Trouble hooking up a second computer

Hello,
I am trying to hook-up a second computer onto the FIOS router via wire.  The computer is a Dell that was previously used in another home with a DSL link.  The network is configured to automatically get a new IP address but it still retains the old address.  I tried ipconfig /release and then ipconfig /renew.  When I used ipconfig /renew I got a timeout error that said it was "unable to contact your DHCP server"  I have tried multiple ports on the router, including swapping ports with this computer that obviously works.  Any suggestions?

doodad98..Make sure in network connections that all LAN properties are to obtain IP automatically along with obtains DNS automatically.  Also check internet explorer then under tools/ internet options/ connections make sure never dial a connection is checked & then under LAN settings tab that automatically detect settings is checked. let us know. Also when you do a ipconfig from dos prompt what is the IP address your getting and are you able to ping the default gateway?

    My telework computer is a virtual clone of my office desktop.
    I'm not an administrator for the machine. But the admin who installed it was also unable to put in the license info.

    Hope this helps.

    Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 10.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data because all profile folders will be removed.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

  • Why can't I install Creative Cloud on my second computer?

    I'm having trouble install Creative Cloud on my 2nd computer -- MacBook Pro. I download the app and clicked on the Installer, and when I initializing the installer, I get this message: Adobe Creative Cloud is needed to resolve this problem. However, it is missing or damaged. Please download and install a new copy of the Creative Cloud from "http:www.adobe.com/go/adobecreativecloudapp'. So I click on Get Creative Cloud and the downloading cycle begin again. Also, it asks for Adobe Application Manager. Does anyone have any solutions? Thanks.

    The CC has been activated twice, April 2013, July 2014, it needs to deactivated from one of the computer to install it on the second computer, it might be that accidentally, it has been activated twice.
    Activation & Deactivation Help
    In case the previous computer is not available to De-activate then you can choose to " De activate all" while installing & activating it now, it deactivate the previous one & activate this with one activation count remaining.

  • Hard Drive Won't Mount After Repair by Second Computer

    I have an G4 Cube with OS 10.2 on the internal hard drive (which is full) and OS 10.4 on an external La CIe hard drive (that I use as my main OS). The external hard drive accumulated serious damage that couldn't be repaired by Disk Utility on the internal drive. My copy of DiskWarrior X would not run under OS 10.2 (10.4 was required) and it wouldn't boot from the CD either So I connected the external hard drive to my second computer, an iMAC running OS 10.5. (Unfortunately, I disconnected the external hard drive when the computer was off instead of ejecting the drive by dragging it to the Wastebasket.) The external drive mounted and DiskWarrior easily constructed a new directory, defragmented the files, and eliminated all of the damage on the external hard drive visible to Disk Utility. However, when I reconnected the repaired external hard drive to the G4 Cube, the drive wouldn't mount. Privileges were repaired on both computers with the external drive connected without helping. Being repaired while connected to a higher OS or perhaps simply being connected to a higher OS seems to have left the LaCie external hard drive in a state which couldn't be mounted by an earlier OS.
    Following this hypothesis, it booted the G4 Cube from the OS 10.4 Installation CD while the LaCie external hard drive was connected. When I cancelled installation of OS 10.4, I was asked to choose a start-up disk AND OS 10.4 WAS NOW MAGICALLY AVAILABLE ON THE EXTERNAL DRIVE. Simply starting up from a more advanced OS allowed the hard drive to mount.
    Shockingly, when I restarted from OS 10.2, the external hard drive was still mounted. Whatever was preventing the drive from mounting was a TRANSIENT STATE, not backwards incompatability.
    POSSIBLE LESSON: If a hard drive won't mount on computer A after being connected to computer B, consider booting computer A using the OS on the installation disk from computer B.

    If you need to repair a hard drive with OS X installed on it, you must use that same version of OS X to perform the repair. Using another--in this case, newer--OS can cause quite a bit of trouble, as the directories/permissions may be dealt with differently between the OS's.
    Seems you've learned this lesson--and luckily you didn't lose anything!

  • IMac display with second computer?

    Is anyone driving the 27" iMac display with a second computer?  If so, can you switch between the iMac and the second computer to see what is happening on each machine?

    Yes you are.  The two machines I use are mini displayport.  Thunderbolt must hook to Thunderbolt.  I wasn't thinking of the new iMac 27".   Old timers moment.

  • Connecting second computer - problem

    I have been trying to connect a second computer to an existing Airport Express network - and have failed miserably so far. I have the sneaking suspicion that I'm missing something obvious here - so any pointers will be greatly appreciated!
    I have an Airport Express and a 1-year old Powerbook G4. The Airport is connected to a cable modem. Everything works fine.
    The second computer is a 17-inch iMac G5. I bought an Airport card and installed it following the instructions. I've done this kind of stuff before so I'm pretty sure it's not an installation problem.
    But my iMac won't detect the Airport station.... I've read the manual, tried to follow instructions, fiddled with the settings, moved the computer closer to the airport station, etc. etc. Nothing improved the situation.
    I have also tried setting up a computer-to-computer network. The Powerbook then recognises the iMac and I can enter a password. So I presume the Airport card is working... But afterwards, I don't see any new volume under "Network" - which is where I would expect to find the iMac now. Mhm.
    I apologize if this is all a bit unspecific - but I'm happy to provide further clues if pointed in the right direction.
    Many thanks in advance for your help!
    Sebastian

    I have a similar problem

  • Creative Cloud for Teams - second computer will only install as trial version

    Hi there
    My company purchased Creative Cloud for Teams. I use a Mac at work and have installed it without any problems there. However at home i use a PC (Windows 7) and i have tried several times to sign into my Creative Cloud account and download programs so i can work at home but each time it will only load the programs as trial versions.
    I have tried several troubleshooting options with no luck:
    Clicked sign in on the trial window - but it just asks me for a serial number which i obviously dont have.
    I asked my work IT dept to delete and resend my seat invitation which they did but it didnt fix the issue.
    I asked my work IT dept to check with the reseller we bought Creative Cloud for Teams from whether there were any restrictions or settings which wont allow to install on a second computer but they said it should be fine.
    My team mates at work have installed it on their home Macs without a problem, it seems to be only a PC issue.
    I have had CS6 on my computer previously but uninstalled it all in case this was causing the conflict - but it didnt fix the CC issue.
    I have uninstalled and used the Adobe Cleaner tool, then reinstalled but this didnt work - the trial days still kept counting down.
    I uninstalled again, used a Registery cleaning tool (cleaned registery, temp files, browser temp files etc), used the Adobe Cleaner tool (just to make it extra clean), and removed all traces of Adobe from my machine. I reinstalled Creative Cloud Application manager, installed Acrobat to try it out. This time the trial days have gone back to 30 (rather than zero). I clicked on the "sign in" button, it signs me in but still asks for a serial number.
    I tried contacting Adobe via the chat channel but was told after some time that i would need to speak to Tech Support. My dealings with Adobe Tech Support in the past haven't been the most fruitful, so i thought i would ask the forum as my last desperate attempt to solve this problem.
    Any and all suggestions welcome.
    Thanks!

  • How do I install FCPX on a second computer?

    Hi, I was told that I can now install FCPX on a second computer. Is this correct?  If so, how do I do it?  The only options I see are to download the free trial, or "buy" - which takes me to the iTunes store and pay $299 again.  How do I do it?

    Yes....
