Greetings,

Just replaced a power supply unit in my desktop, and now I cannot access the internet. I am ethernet connected to a 4 port linksys router.
2 laptops I use can use the router ports and cables ok.

I have automatically use DNS and obtain IP address as yes.

Here is the output of IPCONFIG /all
When I try /ipconfig release & renew, it times out looking for the DHCP server.

I can only ping my own IP address not the default gateway or any of the dns servers.

Any suggestions?

[Couriant]

is the default gateway correct?

can you connect to the gateway's web page?

[m.dealy]

From the laptop, I can use IE and connect to the admin page of the linksys router using 192.168.1.1 , which is the default gateway I assume.

[m.dealy]

It turns out that a service from Macafee was preventing IP traffic from getting to the default gateway. I shut down the macafee services one at a time from control_panel->admin_tools->services.
The service macafee_privacy_service when shut down would allow traffic to 192.168.1.1 via a dos prompt ping. When this service was up, I could not get to the default gateway or any where else.
I don't know why it started having this effect all of a sudden, it had been installed for over a year without issue.

Thanks
Mark

if you updated it, it may have caused it to change some settings.
