I have a user who is experiencing "Limited or No Network Activity". I am
unable to repair the network connection because the IP address cannot be
renewed. I am able to ping the DHCP server and see that the DHCP service is
runing (even tried restarting it) but I cannot get an IP address. I have
verified that there is a sufficient pool of addresses available. What could
be causing this and how can it be reapired.

"This connection has limited or no connectivity. "
"You might not be able to access the Internet or some network resources"
Symptoms: after installed Windows XP SP2 and, you may experience one or any of the following symptoms:

· The network connection is working properly while you receive this message "Limited or No Connectivity".

· The network connection displays above message and you can’t access the network.

· You can’t renew the IP and receive this error: “An error occurred when renewing interface Local Area Connection: Unable to contact your DHCP server. Request has timed out.â€

· The ipconfig displays an APIPA address 169.254.x.x address.

· You have trouble connecting to the Internet with the DLS or cable modem.

Resolutions:

1. If your computer is currently connected to the Internet and the LAN without any connection problem, you may want to disable the message "Limited or No Connectivity".

2. If you are using DHCP, verify DHCP server is available on your network and other computers can access it.

3. Download and install the Update for Windows XP Service Pack 2 (KB884020)

4. Check hardware connetion and configuration.

5. Check firewall, spyware and winsock settings.

Hello,

I've TrendNet PCMCIA WiFi adapters in 2 systems to connect in 802.11g to an
AP/Router SMC2804WBR.
For weeks now, I'm facing a recurrent problem when starting the WiFi
connection on each system . The radio connection is well detected but it
can takes minutes to hours to establish the final IP connection either in
fixed IP or in DHCP IP. ( it's looping in "Waiting for Network").

When connection is successful, after, it works fine with good signal and
speed.

It's not a question of signal strengh or quality because NetStumbler is
detecting a very good radio connection.

I went through the forums and find many persons pointing the same problem
and situation with SP2, I installed the MS correction KB884020
"WinsockXPFix.exe"
proposed by MS, but it doesn't solve my problem.

My guess is that's related to the new way of processing WiFi which arrived
with SP2 ... I discussed with TRENDNET TechSupport and they don't see any
solution ...

Does somebody has new ideas and can help me solving this problem?

Thanks in advance

Change from DHCP to a static IP address on this particular PC and see if it
works then. The problem may be with the Router (if one is used), in which
case, should the static address work, you may want to reset the router.

It's the same result when using static IP adrdress and restarting the PC and
router accordingly...
Thanks for your help.
