    Change your router DNS entries to something more reliable. They're probably pointing to your ISP DNS servers.

    Google DNS: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

    Open DNS: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220

    Alternatively, you could just change the DNS entries on your computer.

  • harrymc

    Your DNS servers are wrong.

    Go first into the router's control panel (probably at 192.168.1.1) and ensure that the DNS servers are as communicated by your ISP (or choose among Google Public DNS or OpenDNS or DNS Advantage).

    Go into the Properties of the Wireless LAN adapter, then into the Properties of TCP/iPv4 (or/and 6), and select "Obtain an IP address automatically", do the same for the DNS server, then OK.

    windows vista - How do I resolve a looping configuration issue on my broadband modem configuration?
  • LightHeaded

    My problem is that I just had cable broadband Internet installed in my house and I tried hooking up the broadband Internet from the modem to my notebook but the broadband was not connecting to the Internet. The ethernet light keeps blinking.

    I contacted the technicians about 8-10 times followed and repeated their instructions about 10 times with no success. I called them again and they told me that the IP address was LOOPING or something similar to that.

    Is it possible to correct this problem myself, or is it an issue on my ISPs end?

    My setup:

    I am using Windows Vista x64.

    I have a direct cable Internet connection from the modem to the notebook, no router is being used.

    Updated with some diagnostic details:

    IP address and Obtain DNS server address are set to automatic.

    1. Press Win + R on your keyboard.
    2. Type cmd and press Enter.
    3. Type ipconfig.
    4. Look for Wireless LAN Adapter or Ethernet Adapter (none of the others matter for this exercise).
    5. Pick out the numbers next to the Default Gateway.
    6. Type ping *0.0.0.0* (replacing 0.0.0.0 with the numbers found in the above step).
    7. Look for the ping statistics at the end. If sent = 4 and received = 4, your connection to your modem/router is fine. If not there is some sort of problem between your computer and BB equipment.

    Please edit your question if you need to add any additional info

    Edit: Looking better

    Looks like we've got some sort of equipment failure.

    Try step 6 again. Type the following instead:

    ping 127.0.0.1

    Report back with results

    Edit 2: If you cannot ping 127.0.0.1, this is fundamental. Try uninstalling/disabling any security software and trying again.

    Edit 3: We're clearly looking at a problem with your computer (so you can rule out ISP). The next steps are to re-install TCP/IP, reseat the NIC, then replace the NIC.

    Prior to the above, though, I'd turn off IPv6, I've had some success with that

  • harrymc

    The blinking light might be the normal operation of your network card.
    Can you give more information about your setup: can you ping the router (normally 192.168.0.1)?
    Look in Network Connections : what's the status of your Local Area Connection?
    Go in the Properties of Local Area Connection, then click on Internet Protocol version 4 then again Properties: what values do you have for Obtain an IP address and Obtain DNS server address?

  • Frank V

    Oh, Dude we are going to need a lot more info that that. For starters, are you getting lights on the modem? Are you going though a router? Did you try to hook your computer -- laptop up to the modem directly? For that matter, is any of the computers working?

    A tech savy friend may be able to help 1000 time better than anyone here because connectivity issues often takes looking around... At least, in my experience.

    Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address. . : 169.254.248.98

    you have a problem with your DHCP server, the 169.x.x.x address is assigned by the operating system if it can't get an IP address from the DHCP server (e.g. router, cable modem)
