Ethernet Woes - HP t5540 Thin Client

So I'm house-sitting at my friend's house the next few days, I brought my HP t5540 Thin Client with me so I could test nPOPuk.

Anyway, I'm connecting directly to their router with an ethernet cable, and while CE shows the adapter is "connected", I'm unable to get a connection to the Internet.
IE keeps hanging and then says "Local Intranet" in bottom corner, eventually saying "Page Cannot Be Displayed"
I even tried renewing the lease too.

Is there anything else to try?

Can you ping anything on the web?

Try a static IP address with 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as the DNS servers

That worked I can get google.com what you said plus me putting
255.255.255.255 for subnet mask and default gateway for 192.168.50.1 (most people it would be 192.168.0.1, their router is weird)
Now when I open Npopuk I get “verify of ssl failed unable to get local issuer certificate” error 20

I’m trying to diagnose internet problems before I think it’s a bug with the x86 beta of Npopuk

255.255.255.255 err, that shouldn't work. 255.255.255.0 is more like it and I assume a typo

Most peoples CPE's in the UK use 192.168.1.0. Only Virgin Media use 192.168.0.0 out of the big providers.

Okay I switched the subnet mask to have .0 at the end.

Internet Explorer works to load google and search results

I still can’t get Npopuk to work

Same error as before

Would you say I ruled out the internet being the issue ?

it worked on a /32 network mast o.O

That's a bug

Put vxUtil on and vxHPC or putty and try and telnet into the POP server port, just make sure it isn't being firewalled off.

I did ping for the outlook pop server. Using vxutil
It was successful. I don’t know how to really telnet though

"verify of ssl failed unable to get local issuer certificate" sounds like a ca.pem issue? Then you need to install it on an appropriate place. idk it's where for current testing version but try the root directory and whatever.

You saved me again!
You were right. It worked
