internet stopped

[Jake]

Suddenly all internet connectivity on my XP Pro machine
stopped. This means Explorer, Outlook, AOL, Mozilla,
Real, etc. Hardware and cable connections are good. Ditto
drivers. I'm connected to a small network through a
Lynksys router to a Road Runner cable modem. Other
machines on this network are unaffected. My machine
worked fine for months until this suddenly happened.
Pinging fails to locate servers...any servers. Any ideas?
Thanks.

I solved a similar situation earlier today thanks to the advice of PA Bear
in another newsgroup...

suing Winsock XP Fix

(http://www.snapfiles.com/get/winsockxpfix.html) or
any of the other items found at http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/winsock.htm.

Jake,

can the problem computer still ping and see the other computers
in the LAN?

Perhaps you could run ipconfig and post the results here.
