IP addresses of all zeros are normally caused by one of the following.

Diagnosis:

1. DHCP Service not running.
2. Duplicate IP address on the network.
3. Bad NIC card drivers.
4. Defective NIC hardware.

Resolution:

1. Check Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. The DHCP Client service should be Started and its Startup Type should be Automatic.
   
2. Turn off ALL of the computers and other network connected devices, restart (power cycle) the router, then restart all the computers and other network devices.
   
3. Check for upgraded drivers and/or reload the Network drivers.
   
4. Replace the Network Interface Card.

it is none of the above drivers are fine as the card is running annd the dhcp is running as it work fine with the other card


and new card is fine as i tested it it in another computer it works fine


and i have reloaded the computer not that long ago

and i ahve rebooted all the switches and router as it make no diffents

"drivers are fine"

How do you know that?

Maybe I'm being overly cautious, but since you tried that adapter in another computer I'd do resolution 2 above.

"reloaded the computer not that long ago"

Not familiar with that term; if you mean reinstalled Windows, did you install the proper chipset drivers (from Drivers CD, Recovery disk or computer manufacturer's web site)?

 

[Johno4566]

no i am not goign to reload it agian as i only did the other day and jsu got every thing setup right and yes thier is only one set of drivers for this motherboard so the chipsets drivers are installed righ


y mothborad is asus p5vdc-mx rev 1


and it nto from a company i only buiild computers my self as buying rebuilt computer re not that good i know the card drivers are fine beacse the smae drivers work on my main computer
