For unknown reasons, my Win XP Home PC now cannot connect
to the Internet. I have not made any changes to the PC.
The computer shares a router with 2 other PCs at home.
These other PCs have no problem connecting to the
Internet. I have tried System Restore but it didn't work.
I have checked all the TCP/IP parameters against my other
computers that shares the same router. Everything is the
same except that when I look at Network Connections,
click on LAN Connection (its says enabled), then Support
tab, it says that Address Type is "Automatic Private
Address". This is different from my other working computer
which says "Assigned by DHCP". The IP address and subnet
mask are also different. But I do not know how to change
them.
When I click on "repair", it says that it is unable to
renew the IP address and to contact network administrator
or ISP.
Plse advise what do I need to do to restore my Internet
connection. Many thanks for your assistance.
