Limited or No Connectivity Problem
I recently blew my friends motherboard after installing extra RAM into it - ive replaced the board, and it found the already installed XP, everything worked ok except the net connection. It tried to connect but seemed to hang on Assigning an IP - Limited or No Connectivity. Checked the usual suspects: IP/TCP stack, winsock and winsock 2 errors - repaired these.

I've now reinstaled XP after formatting the HD - everything is A1, super fast except I get the same problem with Limited or No Connectivity. I use a BT Home Hub, it works because im using the Laptop on a wireless connection, ive also connected the laptop up via ethernet cable (same one that PC is connected to) and its ok - Still no internet, can anyone point me in the right direction as to where I am going wrong, i'm pulling my hair out now

Most probably seems like a driver problem with network card.

Did you install the network card driver from cd or did Win XP picked it automatically?

Did you install the chipset drivers for the motherboard after reformatting and installing XP?

@rsinfo - onboard network card was picked up automatically, as was the one I purchased as I thought the onboard was no good - ive also deleted the network card that I installed, rebooted and installed the drivers off the CD.

@PeteC - When I installed the motherboard, I went thru the setup book as I was supposed to and installed everything ( I think ) that it suggested:

Chipset Driver
Lan Driver
cant remember the next one

The PC works A1 - its faster than it has ever been, I just cant access the net

Cheers

Try powering off the network modem for 30 seconds then power up to refresh IP.

At a command prompt (Start > Run type cmd press OK) can you enter this command:
Code:
ipconfig /all > ipconfig.txt
This will create a new file called ipconfig.txt. Post the contents of the file to this thread.
