Have you checked that the router isn't doing something clever with MAC addresses, and blocking it?

PC won't connect to a simple network. I scanned with 6 different AV/anti-malware scanners and three different root kit scanners. I cleaned it of any infections and unneeded software. I installed Vipre and SP firewall. I flushed the DNS and reset with netsh. I tested the wiring. I can get onto every network I've had it on except the one it is supposed to connect to. The (new Netgear) router dhcp serves 192.168.0.x but it won't serve this PC. The PC goes to a 169. address. I can connect this PC to another (Dlink) router which dhcp serves 192.168.0.x no problem. I can connect it to an SMC router that dhcp 192.168.2.x no problem. All of the routers are working fine with the other PCs in the nets. I can connect a notebook into this same Ethernet cable and get served. I switched patch cables. I checked for possible DNS redirectors. I'm beating my head - I must be missing something. Any ideas? _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com This communication and its attachments, if any, may contain confidential and privileged information the use of which by other persons or entities than the intended recipient is prohibited.
