Hope someone out there can help me
I have 2 pc one is with win 2k (my wifes) the other (mine) with winxp pro
connected in a small p2p lan to share files and printers. each have its own
firewall (zonealarm) it all worked perfect.

some days ago i used diskeeper to defrag my harddisk on the xp system
(boottime defrag, also the pagefile) this went fine, system came up and was
running. I notices that my panda titan antivirus suggested a reinstall, so
i downloaded the newest version and installed. this needed a reboot. while
waiting for the pc to start up i fetshted a cup of coffee and on returning i
realized there was a number of messages rolling down the screen. they were
in colours like from xp, something about missing or misplaced xxx. i was
puzzelt but since system came on 100% like before i did not worry,
programmes worked.

then i realized i did not get mail and could not acces internet from my pc,
but ok on my wifes.

i have checked everyting and it works. the netcard is transmitting and
receiving, but just a few small packages, there is no connection "out" and
the other pc is not seen.

i then disconnected all 4 HD on my system put in a blank one installed xp on
that, and bingo i was back again, so i trust all hardware is ok.

my question is: how do i fix the original system. how do i diagnose and how
do i fix it???

i send this out while on the temp HD, and will stay on that until i see a
reply, alas i cannot work since i will not install other software.

kind regards

"unplugged"
 
i have the exact same problem. system restore did not
help. it seems as though i lost the dynamic ip address
and cannot get it back. all my settings are set correctly
for DHCP but it will not automatically retrieve it's ip
address.
 
sure, its the similar/ same problem, but who knows how to fix it?
what are you doing in the meantime?

i have reinstalled xp twice, with the same problem,
internet is connected, but no internet programs
(iexplorer, ping, msn messenger) cannot access the
internet, i have panda antivirus platinum 7.0, and
adaware in both instances
