Probs Obtaining IP Addy

[Guest]

I have Win XP Pro comp that one day quit obtaining IP
address from my linksys router, basic configuration. all
other computers have no problem. i have changed out the
NIC and still just gets a 169 address. I reset the
TCP/IP Stack and still no luck. I even did a Repair
install of XP Pro. I have tried all i know and can't get
it to obain an ip from any network.

Also, i have no firewalls running, including the built in
windows fire wall. If i try to use the command prompt to
renew the ip, this is the message i get:

"An error occurred while renewing interface Local Area
Connection: An operation was attempted on something that
is not a socket."

This message appears no matter which card i try to use
after replacing it with 2 other cards, both get the same
message.

Thanx for your help

God Bless

I have traced several of these problems to improperly configured winsock
LSPs. Run "winmsd" and go to Components/Network/Protocol. Look at the
names in the list, anything with "MSAFD" in it or the "RSVP xxx Service
Provider" should be fine. Anything else is suspect, and uninstalling the
owning program might help.

If that fails or your provider list is empty, you may need to rebuild the
catalog from scratch. The following instructions will rebuild your catalog
for TCP/IP. If you are using any other transports (If you don't know, then
you probably aren't) then you will have to reinstall them as well.

NOTE: You may want to print out these instructions or save them to your
hard disk before starting.

1. Backup and delete the following registry keys

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock2

2. Reboot

3. Go to the network connections folder, right click the icon for your
network connection, and select properties.

4. Click install, choose "protocol", and click "add..."

5. Click "Have Disk...", enter "\windows\inf", click OK

6. Select "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), click OK

7. When the process in complete, reboot
