mentioned workgroup, so you must have a LAN and a router.
what is the ISP connection (DLS,Cable,dialup)?
how was the system configured(Network wizzard, manually)
and does the router provide DHCP suuport?
go to run->cmd and enter
ipconfig /all
and report your findings
change the MASK to 255.255.255.0ccsTech said:here is :
ip address: 192.168.1.116
subnet mask: 255.255.255.1
default gateway: 192.168.1.1
this is quite normal. Unless some other system does a RENEW before you do,i have tried to obtain ip by both manually and by DHCP, still can't access web.
it can ping other computers, DHCP server, DNS server, WINS server, outside web's IP, but can't ping the web's name, such as "ping google.com". It can view and share files with other computers and server.
Every time i release and renew the ip through DHCP, I get the same IP.
