Are you trying to use both Wireless and Ethernet at the same time to connect to 2 different networks?

ISP's have changed a lot since the Vista and XP days...all you had was a tiny box and you could do a lot more. Now they restrict, filter, and block residential class routers. As I suggested before, If you delete both adapters from the device manager (Don't delete the drivers if asked). when you reboot the laptop, windows will reinstall the adapters and they will be set to default....they should work fine if you do that.If this doesn't work, I can only assume that your integrated NIC is bad.

My wifi adapter is configured for a static ip address but when i assign my Ethernet port adapter an ip address i can't get it to work i even tried setting the ip and dns to automatic for the Ethernet adapter and it doesn't work. I don't understand how the WiFi adapter can be assigned a static IP. The WiFi adapter is just a piece of hardware that makes a computer connect wirelessly to a WiFi local area network. That is it! It's the computer or any other device connected to the local WiFi network, that gets assigned a private IP by the WiFi router, and the WiFi adapter is not one of those devices Please also understand that this IP is not your public IP, which identifies your laptop on the Internet. If you want a static public IP, you have to consult your ISP's support

But i did assign an ip address to my wifi adapter

That is different Regardless of whether you connect to a network via the WiFi adapter or the NIC, the IP is assigned to the computer These are just interfaces that let users connect their computers to a network |
