My internet is tiscali and the ip address changes everytime
i can share files ok just cant get it to connect to internet

any ideas plz been trying f 3 days now

Can you browse to http://66.102.9.104? If you can, then it's a DNS problem. Go to your ISPs website, find the IP addresses of their two DNS servers, then add these to the properties for the NIC.

ive got there dns address???? where do i put the ip address that i get??
do i put them in my tcp/ip on the 1394 connection or the tiscali connection? on my comp and wot do i do on the other comp? and wots nic stand for thanks f that bit of info

i can connect to the internet on the first comp its the other one i cant. Iam going through a firewire cable

If you can browse to that IP address then it is a DNS problem. You say that you've managed to find your DNS servers, so open up Network Connections from the Control Panel. Right-click the 1394 Connection and select Properties. Double-click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and then you'll see two boxes at the bottom of the new window where you can enter the DNS servers.

ive done that but its still not connecting on the second computer. The network is ok from computer to the other computer i can see all folders and files but on the second computer it won't connect to the internet.

first comps TCP/IP in 1394 ip 192.168.1.1
mask 255.255.255.0
preferred DNS 212.74.112.66
Alternate DNS 212.74.112.67

Second comp TCP/IP in 1394 ip 192.168.1.2
255.255.255.0
212.74.112.66
212.74.112.67

Do you have any settings configured in Internet Explorer which may causing problems? Check that you aren't trying to use a proxy server.

which computer do i need to check? this first comp that connects or the second that dosen't? the second comp that dosen't connect dosent have any connection setting in it. if i try to change a setting it changes my settings in the control setting.

You need to check in the second computer which can't connect to the Internet. Check that in the "Local Area Network (LAN) Settings" page nothing is selected, and that a proxy server isn't setup.
