hey,

Im 13 and my family is run of a d-link router which i setup. This has been running alright now for over a year. Now my brothers computer doesnt connect. He is connected through an ethernet cable. These are some things that happens.

It look likes he is connected but then i have a look at the router logs (from my laptop) and it doesnt show the DHCP giving him an ip.

He cant get through the defult gateway in this case 192.168.0.1

When i type IPCONFIG into CMD it comes up with this error:
an internal error occurred: The request is not supported. Please contact mircosoft product support services for further help
Additional information: Unable to query host name.

Alot of services in administative tools are not running such as webclients and things like that but when i try and start them it all screws up aswell

We have tried alot of things such as

Giving him a custom ip (192.168.0.101)

putting services on

rebooting (everything alot, mum and dad get anoyed when trying to do stuff hehe)

and about everything involving winsock

Please help
Thanks heaps

That's very interesting. It sounds like there is something wrong with his machine specifically. Have you tried repairing the OS? Maybe running some anti-spyware and anti-virus programs on there?
