Ethernet Not working, Wireless fine?

Greetings.

I had my Fiber Plusnet installed a few days ago (Tuesday the 4th to be exact) and have only today managed to get it up and running after a talk with customer service.
Now, in a nutshell. I can get online and browse via the Wireless ( Am currently tethering the connection to my desktop) however, every computer I try to connect with a Wired connection, it wont seem to work (Limited or no Connectivity) and I have tried 2 computers, and 2 different cables. Same thing.

I'm pretty much out of idea's. Can anyone please shed some light on my situation.

Also, the router is the Technicolor TG582n FTTC


Thanks!

Re: Ethernet Not working, Wireless fine?

It sounds like a fault with the router to me, have you tried a factory reset?

Or it could be you set fixed IP addresses on those devices that don't fall within the range used by your new router.

How would I check this, and or solve the problem if it is the case?

Also, no. I have not factory reset, I was worried about breaking my new connection Sad

Re: Ethernet Not working, Wireless fine?

That confirms that the networking settings on the PC are almost certainly the problem.
You need to go to the properties of the Local Area Connection and check that both Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server address automatically are selected.
http://www.plus.net/support/software/dns/changing_dns_vista.shtml up to step 5 will take you to the right place.

Re: Ethernet Not working, Wireless fine?

Indeed. The IP 4 was set to resolve the DNS non automatically, it fixed it right up

Thanks again!
