Change Desktops And Internet Doesn't Work Anymore? What would cause this?

[contract]

So at the office...

Desktop #1 (XP) was already pre-setup to work in this office. Internet works fine.

Desktop #2 (Windows 7) it's in the other room, internet works.. However switched it for #1 in my room, however the internet doesn't work.

We use a VPN.. I'm not sure how to fix this.. Both are using Ethernet. Tried to repair it but that didn't work.

(Never had this issue before, switched an XP desktop for another XP one, but this Windows 7 one won't work in this room)

Can I just copy the internet settings in here and copy them onto the new desktop? If so how would I do that?

When I plug in the Ethernet cord, it connects to the network group, etc. But it has an X at the very last part the internet.

Please help. lol ugh

Tried turning it off and then on again?

Shut the VPN off and test again

You need to isolate the issue by device(modem ,router,switches,cables,ect ). Start with the basics and work in equipment and finaly software.

Yes. Even did the windows repair feature.. Which did nothing..

Shut the VPN off and test again

No idea where that's even at in the building, lol.

Hmm..

Here's how it looks in XP:

Try setting it to automatic configuration.

Also I should note, my laptop doesn't work when I plug into the ethernet either...

Try setting it to automatic configuration.

Hmm will look into this and try to do that.. Thanks Oh laptop is Windows 7, and never connected.. Will mess around with that first and see why it won't connect.

I've never had luck with "public networks" on Windows 7. try to change it to "work network" and you should be okay. Also, as ShadowCaster said, if you have a dhcp server set your config to auto detect so it gets an IP from the server.

in case it may be some dns issue, keep ping 8.8.8.8 -t to check if up
