Hi,
I have a bog standard dell deminsion 1100, and it has problems recieving any data on the network, as it doesnt assign itself an ip address.
so first off i fully re-installed windows, with no luck.
obviously ive tried all hardware envovled replaced computer with another of the same model and everything worked ok, proving router and cable worked ok.
next i assumed fault with onboard network adapter, so i brought a pci-network card and installed that and disabled the on-board chip.
and even though with a new install of windows and a new network card still the same problem... doesnt assign itself an ip address and doesnt recieve any data.
and natually everything is setup to auto-obtain ip etc etc
so i now assume a motherboard problem... but does anyone else have any ideas...
thanks taking the time to help me
