Have you tried resetting the internet protocol?? Here is a link to microsoft's site to do it.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;299357&Product=winxp In the old days I would remove tcp/ip and then reinstall it. But XP you can not remove it. If that did not work you can use the system file checker to check your system files. You will need the xp cd. Type this at the run box. sfc /scannow Dan Goldberg -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Gunnar Ekblad Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2004 7:30 AM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - SV: OT: Finding bad NIC's Thank You Dan That was the first thing I did (in my case 192.168.0.1) so understand my frustration, when everything should work and it is not Gunnar Ekblad -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Fr�n: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] F�r Dan Goldberg Skickat: den 26 februari 2004 16:23 Till: RBASE-L Mailing List �mne: [RBASE-L] - SV: OT: Finding bad NIC's If you are going to try manual ip config then you would also have to put in the gateway ip address(your router's ip). That should give you the internet.

Same result DHCP client not working. Manual ip config (192.168.0.146) within the router address sequence (192.168.0.100 -- 192.168.0.199) gives the LAN live but not the internet. I still belive this is either lack of my knowledge of XP/Networking or a corrupted OS. Yes I looked and I stopped and started the DHCP client service and it start automatic. Any ides before I do format c: on Tuesday is appreciated Gunnar Ekblad -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Fr�n: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] F�r Troy Sosamon Skickat: den 26 februari 2004 15:50 Till: RBASE-L Mailing List �mne: [RBASE-L] - SV: OT: Finding bad NIC's Have you tried uninstalling and Re-installing the network card. Under administrative tools/services, look at the DHCP Client service and make sure it has started and Automatic.

I tried another so I tend to belive I am in postion where format c: and start all over is only way forward Gunnar Ekblad -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Fr�n: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] F�r Troy Sosamon Skickat: den 26 februari 2004 02:58 Till: RBASE-L Mailing List �mne: [RBASE-L] - SV: OT: Finding bad NIC's Gunnar, Normally if you have something like a DSL connection, the DSL Modem/Router needs to have the DHCP server turned on. To test your XP workstation, open a good old DOS window. Type ipconfig /all This will display all of your nics, ip addresses, gateway, and dns servers. Now try ipconfig /release This should let go of the ip address and if you do ipconfig /all, you should see 0.0.0.0. Finally try ipconfig /renew This should give you a new ip address. I have found if things are messed up these commands will give you errors that should point you in the right direction. I did have a problem on an XP machine where the DHCP CLIENT SERVICE got turned off. You might want to take a look at it in the task manager.

I have one NIC that does not behave! I CAN MANUALLY GIVE IT AN ip -ADDRESS BUT THEN ONLY INTRANETWORKS, Not Internet, If I ask for automatic IP-adress I get an error message. The closet I come to my understanding of the issue (in XP pro) is that the orginal setup was for an ADSL with PPOE when I am now wanting a shared connection I cant find how to enable the the DHCP clinet (Of cource I can add the DHCP client is started). This Microsoft stuff drives me mad sometimes even if it might be to my own lack of knowledge.! I know it ios off topic and I gladly pay my fees if I get enligtment! Sorry Bernie not give an answer but only one question more!
