| | Wrong IP assigned I just purchased a Toshiba Satellite Centrino Duocore machine w/Vista Premium. I wanted to hook the machine into my work network since I have a better internet connect at work than home. Everytime I plug in to network, it is coming up with the wrong IP. In the systray, Toshiba has a configfree (connectivity doctor) interface. In checking the log, I can see that the IP is incorrect. It appears there is a numbered log of the different networks that I have connected to. I can see that my work network IP is incorrect. When I first booted the machine, I believe that I may have had the wireless network switch on and that it might have jammed my neighbors router address into the IP for the network at my office. I have tried IP release in the Toshiba tools. I deleted the connection in Windows network and sharing center. The machine connects with no issue to my home plug in network and at my wife's office. I am not sure why it will not find the IP automatically and why it continues to see this network as the wrong IP. I am no expert on networking, but I haven't figured out the problem yet. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks in advance. |
