tccp/ip problem with WinXP

[Larry]

WinXP worked fine at college and for a while at home, then
suddenly no internet access ("Page Not Found", no email,
etc). D-Link support ruled out NIC & driver (ping OK to
everyone with names and numbers, but can't ping own IP
address). Tried Micosoft KB articles to reset tcp/ip and
winsock, without correction. No firewall. System Restore
and freeware fixers didn't work either. SystemWorks
current.

Was going to try to reinstall WinXP, but CD is misplaced.

Next ?

Try this: http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html

This little utility has bailed me out of problems that has taken other techs
3 or more days.

Let me know if it works for you. If not, we will try other options

Can you ping your loopback address? (127.0.0.1)

Possibly - try:

1. Go to WINDOWS\System32\Drivers\etc\ rename your hosts file.

2. In Internet Explorer, click Tools/Internet Options. Connections tab/LAN
settings button. Make sure you are not configured to use a proxy server.

Already tried it without correction. Nice guess -- I hear
it's a great program !!

I can ping loopback and outside IP's. Also can ping
www.yahoo.com. Just can't ping own IP address, so no
internet access.

No luck on renaming hosts file. Proxy is not enabled. No
firewall either -- I double-checked!

Would it worth while to borrow a WinXP CD from someone and
try to use it to repair mine? My CD was misplaced in the
move back home.

Thanks.

I heard the Win Update recently installed a new patch to
my PC about the time that the internet access
disappeared. Would System Restore remove the patch if I
rolled back to a time when my computer was working ?

If so, I rolled back, and it did not fix the problem.
