Someone in my area has called me and asked for help. He had a hard drive
crash so he put in a new drive and reinstalled Media Center Edition. He
accesses the internet through DSL and a router. Another computer is also
plugged into the router and is working fine. On this computer, he has no
internet access. Under the "status" tab it says "connected" but under the
support tab the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway lines are all empty.
If he unplugs the ethernet cable, nothing changes. It still says it is
connected. Also, the icon in the tray that should appear with the red X and
the "network cable unplugged" message does not appear. He was having no
problems before the crash. This is something that I've never experienced
before. If it sounds familiar to anyone, plese clue me in as to what might
be going on! The LAN is built in.
