"xpsp2 network problems" <xpsp2 network
When i try to connect to my network (my computer just to another computer) i
get a limited or no connectivedy message and when i try to repair the
connection the window says that it cant renew my ip address.
That message simply means that the computer's LAN connection didn't
obtain an IP address from a DHCP server on the network. It doesn't
necessarily mean that anything's wrong. A direct computer-to-computer
connection typically doesn't have, and doesn't need, a DHCP server.
Without a DHCP server, it isn't possible to renew your IP address.
Again, that doesn't necessarily mean that anything's wrong.
Does the network connection between the computers work? If so, you
can ignore the message.
To prevent the message from appearing:
1. Open the Network Connections folder.
2. Right-click the LAN connection.
3. Click Properties.
4. Un-check "Notify me when this connection has limited or no
connectivity".
