Thanks. We'll let you know when a new response is added.

Manually enter an IP address if DHCP is turned on.
Turn on DHCP if it is turned off.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) queries your Verizon router for an IP address. If DHCP is disabled, it doesn’t. Instead, it will use the hard-coded address someone left configured before you.

Run IPCONFIG /ALL from the command prompt to see what your computer’s IP address, subnet mask, DNS Server, and Default Gateway addresses are.

If DHCP is enabled and you don’t get an IP address, you may have used a cross-over cable instead of a straight-through Ethernet cable. The cable may be bad. The network card may be bad (or disabled in the CMOS).

More information to work from would help.

    So questions are: Home Network? Router / HUB / DHCP / etc Is your machine's NIC setup to use DHCP - check IP properties if you are not using DHCP and your know your gateway IP - set an internal IP address on your NIC..... 192.168.x.x or 10.0.0.x

    Are you using a cable or WiFi? Is your router WiFi capable?

    Did the cable installer verify you have a connection from Verizon to your WiFi router?
