Windows 2000 can't connect?

[SufferWell1396]

I have a tri boot on my machine (98, 2000, and XP)
98 and XP can connect
98 can retain a connection forever
but XP can only retain a connection for a certain amount of time.
now. thats not really my problem, ill solve that in XP later.
What im worried about is
2000 used to be able to hold a connection forever,
but now 2000 cant connect at all.
I've updated to the latest drivers.
And it reads my connection as a 1MB/ps (its acutally 54MB/ps)
it does say its connected to my network and SSID.
So what should i do?

Try logging into the router...by its IP address. If you can't are you actually getting an IP from the router (ipconfig /all)?

Also, is 2k set to use the same channel as XP or 98?

[SufferWell1396]

okay.
yeah
XP/2000/98 all connect via channel 6.

Woo i got it
the solution was simple really.
All i had to do was go into XP
run IPCONFIG
and see the IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway given
then from there i transfered the same details over to 2000
and gave the Default DNS search 4.2.2.2
and now all is well
thanks again :)

That was the next suggestion...set the details manually.

So, since when have you taken up mind reading?

[SufferWell1396]

ever since my first post here
and my mobo broke

Yep...Sakrete....

That is the battery.

It is leaking.

It HAS eaten at least 3 legs of that chip next to it and probably the traces connecting to them.

It will get worse.

It is TOAST.

and mind reading from there on :p
