Thanks for the suggestions. I spent some time on your site trying to
troubleshoot. I ran the LSPfix tool, and reset the Winsock registry by using
a couple of the utilities you suggested. I manually set the IP address, but
still couldn't access the internet.
One other interesting note - the IP address assigned to this PC is outside
the range of my other computers (they are typically 192.168.1.X). As shown
below, this one is 169.254.182.23. Any other suggestions ? Here is my
ipconfig result:
Windows IP Configuration

Thanks again guys.

I have multiple PCs hooked up wirelessly to my cable modem. All of them can
access the internet - except for one. I tried reinstalling my Belkin card
and spent numerous hours trying to figure this out.
I'm running SP2 - it worked fine for a year, then I got a pop-up virus and
maybe messed up some settings when trying to clean my PC ?
When I click on the Belkin utility, it shows that I have an IP address, but
no "gateway" "DNS" or "WINS". I thought XP obtains its IP address via DHCP?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Check for LSP / Winsock /TCP/IP corruption.
