If it is a DHCP problem like what I read the D-Link routers have, the suggested fix was to manually configure your IP. It's worth a try.

Actually the IP you use will be dictated by the settings of your router. You should choose an IP that is in the same IP range (i.e.: 19.168.0.X) but is outside of the range the router is set to use (for instance, your router may be set up to only assign IPs between 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.9). If you can't log in to the router's administration utility, just anything within the proper range (192.168.0.X) that is not already in use by another machine on the network.

You will need to set your gateway to 192.168.0.255 and your net mask to 255.255.255.0, while leaving the DNS parameters blank (unless your ISP has specified DNS servers for you to use).

Bonne chance!

Thanks, but still doesn't work :-(


--> When i put Gateway 192.168.0.255 it says it dosen't exist, so as i think my router's IP is 192.168.0.1, that's what i put.

--> When i leave DNS blank, the internet site can't be found in .030 sec approximately. When i put 192.168.0.1 as DNS, it takes 6-7 before the error

Conclusion : i think i've gotta find my correct DNS server. a /ipconfig /all in windows shows me that my DNS server is 192.168.0.1 :-(

I think i'm gonna try SLAX or some other linux distro :p

Thank you at all, you were very helpful, and even if i didn't resolve my problem, i learned things :p that's what i like with computers ^^

Important edit : I installed Puppy 2.20 Community Edition, DHCP works, it shows "successfull", the only thing is that it doesn't connect, when i want to manually put an ip I can see that the DHCP sent wrong informations..

2.20 is an alpha version (it is not yet complete and full of bugs). It always says that getting a connection was successful even if it couldn't get an IP address. This should be fixed when Barry releases the beta version.

Sorry I couldn't help you more.
