I recently encountered the "Limited or No Connectivity" issue with my Desktop
with XP SP2 whenever I repaired the connection I would get the error "Windows
could not finish repairing the problem because the following action could not
be completed: Renewing your IP address" and windows would assign an an IP
address of 169.254.xxx.xxx when it should be something like 192.168.1.3
Eventually I found that if I set the NIC to "10 BaseT Full Duplex" it would
pick up a DHCP configuration from the router and was PINGable and
communicated. But not if set to "Auto-negotiate" nor to any of the "100
BaseT" settings.
If I wire my Laptop (XP SP1) in to the same router port with the same cable
it connects seamlessly at 100MBps.....Does anybody have an idea how to get
this connection running at 100MBps?
