I'm running Windows XP (service pack 2).

I just connected a cable modem to my new desktop computer via ethernet
cable.

I get a message that comes up on my taskbar with an "!" saying "limited or
no connectivity".

When I open Internet Explorer it does nothing.

My laptop works great with the modem, so it's not the cable modem.

What is wrong?

Did you turn off the XP FireWall?

to ping > 'Start>Run' type cmd and enter... From the comman prompt type the
following
ping 127.0.0.1 - enter
ping 'laptop_ip_address' - enter

Windows firewall has been turned off. Still no connectivity.
Cannot ping either.
It's like the computer doesn't recognize the modem.

cant ping 127.0.0.1 ? - try uninstalling the tcp/ip protocol from the
connection (if it is installed) and then re-install the tcp/ip protocol - if
this does not work then modem is dead m8

If he's running XP (and I assume he is since it is new) then you can't
uninstall TCP/IP. XP won't let you.

goto network connections choose the offending connection - right click
choose properties then click 'Networking' - untick the 'tcp/ip' protocol -
ok ok - restart the xp and then go back and tick the tcp/ip option again...

Start, Settings, Control Panel, Network Options.

Right click Local Area Connection, Properties. choose TCP &
Properties. Make sure Obtain IP address automatically is selected. and
obtain DNS server automatically is selected too?

Had the same thing yesterday when I took the plunge and installed XP SP2.
Already had XP Home with SP1 running nicely, but you know how it is? If it's
not broke, fix it until it is! Anyway, ended up ****ing about with a lot of
security settings to sort it out. Look in Control Panel/Security Centre then
go into "change the way Security Centre alerts me" and disable all the
warning etc etc. Also right clicking on the tray connection icon and
choosing repair seems to work.
HTH.
