Unplug your ethernet cable, unplug your cable modem. Plug in your cable modem, plug in the ethernet jack.
How long did you have this combo working before it took a dump on you? And can you access http://192.168.100.1/ from your laptop when it is on the internet? |
The "Asus" is the motherboard for the desktop - that is where I'm running Wireshark. The MB is an Asus PL5D2-VM motherboard.
The desktop has been running fine for about a month (clean install of OS). Reinstall included updated Norton AntiVirus and all MS/WinXP updates. It's actually running very lean - all I have is MSOffice ('97
), Photoshop 6, Cyberlink PowerCinema (TV tuner) and DVD Solution, Norton A/V, ACDSee (photo viewer/editor), and the driver for my printer. I haven't gotten around to installing much else since the re/re.
Like I said, it was running hassle-free and right in the middle of a 'Mud session it went south for no apparent reason. No porn, gaming, or P2P software on this PC, either, so I'm not sure where any malware (if that's the problem) might have come from. I've been on the road for work for the past couple of weeks, so all I've used the desktop for, literally, has been 'Mud, checking my email (webmail server), and.... well, I guess that's it. I hadn't made any changes, or installed/uninstalled anything at all.
I did do the unplugging thing before, but I'll give it another shot....
edit to your edit: I'm running XP Media Edition, not Vista.
