Hello every1! I own a dell XPS 1530 with a Marvell Yukon 88E8040 PCI-E ethernet controller (I dnnw what that means!!) . The OS on my lappy is Vista ULTIMATE. Now, my problem is very peculiar, to say the least. I knw i have to change the ipv4 settings whenever i move to a newer connection (student...interns...hence the change) . But my comp refuses to display any options under the networking tab in the local area connection properties tab. But it refuses to show it only in certain cases. If i have a working connection, ie a connection for which the settings are already in place on my comp, it then shows me the normal options that are seen on every1's comp .... much like the chicken and egg problem ....only, now i'm not at the same place as my last working connection, without which, my comp does not show the options in ctrl panel -> network connections -> LAN -- right click -- .... the place where it should be showing some ...and without these ... i cannot change my ip address and dns server etc ...to those of the new place... So pls tell me if theres an alternate way of doing this ..via cmd or sumthin!!!

Disconnect so it reverts to the state where it isn't showing up. Then go to Start / All Programs / Accessories / Command Prompt and type in ipconfig /all. Scroll to the local connection and make sure all of it shows and take a screenshot and attach it as a .jpg file to your next reply. Then connect and do the same (and name the files so I know which file is which situation).

In the meantime, you may try setting up an entirely new connection (as if starting from scratch) and see if that allows you to set it up (gives you access to the configuration settings) and use it in the new location. Then it's just a matter of selecting the connection you want (or setting it as the default to automatically connect as you prefer).

Thanks and good luck!
