Every time I want to connect to a new machine I am not allowed to connect(wire) to the Internet. Others connected through the same router are getting the Internet uninterrupted. Some of the computers are connected via a switch, some others are connected directly from router (wire). The router is set to ´DHCP´ as well as the computer I am trying to connect. There is a information saying "the local area is limited connected to the network you may have no Internet or limited Internet".
When I checked the ipconfig /all
on the machine connected properly and tried to apply same properties in the other seems does connect but not to the Internet (I do not get !
mark on network indicator). This way I can get away with the limited connectivity message but I get no Internet.
If I connect this machine and leave it for around a day, the next day I get the connection properly. Is there something I can do so that I do not need to wait until the next day to get a connection? Most of the time I have to deal with different machines daily. It has been a pain in the a**. No matter which OS I try, it's the same.
Note: the connection is broadband to the router, Ethernet on machines, connected via wire. The router is a normal router mostly used in homes.
My settings on the running computer (connected via switch Netgear) are:
