    Networking problems!

    Hi all, while since I shown my face around here!

    I have just reformatted a laptop in the house and came to wire it up to the router for updates etc, it's on the same workgroup.

    Plugged it in, IP was assigned (by DHCP - no conflict) , default gateway correct, tried to open IE, nothing. Hmm, ok.

    Went to my routers network address, Page Cannot be displayed...Hmmmm!

    On examination the network connection has a MAC address of 00-00-00-00-00-00

    I can browse accross the network to my desktop, and vice versa, ping etc

    I cannot ping the router.

    Anyone got any ideas? I'm stumped.

    Try resetting the router. I usually just turn mine on and off to reset it.

    You should be able to ping the local side of the router, the IP addy would normally be something like 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1
