More Connection Problems after installing new Ethernet card

[Navaros]

This saga has been chronicled in the following two threads:

Thread 1
Thread 2

My ISP is blaming everything under the sun for my connection not working properly. First they blamed my modem. I am now sure it's not my modem causing the problem.

I installed a brand new Ethernet card. Now when I boot up I get the message in my system tray "Limited or no connectivity" and if I click on status is says: "This problem is occurred because the network did not assign a network address to the computer."

I am using Windows XP Pro SP2. I've read this is a common problem among SP2 users, yet I've never seen any way to fix it. I know I somehow fixed this problem when it occurred a few months ago (when I first installed the OS) without turning the notification off, but I can't remember how I did that.

I am not sure if this relates at all to my previous problem as listed in the above linked to threads, or if this is a new problem that is freshly occurring as of my installation of the new Ethernet card.

I tried doing /ipconfig release and then /ip config renew, but when I do the "renew" part then it says: "An error occurred while renewing interface Local Area Connection 14: Unable to contact your DHCP server. Request has timed out."

My questions are:

1. How do I fix the "Limited or no connectivity" problem without simply turning the notification of it off?

2. Is this related to the problem listed in the above linked threads?

3. How do I finally make my Internet start working normally again?

Forgive me if you've already done so, but did you install the network adaptor found on your mobo cd?

I presume it would have done so but I am not specifically sure if it did so or not.

I used the default install of the P5W DH Deluxe CD.

By the way I just noticed that my new Ethernet card is does not have any IP address. How do I make it get one?

In Device Manager I have a yellow question and exclamation mark next to "Other Devices", "RTL8187_Wireless" but I have no idea what that is or how to fix it or if it has anything to do with this problem.

 

[KGB]

Okay... let's start from the beginning (yes. I've read your other threads).

- Are you using your new Zoom DSL modem?
- If so, which model is it?
- Are the LEDs on the modem indicating the connections are okay?
- What make/model network card did you install?
- When you plug in the network cable do you get a link LED on the NIC?
- Did you uninstall/disable the onboard NIC?
- What is the condition of the network cable? (Brand new, home made, cat chewed?)

 

[Navaros]

The link lights are always on perfectly just as they should be.

The lights on my NICs are also perfect when the cable is plugged in.

I was using my Zoom modem for a few days and noticed that with it my connection problem remained identical as it was before. The model is X4.

So I switched back to the old Dlink modem and arranged to ship back my Zoom modem.

Actually when I check my Zoom modem now I noticed that I do get the renew IP address on my Zoom modem, which is the same IP address I had to logon to to configure it initially via the Admin ID and PW supplied by my ISP for that configuration site.

But even so, the connection problem is the same.

When I plug in my Dlink modem, neither of my NICs will get an IP address as they cannot contact the DHCP server. Yet I can still use my connection with my Dlink modem even though the NIC has no IP address with it.

I installed a Dlink DFE-538TX NIC.

I did disable the onboard NIC when using my Dlink NIC.

It's not the network cable because I've tried with both my own old network cable and the brand new one supplied by my ISP with the Zoom modem - neither of them has any effect on the problem.

I believe this (see highlighted) is the crux of your problem.

DO NOT ship the Zoom modem back.

With the Zoom modem connected. can you get back into it via the admin logon?
If so, report back.

 

[Navaros]

Yes, I can get back in there with my Zoom modem connected.

I just did an IPCONFIG /ALL with my Zoom modem connected and I noticed the "IP Address" is listed the same as the IP to the configuration site but with the last digit being different, it is a "5" instead of a "2".

But the "Default Gateway", "DHCP Server", and "DNS Servers" all have exactly the same IP address as the modem configuration IP address.

 

[KGB]

When you are logged onto the router. try to find a status page looking for the following info:

1. DHCP (enabled or disabled)
2. LAN IP address
3. WAN IP address

BTW... a thought: do you happen to have one of the DSL filters installed between your wall jack and modem? If so, remove it.

 

[Navaros]

There is no filter there.

Everything looks okay except for questions regarding the highlighted areas:

1. Can you repeatedly release and renew your IP address from your PC successfully?

2. Are you using a static IP address provided by your ISP?

3. If not, have you tried the AUTO setting for the WAN?

1. With my Zoom modem connected, yes I can repeatedly release and renew my IP address. Although with my old Dlink modem I never can as it always fails to contact the DHCP server.

2. I have no idea, that question is over my head. How do I figure that out?

3. No I haven't tried that, that question is also over my head. Should I try that?

Good. At least you are getting an IP address.

Can you reliably get on the internet with consistent speeds?
Are you still getting the "limited or no connectivity" messages?

I can always get on the Internet with my Zoom modem (or my Dlink modem) but the wild speed fluctation problem is identical to it's original state even with the Zoom modem.

