    I need help. My MX7525 does not let me join or host a game in Unreal Tournament 2004 LAN play......My Local Are Connection says it has Limited or no connectivity all the time.. I know it's not the game thats screwed up. Its my Local Area Connection. Anyone else had this problem before? How can I fix my Local Area Connection?

    Thnx! :)

    That message generally implies a problem with the connection coming into the computer and not the computer itself.

    Usually means no IP Address was assigned. Try setting your IP Address manually to 192.168.0.1.

    It's nothing to do with the computer. Look up the router and find out how to properly configure it.

    Don't set your IP to the one above, that would the the router's IP and only screw something else up.

    Have you tried resetting everything? That is usually the simplest and first thing to do. Also try calling your service provider for support. Do the simple things first so that they can be eleminated.
