!!! CONNECTION PROBLEM !!!

[chowmein]

my brother for reason that are unknown disabled the LAN Connection. I currently have a RP114 Router running on 3 computers. Prior the to disable, it was working fine. I have took steps in trouble-shooting.

1. I changed the IP address to fit that of the router port. IE, 192.168.0.X
2. I "ipconfig" the other comps to determine that i am indeed using the right IP
3. Network Share Folders appear and i can access data from other comps, but still no Internet.
4. Re-created a Home Network, thru network connection and thru Internet Explorer.

i'm thinking its an adapter malifunction, but it was working fine just minutes b4 he disabled it. Any advice?

The IP address should be set to automatic as the router hands out the IPs.

It's something in the water, I swear. Last night one of my wireless pc's wouldn't connect, so I did a soft reset of the router.......spent the next 1.5 hours trying to get the internet back on, and finally went to bed after having given up. I could ping the other computers on the LAN, but nothing outside. And then, it was working just fine this morning. I still don't know what was going on.

Not sure what you mean by disabling it, what did he do?
Is there a reset on the router? If so reset back to factory then reconfigure.

Make sure that there isn't a switch to change to crossover cable that is depressed or vice versa.

Are you using DSL or cable modem? Idf DSl you may need to fill in the pppoe information.
