Thank you again for any help!
As you can see from your information above, you are not receiving valid ip addressing information from your router (no subnet mask and no default gateway address and an apipa 169.254.nnn.nnn address).
My immediate concern is that since this computer came from your work that it may have been a member of a Domain and subject to any number of Domain Security Policies which may prevent you from making any progress addressing your problem.
If you are certain that this is not the case then we probably should consider a possible driver update for the adapter itself. Check with Nvidia and see if they have a recent driver update for your card, I suspect that it's integrated on the motherboard so you'll probably need the MoBo info to obtain the latest drivers as they are likely to be a package deal.
Since you obviously have another computer that is working (presumably on this same network) if you can provide the ipconfig /all information from that computer I can make some suggestions as to how you might manually assign some static values to the problem PC to perhaps overcome the immediate problem.
But again if you are not being allowed to make these changes by a domain security policy then that won't help either.
Additionally if you can provide any further information regarding the specific name, model name and number and revision number of your card we may be able to help further. Try this,
type
ncpa.cpl
into the search or run box and hit enter
select then right click the problem adapter and choose properties
click the configure button and select the advanced tab
in the left column
look for something called "Network Address"
in the right column
change the radio button from "Not Present" to the other one
and enter
001c258ca03a
into the "Value" box
That's the actual physical address of your adapter (MAC)
Then look for something in the left column called
Speed & Duplex
and in the right column use the drop down arrow to change the "Auto Negotiate" to
10Mbps/Half Duplex
OK your way back out of there and reboot your computer.
Keep us posted as to the results.
Regards
Randy
