Flushing the ARP cache

[Jack]

Though this is a very common problem in XP but absolutely
no solutions found in the tech websites. I have no
problem in accessing the Error! Hyperlink reference not
valid.. Everytime I restart my pc, I have to repair the
ip address to access the internet. I get the same old
error msg "The following operation failed while renewing
the IP address : Flushing the ARP cache". Once the IP
repair is done, I can access internet. My question is HOW
TO GET RID OF THIS ERROR MSG & WHY I HAVE TO DO A IP
REPAIR EACH TIME I RESTART MY PC ? I tried all commands
of ipconfig dns flush, arp "-d, -a", MS KB, netsh
interface ip delete arpcache, and all possible
troublehooting from all forums. But still cannot solve
this nagging problem. Can anyone help me out (PLEASE)
