Re: OT - Computer nerds unite! I have a networking problem...

[Peter J. Alling]

Windows XP is pretty damn stable.  Settings could have been changed 
during an automatic update.   That
would require re-setting things but a since Tan didn't report a system 
crash I doubt that anything was corrupted.
If she were running WinMe that would be a different story. After my last 
crash I lost all communication capabilities
I upgraded to Win98se and Win2K.  Lots of other problems on the Win98se 
but haven't lost communication with the
internet since then.

Have you tried simply rebooting everything including router and cable
   

modem?
 

Sometimes that is all that's needed.
   

Doesn't fit the symptoms.
1)  She doesn't have a router
2)  The cable modem is working just fine, as she can
    get to the internet on her primary (desktop) machine.
