As it stands the cable, the modem, the router and the PC are all suspect. Nothing stands out so tell us what parts you changed and what you suspect.
Hey!
I've used an ethernet cable to connect to the internet at my apartments all summer. Now all of a sudden I'm having problems--my computer is showing an error when it's trying to acquire the network address. The error says "invalid ip address" and lists the ip address as 0.0.0.0 which I know is not correct. Could this be a problem with my McAfee antivirus software, which I currently installed? Could it be another problem? I don't know where to even begin. After about half an hour, the internet FINALLY connects. I don't know what's causing the delay. THANKS!!
