After building a new XP system I had a disk failure. In a desparate bid not to lose all my install work, I bought Copy Commander and a new disk. I was surprised that everything seemed to be up and running on the new disk even after some failures reported by copy commander. The only thing that seems to be causing a problem is the network:

I can't seem to get all of the network (internal and external to cable modem) talking to each-other now. I can manually set IP to get out on the new computer, but haven't been able to talk to the other computers over the HomeFree phone network since the crash. (ICS broken?) When I try to repair a connection the following error appears: "The following steps of the repair operation failed: Purging and reloading the remote cache name table of NetBT. Sending Name Release packets to WINS and then starting Refresh. Refreshing all DHCP leases and re-registering DNS names. Please contact your network administraator or ISP."

I read Jupiter Jone's reply to "system lost power" which sounds a bit like my predicament. Should I try that method, or are there some specific files that are missing or corrupted? I guess my registry must not be in too bad a shape as all other programs, office, scientic computing package, printers, usb, video, sound card, etc. seem in good order. I really, really don't want to start all over with a clean install again if there is a way to find and patch the corrupted or missing files. Advice from experts in XP would be greatly appreciated.
 
Since your problems seem to be limited to networking, you
will likely get better help through the Networking and
the Web forum than here.
