My laptop can connect wirelessly to my network, but it cannot connect via it’s wired NIC. Actually, skype will still work, but outlook mail and browsers do not.
The cat6 cable is ok. I have tested it on another computer. The NIC is ok. My wired connection works just fine at my other house (let’s call it Location 2), which has a similar setup. So, in summary…
At Location 1, my wireless connection receives an expected DHCP IP Address of 192.168….
At location 2, my wireless AND wired connections both receive expected 192.168… addresses (I don’t connect them at the same time)
At Location 1, here is the problem, my wired connection receives a crazy address. When I ipconfig /release and /renew this wired address, it doesn’t change.
Any ideas? Thanks.