If I disconnect my Zoom modem and use my Dlink modem instead, I still have the same original problem either way, even though my Dlink modem cannot contact the DHCP server or renew my IP address and there is apparently no IP address attached to my NIC when I'm using my Dlink modem.

I do not get the "limited connectivity" message with my Zoom modem. I do get it with my Dlink modem. But the connection is still screwed up either way.

Okay, ditch the D-Link modem for now. At least you can connect reliably with the Zoom.

Try going HERE and do the speed test. Or try the speed meter HERE.
Select a server closest to your location, if you can, and run it a few times.

What you are looking for is consistancy between runs of the same test.

Please report back with results.

 

[Navaros]

These three are from Toronto, ON to Florida.

Test 1

Test 2

Test 3

One I got from my ISP is at Bandwidthplace. When I choose my province on that site and do many tests in a row there I get results like 2.6 megabits per second followed by 3.5 megabits per second followed by 1.8 megabits per second 3 megabits per second followed by 2.5 megabits per second followed by 3.5 megabits per second.

An ISP I used to be with a long time ago told me to use toast.net.

On that site when I choose Godaddy server I get results of my throughput being 176K followed by 436K followed by 933K followed by 377K folowed by 269K followed by 600k followed by 864K.

With 2Wire Speedmeter first test said:

Speed Meter

Your current bandwidth reading is
0.00kbps


Second test:

Speed Meter

Your current bandwidth reading is
2.95 Mbps


Third test:

Speed Meter

Your current bandwidth reading is
3.01 Mbps

Fourth test:

Speed Meter

Conducting speed test. Please wait...

...then nothing happened for 5 minutes and it appeared that my browser had stopped trying to transfer any data.

Fifth Test:

Speed Meter

Your current bandwidth reading is
3.03 Mbps

 

[KGB]

At this stage, at least you reliable connectivity.

Regarding your speed fluctuations, I honestly don't know what to say:

- the results from dslreports look okay until you get to the last one.

- godaddy tests appear to be FUBAR.

- Speed Meter gives the most consistant results but WTF.

Try this VERIZON SITE for another data set.

 

[Navaros]

Well KGBMAN the thing that makes me the most upset is I can't play online games with my connection like this. Oftentimes I will appear to be stuck in place whilst dying in the game. Which is extremely frustrating and the reason why I can't tolerate this problem. My ping is always between 250ms and 2600ms.

Nobody here knows what to say. I made another thread on the Networking board about this but they couldn't identify or fix my problem either. My ISP can't either. I don't know where I will find someone who can.

I really feel like I'm up the creek without a paddle here and have no idea how to proceed with fixing this problem. :brokenheart:

Here is some results from the Verizon site that I just tested right now:

First Test:
810KBits 101.3KBytes

Second Test:
742KBits 92.7KBytes

Third Test:
1132.8KBits 141.6KBytes

Fourth Test:

Fifth Test:

Sixth Test:
2560.8Kbits 320.1KBytes

Seventh Test:
503KBits 62.9KBytes

Here's a couple more thoughts:

1. If you repeatedly ping yout router, do the pind times wildly vary?

2. Do you get any static on your phone lines?

3. Contact your ISP and see if you can to a "real" technician to reset your circuit.
I'm talking about someone who can get right into your circuit and tell you your rated speeds, distance to the CO, ping your modem etc.

I've done this before with Verizon when my line was acting up.

1. That question is above my head, how do I check that? I don't have a router although upon reading the manual for the Zoom X4 I read that a router was built in to the Zoom X4 modem unit.

2. Not that I'm aware of. Although when my phone company put my on hold and tested my line prior to dispatching a technician to my home, I noticed a lot of static during the hold music after which time my phone company told me that indicates a big problem on my line.


3. The problem with that is that my ISP is a reseller of the phone company's ISP service. The phone company has a monopoly over the phone lines, therefore every ISP in my city that is not the phone company's ISP (or cable, which is another monopoly and at twice the price I pay now for roughly the same speed I normally get before this problem started), is a reseller of the phone company's ISP service. This creates a lot of problems when I need a technician from the phone company to do anything for me. I have to push extremely hard to make that happen. In general my ISP is wonderful to me, but when they have to escalate things to the phone company to service me with a real technician, they get very reluctant to do that.


The other part of the problem is that most of this stuff is way over my head. I do not know how to intelligently make demands about actions to be taken on this problem by my ISP and phone company, because I do not undertand the problem.

It was stated to me after my first technician came from the phone company in regards to this issue, that my distance from the CO is only 3Km and IIRC they said my sync was perfect from my home to the CO (which I tend to agree with since my ADSL light never goes out ever as would happen if I lose sync).

So...how can I be sure this is something my ISP & phone company need to deal with?

