I don't know how to delete the Local Area Connection and renew the network connection ?
Any more idea's ?

No IP addy allocated for Local area connection3? DHCP is not enabled.

Are you supposed to be recieving your IP addy dynamically or statically?

From the control panel:
Open "network Connections"
Right click on your local area connection3 and select "properties"
Scroll down and highlight "Internet Protocol TCP/IP"
Click on Properties
Is "obtain IP address automatically" checked, or is "use the following ip address" checked?


Can you also Open device manager and expand 'Network Adaptors'.
Hit the 'Print Screen' key on your keyboard.
Open Windows 'Paint' / click the 'Edit' tab on the top menu display and select 'paste'.

On the 'file' tab select 'Save As' and save the image to your desktop.

Open your browser, get on a free uploading site and upload the image.....

"obtain IP address automatically" was already checked.
Any more idea's , just let me know. Thanks for working with me for so long !!!
Do I need to remove the Ethernet card I put in this machine ? I put it in there just to see if I could get hooked to the internet . It is made by Linksys.

Yeah, shutdown, remove the Linksys NC100 fast ethernet adaptor and reboot.

We will use the Intel pro 100 ve for attempted connection.

Go to the control panel again - network connections.
Disable all the local area connections you dont need (there are too many icons in your system tray as it looks like you have run through the connection wizard a few times) just keeping one.

Open properties for that Local Area Connection

Select Internet Protocol(TCP/IP) and select properties

make sure that "obtain IP address automatically" (as you said) and "obtain DNS server address automatically" are checked, and click OK.

Go back to device manager and right click the Intel adaptor and select properties and confirm the device is working correctly.

Right click again and Disable the device and then re-enable.

Also, unplug the power to the cable modem and let it sit for a few seconds and re-power it.
Wait about 2 minutes before trying to connect after that.

If this dont help then unplug all power sources to the puter, remove keyboard / monitor cables etc, open nearest window and dispose of unit with 2 hands (only kidding dude.....not. lol).

See how ya go with the above~!

Progress !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It says I'm "connected" now. No limited connectivity anymore !!!!!!!!!! But , when I tried to get on the net, by way of Google.com, I couldn't. I also tried Microsoft.com and that din't work either.
But it says that I'm connected ! The little monitors in the tray at the bottom show one blue screen.......and thats a first
Any suggestions on how to surf the net again ?
I'm going ahead and putting "protection " back on here here when we get it "SURFING".

Forgot to tell ya that right after I got all the viruses off this computer, I updated it to Service Pack 3. Could that be why I can't get on the Internet just yet ?

Wooot! Great News.....At least we have a connection now!

What exactly do you mean by 'It didnt work'?

When you open your browser (IE7) do you get an error message, and does the same thing occur with another browser......try firefox 3 and see what happens.
