network card

I just installed a network card in a very old computer I had just to add it to my network. Well I have installed network cards in the past, just like this one, its an old novell 2000, but for some reason it doesn`t want to get an ip, when I go winipcfg, the ip is 169........ meaning not getting one. I also went in the properties and told to automaticly get everything but it still didn`t work. Can anyone help me out on this one, i`m fresh out of ideas. Thanks in advanced, I`ll keep checking every couple of hours.
 
OK... where is it supposed to get an IP from? The DHCP server in your router or directly from an ISP?
Check the cable connection -- even if Windows doesn't indicate "Cable disconnected" you should still check it. Sometime enough wires are connected to trick Windows, but not enough to make a connection.

Make sure you have the correct media type: usually auto-negotiate works but sometimes you need to play with it. Try 100mbps full duplex and 10mpbs half duplex. Again, it depends on what you are connecting it to.

Are you using CAT5 or CAT3 cable?

And is that card an ethernet card or is it token ring?? I'm pretty sure its ethernet but I didn't verify that ;)
 
stilll nothing...

I`m trying to get the ip directly from my isp. All i did was unhook the cable from my god computer which the internet works fine on it and connected it in back of my old comp. Also I am using Cat 5 cable, Ethernet. You might understand why I have no more idea`s. Any help once again would be appreciated. Thanks
 
OK

Your ISP is probably caching the MAC address of your good computer's network card and it won't give an address to any other card on that line.

Hook the 'good' computer back up and release the address in WINIPCFG

Then switch the cable around and try to renew it on the other computer.
 
help...

K, I would have did that but sadly, well not really sadly, but i just switched to xp pro, which I know allready that it doesn`t work. I believe my brother had told me how but it escapes my mind. The only thing I can remember is I have to go in the control panel, network, then its somewhere in there, but where?? Could you help me out here, Thanks alot.

If you are asking how to release an IP address within XP (which I can only assume you are), do this:

1. Open a command prompt (Start->Run->cmd).
2. Type ipconfig /release to release the IP.
3. Type ipconfig /renew to renew the IP.
4. Then you can type either ipconfig or ipconfig /all to show the IP address.

If you are wanting to see your TCP/IP settings (I don't have XP in front of me, so pardon me if i'm a bit off), do this:

1. Right-click Network Neighborhood.
2. Left-click properties
3. Right-click on "Local Area Connection" (I think that's right).
4. Left-click on properties.
5. Click on TCP/IP.
6. Click the "Properties" button.
 
it still doesnt work, can it be the network card?--->my buddy has the same one and when he put adiff net card in his pc it then started to work.

    I think on the new one they did change it, but idk. I don't really care whatever the government is doing right now because it's consistently absurd. Like what is RFK doing in charge of health anything? I love the bear story because WTF was that, but also, pretty much every time he talks it's WTF. Like even his voice sounds microwaved

    The pyramid is fucking dumb as shit, no matter how you arrange it.

    It's actually remarkably easy to make mayonnaise though. Fun fact, it USED to kind of be a French mother sauce. I believe that Careme considered it one, it may have been aioli but that has also built a different meaning than it used to. An aioli is just mayonnaise I mixed with other shit typically, I didn't start it don't come at me
  • Varine Varine:
    It's very hard to do it on a large scale though
  • Varine Varine:
    Depending on how you pour the oil the consistency can vary wildly, but that's true for most emulsions. I can only make about two quarts at a time with my robo coup, and if I have to make several in series because I forgot to order it becomes really obvious even when I do it. We have to wait and mix them all together to make sure we have the same thing.
  • Varine Varine:
    Hollandaise is also kind of like that, emulsions require a very steady hand to do exactly the same every time.
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I live in an age with electricity so it's way fucking faster, but when I was just a boy trying to find my place I had some hardcore chefs that made use do things like that by hand. It is WAY easier to get right by hand because you control it and can feel it, but it takes soooooo much longer. And on the scale a modern kitchen requires... I serve 400-500 guests on average per day right now, if I had 100 then we could do things way better
  • Varine Varine:
    But we can't do that. In the winter yeah, but I HAVE to get people through here right now so I can afford the staff that we CAN do that. We have about 100 days of summer, and if that summer doesn't make us what it will, then I can't operate the other most of the year with my staff. The owner is talking about closing two days a week to cut down on labor, I told him he should cut down on vacations and it did not go great. I do think I won though, I have to keep my fucking core staff and they have to be gainfully employed
  • Varine Varine:
    Sure some of them might take a second job, but I can't just cut my entire staff to unlivable hours, nor can I can cut them off all winter if I want them to come back.
  • Varine Varine:
    And also, there is no fucking way I'm pulling these hours come september. I only do this right now because I have to, the second I don't have to be the one doing it I won't be
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a 5 person core staff in the kitchen, not including me or Chef Ben
  • Varine Varine:
    Though two of those people are likely not making it this year. One of them has been replaced, the other I am kind of trying to. He's being a giant bitch, today I had to get onto him because in the three hours before I left he had taken like thirty minutes for cigarette breaks
  • Varine Varine:
    And he was also complaining to me the other day that he was out of weed so couldn't smoke any before work that day, and was confused about why I was annoyed he was telling me, his boss, that he is smoking weed everyday before work.

  • Varine Varine:
    Like yeah I can tell. I don't need to fucking know.
  • Varine Varine:
    So now he's getting scrutinized and will not be top of the list. I know I don't have the smartest people but I do expect them to have some common fucking sense
  • Varine Varine:
    I did do a rare thing for me and hire a girl last month without warning. Everyone was made at me because I started her at like 21, but she worked with me before and I was like don't care. She made 19 at her old job and I wanted her to come work with me, she is the best

  • Varine Varine:
    I'm going to get her a raise at the end of the summer. She wants to go to school again, but I want her to still work with me so.... she kind of can just tell me what the price is. I can go to 25 if she keeps up. I need to get her onto line more, that's what she wants, but I need her where she is and it's not fair that she doesn't get the little bit of raise that comes with it. She can do it no problem, I've worked with her there.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's just hard to move and train people unnecessarily right now. And also the line fucking sucks, it's not any more fun. This is turn and burn so I have the bankroll, and everyone suffers for it
  • Varine Varine:
    Eventually we'll get it balanced, we'
  • Varine Varine:
    we're starting online orders and stuff, but I also turn that off all the time because I barely keep up trying to be the best at Sysco shit
  • Varine Varine:
    I think it's gonna be a good fall and winter though. We're going to have a good staff, they will get along, they will be able to manage the workload and the complications, they know how to really cook this year, like every person on line knows their steak temps. Some of them use thermometers a lot and they don't always use them right, but they do know how to do it. Failure, especially in this field, is the only way to get better. They'll get it
  • Varine Varine:
    They won't get feel down while they do the thermometer, but we didn't have an instant read probe when I was learning. Like they did but god knows how off it is, you HAD to do it by feel. Even if the chef was fine with me bringing my own, it takes too long. Poke and know