Who would reset the circuit, a technician at the phone company? Would he have to come to my home? What are the technical things I should know when I push to make that happen?

 

[KGB]

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.

I see your predicament regarding the ISP vs. phone company situation.

Yes, someone at the phone co. would have to reset / evaluate your circuit.

Static on the phone line is bad but you should hear it whenever you call anyone.

To rule out a couple of other things:

1. Have you tried using a different telephone jack in your house to connect to the modem? Just get a long phone cord and try another wall jack (be sure to NOT have a filter connected).

2. On the outside of your house is a junction box that connects your home lines to the telehone network. Open the box and inspect the wires. Using a screwdriver and wire strippers, undo each wire (one by one) and trim back some insulation to expose fresh copper and reconnect. I do this at my place every year due to the climate here.


Please let us know.


Oh BTW, to ping your modem/router go to START>RUN and type "cmd" and hit enter.
At the prompt type "ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" (x's are the IP address of your modem) and hit enter.
You will see four attempts to ping along with the resulting ping times.

 

[Navaros]

Hi KGBMAN, just saw the lastest reply from you as of today. My problem has been the same as usual between now and then.


I made a post about this issue on the networking board thread of the same thing which I now copy and paste here in case you can answer me and the posters in the networking thread don't:
___________________________________________________________________
I had to call my ISP today for a temporary problem about connecting that was now solved, now things back to the usual of my connection being screwed up.

My ISP today told me that the DHCP server is my router, is that correct? Then I tried to ask what the DHCP server is if I'm using an ADSL modem with no router, and he couldn't answer that in an understandable way.

I've asked that question on this site in the original post too, but no one answered me about what machine or component the DHCP server is, exactly.

I still have absolutely no idea how to solve this problem.

I did a fresh OS install on a different hard drive and the problem remains identical on that fresh install with both modems.

Are any of you here able to analyze traceroutes to isolate if it's a problem with my ISP?

I am still especially confused why I can't get an IP address renew command to work with my old modem, yet I can with my new modem, but the connection is really messed up in an identical way in either case.

Presuming it's not a network card hardware problem, network cable problem, or modem hardware problem, then what all else might it be? Can I get a list?
__________________________________________________________

Would appreciate your feedback about that if you can give me it.


In regards to your latest post in this thread,


I'm in an apartment building and unfortunately I only have one phone jack activated because to activate more would be a waste of money for me.

I can't really tamper with the wires for that reason since I don't own the property. Although the phone company technician told me he inspected the wires outside prior to coming inside.

I just did a ping to my IP address and I got:

Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.

With 4 lost packets and 100% loss.

I guess when I appear to be stuck in place in online games and all movement stops whilst I am being killed, that is packet loss occurring. Although my ping is at best 125ms and usually it's 300ms on average and jumping up to 2500ms or worse when the "stuck" problem occurs. Those pings aren't normal for me either.

Before this mess started, I'd always get pings of 125 at the very worst and usually it was 75 on average.

I guess the packet loss also explains why I got 0.00kbps on one of the speed tests and perfectly functioning websites often fail to load at all when I'm browsing.

EDIT: I just noticed that on the site I used to get my IP address it lists two for me, one is "your external IP address" and the other is "Your Internal (LAN) IP". The 100% loss was using my external IP.

When I do a ping with "Your Internal (LAN)" I, I get round trips results 0ms on minimum, Oms on maximum and 0ms on average with 0% loss.

I used the Zoom modem on these tests and it is a modem & router.

 

[tommytran]

I have read all your posts and there is one thing I would try to do first: unplug all of your phones so that the only thing on the DSL line is your PC. Run the speed tests to see if the results are stable.

 

[Navaros]

Thanks tommytran.

That is one thing I have tried extensively out of my own thinking. Appreciate the suggestion. Unfortunately it doesn't have any effect on the problem at all.

 

[KGB]

I was hoping this thread had died j/k.

I appreciate your position regarding the phone wiring but can you at least pull the wall plate off and inspect the wires connecting to it? Perhaps replace the wall jack with a new one.

Another test is to ping some web sites by their URL such as "ping www.yahoo.com" or better yet try pinging the game server you frequently visit.

Don't lose hope. We'll get to the bottom of this.

 

[Navaros]

Where would I find the wires, exactly and how would I know when I found them?

When I ping google.com I get average of 76ms. When I did that test with my ISP's tech support a week or two ago, I got an average of 86ms and they said that was really high.


When I ping yahoo.com I get an average of 133ms.

Actually just pinged google.com again a second time right now and the average was 85ms again.


When I ping the game server I get 4 "Request timed out" in a row and 100% packet loss.
Although right before or after the ping test I can logon to the server with an average of 333ms ping as read from the in-game ping monitor.

Here are some traceroutes in case they can tell you something.


This is a traceroute I did this morning with my Zoom modem.
