problem with ip address

[angrycat]

I have a problem trying to get back on to internet with my ip address after i've ftp'd my new image to my dbox. I go to my computer/ properties /click auto ip address. When trying to connect to my network wireless i get message dns server error
help appreciated

Have you enabled your wireless again?

Control panel, network connections. Then see if your wireless connection is enabled. If it isn't, enable it and you will hopefully have solved your problem.

Go to dbox and look at the ip address and make sure its the right one your trying to connect to on your pc

[bigchunks]

on the same page where you set auto ip address, make sure you set auto dns as well.

My wireless is enabled tried everything above guy's compu say's carn't connect host unreachable dns error. I know someone out there in digital kaos land will come up with the solution

What i did was disable one while you use the other.


So while i was FTP'in id make my wireless network inactive by disabling it.

hi before ftp you should always!create a restore point,however like smoggie says a restore should do the trick,being that you changed connection settings on the network,half duplex etc....good luck...m

Why on earth would anyone want to do that?

@ Angrycat....

What version of Windows are you using mate?
Are you going through a router or is it a straight connection?

After you have returned your LAN settings to 'Obtain and IP address Automatically', if all the usual 'Repair connection' type solutions don't work then simply reboot the PC/router/modem.

I'm on windows vista m8, i disabled my wireless and enabled my lan connection to ftp my dbox, then after i finished ftp my box i enabled back to my wireless router and dissabled my lan. I have gone through the restore point method but my network wont connect, i do have connection to internet now through another network albeit an insecure one but i'm at least back on line
thanks guys appreciate your help Angry

Vista has a Diagnose and Repair option in the Network Settings.

Does it report any errors?

Glad you got it sorted mate.

BTW, I told you to restart the PC in post #9, that does the same thing

the point i was making was that if you change settings/you are better of creating a restore point right before you change things then you can finish what your doing and go back straight away without getting into these situations,which witchty didnt get?....m
