Well it seem that my antivirus is responsible for blocking the windows
of gathering my IP Address.... The story goes by installing SP2 of
winXP.... When I havent yet installed my antivirus the windows and my
lancard successfully gathers my IP address but when I installed my
antivirus software the problem goes.. First I thought that the problem
is my Lan Card but by doing a little experiment I figure out who the
real problem or what is causing this problem....
Im using a Panda Internet Security 2005 as an AntiVirus Software..
My question is what should I do???
Should I replace my current antivirus or is there another step in
solving this problem of mine.... I hope answering this question should
help me and others who are experiencing the same type of scenario....
Thanks

In all probability Panda Internet Security includes a firewall. XP
Service Pack 2 includes a firewall. You need to turn one of them off.
Depending on your needs, I would probably disable the Windows Firewall
but that is a matter of taste. Refer to Panda's Help files for proper
configuration of their firewall. You don't need to replace anything;
you just need to configure it correctly.
