I cannot access an Internet in one of my computers

Can someone help me figure it out this problem? I am using a linksys router (model no. HPRO200). It is an old model and wired linksys router. I am also using a motorolla cable modem. FYI, My internet provider told me that they used a dynamic IP address.

I have no clue why one of my computers cannot access an internet. My first computer that is having the problem is telling me that there is no internet connection.

I will really appreciate if someone can let me know what the problem is.

Thanks,

Janice

On your computer having the problem, we need to determine if the connection to the router is good. To do this:

Click START > RUN, and type cmd (hit enter)

A black window should come up. (known as a command prompt)

within that window, type ipconfig and hit enter. This will give you your PCs IP address along with some other information.

If your cable is bad, you will receive a "media disconnected" message. (try another ethernet cable)

If your connection is good but your PC is unable to get an address from your router, you will have an IP address of 169.254.x.x (x = a number from 1-254) If this is the case, try resetting your router by first powering it off/back on. If that doesn't work, you may want to try a reset to default settings. (usually there is a tiny button on the back of the router you will need to push in. Check Linksys site for specific info on your router model)

If your PC is getting an IP from the router, it will be in the 192.168.x.x range. If you have an IP in this range, your router connection is probably fine.

If you are using dynamic ip address makes sure in that computer that are not connecting has no static ip address, go to my network places and hit propertis, and select tcp ip4 and hit properties, make sure its selected as dynamic not static, if this not working this means, there is cable problem, or network card problem. or try to change the port from the router could be the router port is bad.

Good luck

AOL Broadband Cable

The following routers are the only models that support the AOL Broadband Cable service. Note: All Linksys routers support AOL DSL connections due to the standard PPPoE login and authentication connection type used with that service. Please be sure to check the version number of your router (which can be found on the underside label). Only the specific models and versions listed here are supported by AOL Cable: * BEFW11S4 * BEFW11S4 v2, v3, and v3.2 * BEFSR41 * BEFSR41 v2 * BEFSR11 * BEFSRU31 * BEFSR81 * BEFSR81 v2 * HPRO200 (Available from AOL only at this time) You must Enable the "AOL Parental Controls" option located in the Security tab of the web-based Setup utility pages of these routers in order to get a connection using AOL Cable. You may access the utility by visiting http://192.168.1.1 in a web browser and by logging in using the router's password (by default, the password is admin).
