WinXP Pro, "Limited to no Connectivity" , fails to get IP Address...

Try typing the following in a DOS window: 'netsh winsock reset catalog', then hit enter, then reboot the PC.

9 times out of 10 it works for me.

 

Or, try down loading the fix from here: http://tinyurl.com/53ksz

 

ok, nothing was working. went home for the weekend, unplugged my PC since I wasn't using it, and call me paranoid, but I don't fully trust surge protecters, and since there were supposed to be storms, I unplugged it.

Got back, plugged PC back in, turned it on....and the wired connection was working...

***?!?

OK, something you guys had me do took effect...no idea what fixed it, but it is now working.

And so I say:

"THANK YOU!!! "
