My neigbour have a really strange problem that I have been working on for the last 3 hours.....
He have made a clean install of XP Pro and all worked fine.
He then started to set up his internet connection using the PPPOE
dialer in XP.
All works fine defining everything and then he tries to connect to his ISP. It goes on for about 30 sec´s and then it comes back and says "The remote computer is not answering!"
He then checks all cables and things like that and when he can´t find anything wrong he gives me a call.
When I get there I checked out his IP using ipconfig and discovered that he is using a XP generated IP (196.x.x.x)
Tries to reset IP, restart DHCP and so on, nothing!
Reinstall NIC, checks cables, everything anf still nothing, d*m!
Calls ISP support and they makes me do everything I allready have done again.......
It all ends with that they say that hes NIC have locked it self and wont accept a IP from the modem
Have anybody xp-erienced(.org) any similar problem with NIC?
Setup:
Compaq Deskpro PIII Celeron 266
128 Mb SDRAM
11 Gb IBM harddrive
Unex NexNic ND012C NIC
Hercules 3D Prophet 4500 64MB
Hercules Gamesurround Muse XL
Windows XP pro (not yet patched up because of above...)
