When posting a question on a home network problem include as much of the following information as you can. It makes it a lot easier to give you an answer with the information.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Make and Model Number of your Router/Modem/Switch.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
{ipconfig /all}
If you cannot access the internet with the problem PC, then you will need to paste the results into something like notepad and then copy onto a machine that can access the internet and post results here.
We would like to see the results from ipconfig /all post back the results in a reply here
Hold the Windows key and press R, then type CMD then press Enter to open a command prompt box (A new dialogue box - black with white font, will appear on screen )
In the command prompt window that opens, type the following command:
Note that there is a space before the /ALL, but there is NOT a space after the / in the following command.
ipconfig /all > network.txt & network.txt
It will export the results to notepad and then automatically open notepad.
Now all you need to do is copy and paste those results to a reply here.
To do that:
From the notepad menu - choose Edit - Select all
All the text will be highlighted
Next
From the notepad menu - choose Edit - Copy
Now go back to the forum - reply and then right click in the reply box and paste.
