limited or no connectivity with LAN

[dhawanmayur]

Hi,
I am using onboard LAN connection (Realtek Gigabit ethernet) and have installed WinXP SP3 .My modem works fine with a LAN connection from my other PC. I am unable to fix the problem. I have tried the following operations:
1. checked the connection of my port with modem -- this is fine
2. tried to do ipconfig /release all and ipconfig /renew all -- This does not work
the connection hangs. It says something like unable to reach DHCP server.
3. used winsock utility -- This does not work the problem still exists
4. tried command netsh int ip reset and netsh winsock reset -- Both of these does not work.

When I see ip address thats assigned it is -- 169.something and my ip settings they are set to "obtain IP address automatically"

I am unable to figure out the problem. Please help.

thanks in advance

check the cable ... if it's OK then disable the lan card ... and enable it

if this doesn't help then manully assign IP address from the range of DHCP server and see if you can ping modem
