Yesterday, the internet and phone at my house went out all of a sudden. Since this is an isolated outage, AT&T won't send a crew out to fix it until Monday >(

My neighbor's is working fine, so I figured I'd just take my PC to his house, plug it in, and everything would be fine.

WRONG!


All I did was remove his PC and put mine in its place. I have Auto-detect LAN settings on, but it can't make a connection for some reason. I ran ipconfig in command prompt, and it gave me an IP and a subnet mask(whatever that means) but when I go into network connections, the local area connection 2 icon says "Limited or no connectvity"

The worst part, is that even if I get advice, I have to write it down, unhook my neighbors pc, put mine in, try it out, then switch pc's again if it doesnt work to get more advice. Sorry if I seem demanding, but I'm very frustrated over hours of messing around with this. The more detailed and fuller instructions you guys could give, the better.

TYVM in advance!
 
what ip address are you getting? you're most likely getting the default 169 address.

does your neighbor have just a cable modem or a router as well? you ARE set to DHCP right? I dont know if thats what you meant by auto-detect...
