IP configuration problem

So, suddenly my internet stopped working (im using lan adapters you put in the socket). I ****ed up I think, I was dicking around and I manually changed the ip, subnetmasker and the default gateway to what my laptop has. I copied the dns server adres too, and I made an adres up for the alternative dns server. This obviously didnt do jack ****

So I changed the properties back to "automatically assign ip adres" and I went into cmd, I typed "ipconfig/all". It now shows NO default gateway, and it shows the ip that I copied from my laptop, the dns servers show: fec0:0:0:ffff: : 1%1
Fec0:0:0:ffff: :2%1
Fec0:0:0:ffff: :3%1
Now, I would realy like some help here, since im not a computer expert (as you probably could tell). Ask me what you need to know!

Anyone? I think a mod moved my thread to "networking", why is it moved from "free tech support" -->software, to networking?
 
"Fec0:0:0:ffff: :3%1" is an IPv6 address which almost all home users do not need or use.
A normal home user would see ipconfig results like:
Code:

Okay thanks

Okay thanks for responding: so what do I try now? As said, I dont see a default gateway, so and I also do not have an legit dns server adres? I cant realy copypaste my cmd here, since im posting this via my phone (pc has no internet :)) this al started when my pc troubleshooting said my ip configuration was wrong by the way, I think I didnt mention that.
 
Ok - - no internet at home - - you must then be using a cell-tower connection??

No man, we have wifi, only my LAN connection to my pc is not working, when I build my pc, I purposly didnt put in s network card because I knew I would be using a LAN cable because my router is downstairs and my pc is in the attic (barely any wifi there).
 
This is difficult without any access for the pc.

You need to access every tab in the
Local Area Connection
Code:
go to Properties,
scroll to Internet Protocol Version 4 and select
then click the properties button.

The general tab is obvious; select the first (*) radio button in each category
Then click the Advanced button at the bottom and you get three more tabs.
(1) IP Settings
*should show DHCP Enabled
*Gateway should be empty
(2) DNS
*both boxed areas should be empty
(*) append primary DNS suffixes
[x] append parent suffixes

[x] register this connection's address in theDNS
(3)WINS
[x] enable LMHOSTS lookup

NetBIOS settings
(*) Default


Click Alternative Configuration Tab
use (*) Automatice private IP

With the PC wired to the router, wait 30 seconds and run ipconfig /all and look at the very top:
Code:
Windows IP Configuration
  Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : JeffPC7
  Primary Dns Suffix  . . . . . . . :
  Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid      <<< these

  WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No    <<< important
  DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : socal.rr.com
 
Thank you so much for trying to help me, I checked your whole list and everything seems to be same, only after I run ipconfig/all it does NOT show:
DNS Suffix search list....: socal.rr.com
 
Im sorry, my cmd is in dutch.. if you know how to change it to english, or if you need translation, just let me know!

yes; socal.rr.com is per MY isp and yours will be different, but still present :)
 
Again, the IMPORTANT settings are:
Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid <<< these
IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No <<< are
WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No <<< important
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.5(Preferred) << what we need

209.18.47.62
NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Enabled
 
For some reason it is impossible to upload pictures to this site. That way I cant show you what my cmd looks like. Can you maybe drop your email and I can try to emaip them?im sorry this is so inconvenient

Ethernet-adapter for bluetooth-networkconnection:

etc.....
 
And this is what is says under "ETHERNET-adapter for LAN connection:"

Ethernet-adapter for LAN-connection:

I think I got all the important one, if I mistranslated words (my cmd was in dutch) ill try to translate them correctly. I hope that this fixes things
 
This is the issue --> "Auto. config. IPv4-adres.......:169.254.181.224 (preferred)"
the 169.254.x.x is a default address and it tells us that the DHCP request to the router did not
get a reply as that would have given you both the IP & the DNS addresses.

Simple questions: Make/model number of your router?
did you ever update the router firmware?
can other devices connect to it?
 
Thank you for replying to me again! It is a huawei router, its the: HUAWEI HG655d
I dont think I updated the router firmware.

Other devices can connect to the router, such as my phone and my parents laptop
 
Ok, that should isolate the issue to your PC.
The network and sharing icon shown upload_2015-5-6_7-25-21.png,
click and the open Network Sharing Center
you get something like upload_2015-5-6_7-27-49.png
BUT instead of the little house, what do you have between the PC & the Internet?

Between the pc and internet it shows two pc's behind eachother (both are grey) with a yellow triangle (with an exclamation mark on it) to the left of them
 
Driver issue;
control panel -> Admin tools -> Computer Mgmt
click Device Mgmt
[+] expand Network Adapters

you will see the yellow marker; note the labeling on the device.
double click this device, go to Driver tab, record
  • Provider
  • date
  • version
get a thumb drive, go anywhere you can get an Internet connection,
google the Provider, find the device that matches yours and find the driver - - should be more recent than yours. download to the thumb drive so you can take it home and install it.
