Rep Power: 17   |  Need help with Internet troubles I just moved into a new place (rented out a room in a house with other students). There is a cable modem on the 2nd floor that is plugged directly to a router that has ethernet cables going from it to every room in the house (six in total). The router does not have wireless capabilities, so my basement room has a super long ethernet cable winding along the floors and stairs down to my room. Only problem is that everyone else in the house can connect to the internet expect me. I thought that it may have been my ethernet cable had some problems, so I used a shorter one to connect directly to the router, but still no connection. Anyone know what could be the problem? I'm using a Toshiba A70 laptop, P4 2.8, 512mb, 60G HD. I use Firefox, and I don't have any viruses on my computer. Any help will be much appreciated.

Car: 2006 MY07 Astra SRi Turbo Rep Power: 58 | Try the laptop on one of the other connections that is known to be working and with a cable also known to work. Are you able to ping the router or the other pcs on the network? Do you have any IP addresses (gateway etc) setup on the ethernet connection that might not align with the router's? Try opening a command print (assuming you're running windows) and run ipconfig - compare your results with those of a working computer.
