Hey!
This is the story- Last week on Thursday when the demo of COD4 was released I was getting really low download speeds. As a result I disabled my LAN network which connects the other computer in the house to the internet, thinking that my dl speed would be higher. I saw I was wrong and re-enabled the connection.
For a couple of days later the internet on that computer was acting funny. Internet based programs like Skype, MSN or ICQ would work, but no pages would load in the web browsers if IE or FF. Today I decided I'll try and figure out the prob. This PC is using Vista (the other is XP Pro) so I pressed diagnose on the LAN connection and it told me I had a problem with the LAN's IP address. I opened up Windows Help where they said that I should make sure the IPv4 is in correctly, if specifically or automatically. Mine apparently had a specific one, so I thought going to automatic would fix the porb. Unfortunately it might have made the situation more difficult because I get a message that the automatic IP address is no good and I didn't wright down the specific one.
Does anyone know what I should do? I don't believe that the specific IP came directly from my ISP because I upgraded and re-formated both PCs several time and never had to manually configure anything.
Help please?
