Unable to access the Internet

Hi all,

I am new to this forum. I have a problem with a computer at my office. For this computer I have 2 network cables from 2 different service providers. For example if one network goes down I can alway change to the other network.

From few days ago i cannot access internet from one network, when I plug the second line it works fine. I did a ping test and it was a faliure. When I plugged my laptop it works fine. IP method I use is dhcp. I tried by putting a static ip and it still does not work.

Can somebody please help me with this? i think it is a problem with m computer's settings

Is your tcp/ip settings on the LAN connection set correctly, like obtaining ip automatically?
