Can't connect to internet with win2000

[Tattoo67]

My laptop was just upgraded to win200 pro and won't connect to the Internet. I connect through a D-Link DI-704p router, my carbus is a 3Com 10/100 lan model #3ccfe575bt,I get a signal to the card letting me know there is a connection but when I look at the local area connection it tell's me that I am connected, the speed at 100mbps, then it shows that it send at 81 but does'nt receive.

What I'm doing wrong or what should I be doing to fix this problem?

Thank's for your help.

When you look at the connection go to the support page. Does it say "ip automatically configured" and then the ip is a 169.x.x.x number? If it is then your dhcp server is not working. Get back with more info and i may be able to help fix

I tried to ping my router and it said "destination host unreachable", then I tried ipconfig/release and I get this message " all adapters bound to dhcp do not have dhcp addresses. The addresses were automaticly configured and cannot be released."

Thank's for your help.

It sounds like the machine can't reach the DHCP server. Are you sure it's a good cable you're using?

Open a DOS window and type:

IPCONFIG /ALL >C:RESULT.TXT

Open C:\RESULT.TXT with Notepad and copy/paste the entire results here.

It say:

Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix.:

as for my cable, I even tried the one that connect to my other computer(one that work) and to plug directly to the ADSL Modem.

Thank"s for your help.

Something very odd is happening there, because the autoconfiguration address should have been 169.254.x.x, 196.x.x.x would not be valid there. Are you sure you didn't change anything in the copy process?

I'd try removing everything in Network Properties, including the NIC, and reboot. Let it discover all the hardware again and see if that helps. Something is scrambled there...

Well I'm thinking of formating the hole drive, since it's a new install I don't have anything installed yet but when I tryed before I was'nt able to do it since it's in NTFS and when I try the format line in DOS "format c:" it say "Format cannot run because the volume is in use by an other process. Format may run if this volume is dismount first. All open handle to this volume would then be invalide. Would you like to force a dismount? y/n " Then I press Y enter and I get this "cannot lock the drive. the volume is still in use.

Thank's

PS.: I already tried to remove all the network property and it did'nt work.

You cannot format a drive you've booted from.
