Missing IP, LAN connection will not repair.

[Andy Pickering]

Quite recently, completely out of the blue, as far as I'm
aware, my computer refused to connect to my LAN (two
computers in my house set up for file/connection/printer
sharing via a netgear DG814 router).

I found out that when I opened the property box all the
network information like the IP address, Subnet mask, etc.
was 'unavailable', when I ran ipconfig from a command
promt, it didn't tell me anything, and when I used
the 'repair connection' feature, it gave me a message
like 'failed to query TCP/IP'. As far as I know, the
network card and everything else is fine.

Does anyone know what's causing this problem and how to
solve it?

Thanks, Andy

Hi Andy,

I am having the same problem =(
Out of nowhere my kids PC stopped working on the network to my PC(gateway to
Internet)
I am not sure what I should be using in the network properties box.
I says the following:

Under advanced ICS it says allow other computers to access the internet
connection?
Select a private network connection - should I use - "Local Area Connection"
or "Kids Computer"?
Help greatly appreciated.

Thanks Much,

Jack Barrett
