Hi guys and girls,
i'm having this problem with my modem or NIC (network interface card)where the NIC cannot be detected by the modem. I recently bought a new nic so that shouldnt be the problem. Because of the fact that ethernet cannot be connected, i cant go surf the internet. bare in mind tho, this undetectability only occurs every once in a while, usually right after switching of the modem or computer. As soon as i restart the computer or the modem is switched off, then turned back on, the ethernet led goes out. this is a link to the picture of how the modem is suppose to lookthis link http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i...
and this is what I get every other time

oh ya, usually when the modem cant detect the ethernet thingy, i would have to switch off the computer and modem, wait 6-12 hours for it to 'cool down' then start it back again. u can see how this is really annoying as it would take a very long time to connect back to the internet if anything power outage or something happens.
Thanks in advance, if you guys can help will be much appretiated. :)
Turning off the modem sometimes requires rebooting the PC after you turn it on again. Open a command prompt and run ipconfig /all once when it disconnects and once when it's connected. Compare the two outputs. Post them here if you don't understand them.

I would recommend leaving the modem turned on. There's no advantage to powering if off.

how come everytime i run ipconfig /all , it runs then a second later closes?
and if i let the modem running when shutting down computer, the ethernet led automatically turns off but the power and DSL is still on.

Ok, this the the output when my modem and all that is connected

i'll send the other code in a little while, maybe tomorrow since i probably cant use after shutting the modem for a while

I see a conflict. I see one adapter with an internal IP address and Streamyx with an external IP address. I don't anything about Streamyx. It's looks like some dialup service in Malaysia.

"since i probably cant use after shutting the modem for a while". So, I'll ask... why do you keep powering off the modem?

i'll repeat again jennifer SUMN, either way, by turning off the modem OR switching off the computer/restart/reboot/shut down, the ethernet led on the modem will Will tun off.
and this is the output when i have the modem on but the ethernet led is turned off,

C:\Documents and Settings\Azzaim>this output is exactly the same as when i turn off the modem and i mean literally off, no power whatever on the modem, and do the ipconfig thing

It shows that the NIC isn't getting an IP address but that doesn't explain that streamyx thing.
0
I'm only going to say it one more time. I saw an IP address conflict. That has to be resolved. What is streamyx? How does it work?

tmnet streamyx is a high-speed broadband Internet access service which provides 'always on' connection to the internet with speed/bandwidth from 512k up to 4mbps. i know you guys are like 4mbps!!! ONLY?? yayaya, our country suck.lol here's the link if u wanna know more about it,
0
Is streamyx your only internet connection? Do you have a router besides the Aztec modem in the picture? If so, what brand is it?
0
I don't understand why the ipconfig output showed internal and external IP addresses and name servers at the same time. It should be one or the other.
When it's working ok, open the browser and type in the URL box
192.168.1.1
and press enter.
Does the interface open? If it does, check the settings.

I'm not sure what to look for, the interface opens. here is the list for links to go to...

i got this from the user manual. I think my modem can detect more than one ip address. Not so sure what it means but u might know.
Static Connection
Static connection type is used whenever a known static IP address is assigned to the router. Additional addressing information such as the Subnet Mask and the Default Gateway must also be specified. Up to three Domain Name Server (DNS) addresses can be identified. These servers resolve the name of the computer to the IP address mapped to it and thus enable you to access other web servers by typing the symbolic name (host name).Up to 3 DNS addresses can be identified. What does that mean?
0
DNS addresses are the name servers that resolve domain names to IP addresses and back again but that isn't helping at the moment. There are usually more than one but if the external IPs are used, the internal isn't. That's what confused me about the output.
How many ports are in back of your modem. In other words, how many places are there to plug in cat5 cables? I'm starting to think that it's a modem and a router all in one and not just a modem.

ouh ya... it is a modem and router all in one....sorry ..but i think it is..cause when i was looking at the status of the modem, it shows the download upload speed thing and also these status for the router.. let me show you.

cat5? is that the one where i install the nic and graphics card? if it is, i have 4. One for graphics card, the other for nic and the other 2 empty
0
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catego...
That's what a cat5 cable looks like.
Who supplied the modem/router? How long have you had it? If streamyx supplied it, I would ask for a new one.
0
ouh, the telephone cable thingy. i only have one, the network interface card. So u think there is a problem with the modem?
0
It looks like a telephone cable but it's not. It's a little bigger.
At this point the only way to tell what's happening is to try different hardware. Either try another PC for a few days or try another modem.
0
alright, thks for the help. i guess for know i'll just leave it as it is, thks anyway. maybe in a few days, i'll change the hardwares..
0
ok, now i think i know something more about the modem problem. i think the problem is the that the modem takes a long time to get the ethernet lcd on. i think maybe it has to do with slow detection or something. like now, i switched on the modem and it took about 2 hours, then all of a sudden, the lcd turns on. i dont know maybe there is a problem with tthe com?
0
As I said, I would try other hardware. That's the only way you'll know what the problem is.
