'll have to get it from him.
Thanks,

Well that looks straightforward enough of itself, although I don't see
why it would be Local Area Connection 5.

Can you confirm that this is a desktop PC and that it only has one
network card - whether wired or wireless?

Going back to basics, you said in an earlier post that you could not
ping the router's IP. If this is the case
I would look at whether your physical connection is really working -
try a different ethernet cable, see if
the PC's MAC address appears in the router's list of attached clients,
and if you happen to have a spare
NIC try installing that in the PC and using that. If the current
Network port is built in to the motherboard,
check in the BIOS under "Integrated Devices" or similar to see if it
is turned off - that's caught me out before.

Sorry we are not finding a quick fix :-)

This is a desktop machine; sorry if I wasn't clear. I already ran a Winsock
fix, but tested anyway and it passed. Removing the two protocols yields no
different results. I just now noticed that the yellow light on the NIC
socket is lit. So is the green one, but the yellow is dominant. I've updated
the drivers for the adapter from the manufacturers site w/ no change. I'm
thinking I should get my hands on another wired NIC and see what happens.
Thanks for the help,

Rip

Integrated network adapter is whacked, I think. Installed a card. Joy.
