Hello,

I have a brand new machine with windows 2000 pro with all the service paks
and security fix's on it. I have an on board NIC card and have a workgroup
that I have joined and can access all the resorces on the network with no
problem. I am unable to access the internet. I have done a release and
renew and I have re-installed IE6 but still nothing. I have tried to install
another NIC card just to see what would happen and then I was unable to
access the network as well as the internet. Anyone have any suggestions as
to what is going on here?
 
Hello!
problem. I am unable to access the internet.

How do you want to access the internet?
I guess you have a network, with one internet connection, so you have
some router there.

How do you obtain the ip adress? is there a dhcp server or do you have
to set up it manually?

In both cases: check the gateway (if you can ping it) and check the dns
settings. (i.e. try to ping 217.160.165.63, if that works, but you can't
reach a domain, as google.com its a dns thing)

It all matches - and everyone else can go out to the internet. I have like
30 computers at that location and I have one plugged into the spot this
machine was, any other suggestions????
 
Hello!

A misscoonfigured (personal) firewall?

Is the physical connection ok (try to plug in a cable, whcih works on
another computer).

Some strange firewall rule at the server?

Are you using DHCP for the other computers and this one also? If not,
then I would suggest that you try it or that you recheck your fixed IP
settings.

One other thing - are you behind a firewall? With 30 systems I would
expect you to be behind one - do you have enough licenses for the
addition of this machine to access the internet?
 
Then, as suggested below, check your Firewall policies. Failing that, do you
have a proxy server?

Does any other machine work when it is plugged into the same port? Have you
eliminated all issues from the client.
