I have a Dell Dimension 8100 running XP SP2 connected via patch cable to a
Linksys router. It has worked uninterrupted for well over a year. Yesterday
it working in the morning and when I used it in the afternoon Norton was
yelling at me because it couldn't get to the internet. That's when I noticed
the "limited or no connectivity" status on my local area connection. I tried
a ipconfig release/renew but the renew fails because the server service
failed to start. My laptop connect fine (wireless or wired) to the router so
the DHCP server in the router seems to be ok. I've changed patch cables and
tried assigning a static IP to the desktop. Nothing works. Dell diag says
the adapter is ok. Sounds like I'm suddenly missing something from XP
networking or something is corrupt. Any help would be appreciated.
