Hello, I just connected a new laptop the network at work via cat5. I know the connection is fine but can't browse the internet.
In Network Connections, I see Wireless Network Connection and a "1394 Connection", which says it is connected at 400mbs. But I can't see other computers on the network.
When I click to repair the connection, I get a REPAIR 1394 CONNECTION error saying windows could not finish repairing because TCP/IP is not enabled for this connection. But when I go into properties for that connection, I see TCP/Ip item is checked and its settings are exactly same as another laptop that does connect to the internet using the same cat5 wire: obtain IP address automatically, DHCP enabled, etc.
When I try to create a new connection, windows says "your connection should be already working" and won't create a new connection. When I try to delete the 1394 connection, the delete option in the right-click dialog is grayed out.
The connection says it is using 1394 Net Adapter. Driver provided by Microsoft and device mgr says devise is working properly.
Can you help? What should check for?
