I am encountering the following problem on my XP SP2 computer.
a) Computer boots up and gets an IP address from my DHCP server (a
linksys router)
b) I can ping my assigned IP address just fine
c) I can execute the command ipconfig/renew just fine
d) but I cannot ping the DHCP server or any other IP address
I can reproduce this behavior consistently. The computer had been
running fine for years, but this problem started happening just a few
days ago.
I reset winsock using the command "netsh winsock reset", but that
didn't improve anything.
Is it possible that the NIC is going bad? How can I verify (or rule
out) a bad NIC? Any other ideas? (If I'm posting in the wrong group,
can you suggest another one?)
Thanks in advance!
