Home Network issue Unable to connect to DHCP, unable to renew IP

Hello,

New to all this myself so be kind, I Have had a home networkiing running all okies for about 6 months no problems at all, Now since installing SP2 i have problems here and there but none that really confused me till now.

My Network Dropped out two days ago and every time i repaired the network i got Unable to connect to DHCP, unable to renew IP, etc now ive checked all cables and config /all & renewed ip switched router off etc but no luck.

Last night i did a system restall Now Network starts working all okies with my Xbox but not Pc (B) but still a Network. Now a mate is fiddling with my Pc Today and Installs the New TweakXP4 Reboots and this program thought what the heck ill turn off all "System Restore Points"

Now i am back to Square One with no Home Network,Internet i can get on all okies on Pc (A) No network on pc (b) or Xbox

I have tried all the things i can think of and with out a system restore i am lost as can't get it back to before my "Helpful" mate got hold of my pc

Please could someone give me advise.

 

Hi Cop1962 and welcome to the forum. We should be able to get all this sorted but a little more information would be helpful.

- What operating system(s) are you running? With XP it always helps to know if it's Pro or Home since they do lots of things very differently.

- Wired or wireless network?

- What specific device is doing DHCP for you?
