Blue Screen w/ white letters

Hi Terry, I have to step outside to handle a local matter. Are you able to have a look at the IPconfig. Where we may need to go next is ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew __________________ If you are able to stand in for this, then thanks, If not, then I'll have a look after I return, but folks are pounding on the front door as I type

yes with spaces.

ipconfig /all > %userprofile%\desktop\ipconfig.txt

Not There…

edit: When I type it in CMD it never shows up on desktop

what it didn't put an ipconfig.txt file on your desktop after you hit the enter key? have you tried it again to make sure you didn't make a typing error?

what it didn't put a txt file on your desktop after you hit the enter key? have you tried it again to make sure you didn't make a typing error?

No it didn't put the txt file.

you have any ideas paws? not got a windows system up and running to test anything myself but can't think of a reason why the command wouldn't work unless there's deeper problems somewhere.

Hi ToshibaSattelite Try this: Click on Start Click on Run type in the white box cmd press Enter key at the DOS prompt type in: cmd /c "ipconfig /all > postme.txt & ping bbc.co.uk >> postme.txt & notepad postme.txt & del postme.txt" Press Enter key Note please use "copy and paste" (Ctrl+c and Ctrl+v) for this command, as this will automatically make sure you get the spaces correct! and also don't forget the inverted commas, they need to be there… Please copy and paste the output into your reply (Make sure you capture it all) and one of us will analyse it for you and advise on the next steps.

could someone get me the new firmware and see if that helps?

the firmware was linked to in dougs post here :- http://forums.whatthetech.com/index.php?sh…st&p=767644

did you do the ipconfig /release and then ipconfig /renew and if so did it make any changes to the auto config ip address, subnet mask and default gateway?

Yes I did,No it made no changes.

Just dropped a Eucalyptus tree that was dangerously overhanging my living room roof. Fortunately I had about 6 men to do the heavy rope and cutting work. Sorry about the delay. ______________________________- I know this may sound elementary, but did you press enter after each command? ipconfig /release - then press "enter" Ipconfig /renew - then press "enter"

sorry doug edited my post to add that bit..
