No MAC address

When my computer is set to DHCP I cant connect but when I set it to Static it works , I did a ipconfig and I dont get a Physical address it's all 0's .

It's onboard NIC MSI K7N2 Delta.

what do you mean you don't get a physical address ?
write ipconfig /all
your physical address has nothing to do with you connecting using DHCP or static

take a screen shot and post it here

When I give it a static address it connects but It will not work with DHCP

Filip · 09-01-2006, 01:29 PM

Ok, and what static IP address within your home network are you using? 192.168.1.x?

**Shady** · 09-01-2006, 01:30 PM

working with DHCP depends on the router
if it's enabled there it's gonna work !

dave68 · 09-01-2006, 01:45 PM

My home network is 192.168.1.2

And what router you have? I need the whole model number.

Did that screenshot help you or you already have everything set up similar like mine?
