Hi Matt,

Typically, IP Routing will be disabled.

You only want routing if your computer is acting as a router between two
different IP Subnets. In the case of workstations, you almost certainly
*don't* want this (on a server, maybe). If your network has subnets, they
will probably be separated by dedicated hardware routers (eg Cisco, etc).
Generally, only large corporate or academic networks are divided into
subnets.

As long as you have a default gateway configured (which you do), the default
gateway will make all the necessary routing decisions on your behalf, to
find remote networks.

So, your IP config looks good to me.

Hope it helps,

I still can't figure out, and have had no advice, as to why my connection is
"Local only" and not "Local and Internet" like it was last week?

Hello Matt,

I assume that your router is 10.1.1.1, and that you have manually assigned
10.1.1.6 to your PC? What happens if you change the subnet mask from
255.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.0?

Do you have other PCs on your network that you could compare an ipconfig to?

Have you tried making your router (10.1.1.1) your Primary DNS server, then
use your ISPs DNS server as additional DNS server?

Hi Jane,

Yes my router is 10.1.1.1 , 10.1.1.6 was suggested by my ISP to help fix the
problem but thus far has not.

Changed to 255.255.255.0 without success. No luck with this either "Have you
tried making your router (10.1.1.1) your Primary DNS server, then
> use your ISPs DNS server as additional DNS server?"

Are there any other possible changes that could be made?

Matt

I should have guessed there was a subtext to your question "should routing
be enabled?" :-) Being one of those typically slightly autistic computer
guys, I took the question very literally; not detecting your underlying
motivation ...

Jane is spot-on (as usual!). Just my additional 2 cents, now that I know the
real issue (Interenet connectivity). 10.1.1.1 is a TCP/IP Class A Address.
There's nothing wrong with that, and it should work. But, by *far* the more
common arrangment for home routers, is to use a Class C Address. If your
gateway is an ADSL or Cable modem/router, you should check the
documentation for your router and verify it supports Class A Addressing. By
default, many home routers will configure themselves for Class C addresses,
such as 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2 etc with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. If
your router presents a 192.168.x.x LAN address, and your PC is configred for
10.x.x.x, you cannot communicate with the router (and hence, cannot
communicate with the Internet).

What I would do in this situation, is ...

- log in to my ADSL router - they usually have a web interface you can reach
via Internet Explorer;

- check the WAN address (ie the public Internet address) and the Internal
LAN address, that the router reports;

- if your router supports it (likely), try to ping a public Internet address
from within in the router interface. This will confirm that your router can
see the public Internet;

- assuming the router can see the Internet, make sure your PC can see your
router. At a command prompt, enter eth command:
C:\>ping 10.1.1.1
If this responds okay, you are conected to your router,. If this fails, you
don't have reliable comms between your PC and the router. This still leaves
us with a poroblem to solve, but we have partitioned it into a much smaller
problem than before.

- you can also try a command like:
C:\>tracert 203.8.183.1
...to trace the route between your PC and your ISP's DNS Server. This might
return an error, but it will still be useful diagnostic information. When I
try from my machine (just to show a working example,) I get:

One possible cause of no Internet connectivity is the nForce ActiveArmor
firewall. Make sure it is not running while testing. My recommendation is to
uninstall it if it is installed and use the Windows firewall.
