Hi There
Newbie to these forums but have done some research within but can not find answer.
I have just purchased a Dell optiplex sx270 running XP home sp 3 from ebay for a friend.Before giving it I have updated it on my home network connected to my cable modem and router with no problems.
Taking it to her house the pc will not see her Maplin adsl2+ usb modem 4 port router/switch which works fine with her previous pc. I have tried connecting via USB and ethernet to no avail. I just get the cable is disconnected message/low connectivity.Whilst this is happeneing the modem-router looses the adsl light and searches across the 4 inputs.
At this point I found this lovely forum where a common starting point seems to be to do a stack reset so I did this as directed but to no avail.
I have done ip config onto a word document but cant work out how to upload it to here.
However none of the normal ip stuff is on there as it says media disconnected for the local area connection.
Hope you can help
Regards.
