I had a similar problem with XP pro. After one of MS auto
updates I lost all network connections and the only way I
could return to normality was to give each computer a fixed
address AND tell it to use the ISPs DCHP address. No matter
what I did none of my 4 machines would talk to my server or
the outside world.
I also to stopped my own DHCP server but I can still use but
have moved the start address to 25.
The problem was that my main computer started to us the MS
default LAN address and NOT what it was supposed to.
Click on the network icon on the tray and you will fin 2 tabs
on the ensuing window. Go to the support one and you will see
the machine's address. Its probably noting like what it
should be. Go back to the first and select properties and then
scroll down to TCP and select properties. Here you can give
it a fixed address and everything else you need then go back
to your router and do the same.
IP address is: 192.168.1.101
