Re: Wierd Network Problem
Is it an on-board NIC? The MAC address of it may have changed when the BIOS was flashed.
Some ISPs require that MAC addresses be registered with them to work.
Re: Wierd Network Problem
Maybe you should get a wierdless network. :shifty:
Re: Wierd Network Problem
I think your modem is limited to 10 mbps connection. That is why Windows warns of "limited or no connectivity".
You can disable the message. Just remove the checkmark [ ] Notify me when this connection has limited or no connectivity in the Local Area Connection - Properties.

But it wont let me access the internet, im not familiar with networkin, so im sorta lost here. I tried 4 diffrent bios but no luck.
Re: Wierd Network Problem
The problem can't be directly related to the bios, otherwise you wouldn't be able to connect even through your router.
Chewie's idea is much more likely. I must admit I've never seen it do that, but it is certainly possibly.
Who is your ISP? Someone may be able to tell you if you need to register your MAC address.
Alternatively, there is sometimes a minimum wait time between disconnecting one piece of equipment and connecting another, I've definitely heard of that before now.
Re: Wierd Network Problem
If I change from my comp being connected to the router to just directly connecting the the modem i have to reset the modem a couple times, restart teh computer, until i finally get lucky and it registers an ip adress.
Try that i guess. :P
What's wrong with the router anyway? Why not jsut keep using it that way?
