Hello,

I'm on a different PC than mine.

The internet connection is not working (hourglass permanently).
I have tried to:
repair the local area connection
I get: unable to flush the DNS cache
disable/enable the network card and uninstall/install the network card
I get: nothing better
use the command prompt (cmd):
ipconfig/all: nothing abnormal
ipconfig/release, ipconfig/renew
ipconfig/flushdns: unable to flush the DNS resolution cache: the operation failed during execution
ping howtocome.com --> 0% loss

OS: Windows XP Home Edition 2002 SP2
network card: Fast Ethernet PCI Realtek RTL8139 Family
IE 7.0
ISP: Orange + Livebox + liveplug

The box is fine since I use it with my PC

Thank you for the help
Configuration: Windows Vista Firefox 3.5.3

Hello,
Go to Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services, check that the services: DHCP Client and DNS are started and set to automatic startup.
