Re: Internet Problem



Glad you got it resolved. I though it might be winsock related. Surprised
that netsh did not help and thanks for letting me know it did not. You
probably used lspfix which seems to be pretty popular. --- Steve

Thanks Steven, tried that with no joy, discovered that it was a winsock
problem and found a niffty utility to fix it. Somehow winsock got
corrupted.

Kind Regards


Stew.

P.S No I wasn't using the same IP address for the computers :-]

internet and then ping the IP address that is returned from the problem
computer to see if that works or not. If that works you may have a
problem
with winsock on the computer and you can use the command netsh int ip
reset
c:\resetlog.txt to reset winsock to see if that helps. --- Steve

I'm trying to setup a computer to use the internet throught a Ethernet
SmartSwitch.

As soon as I boot up the XP Pro machine it cannot assign an ip address
so
I
manually do it

ie 192.168.2.100
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
gateway of 192.168.2.1 (dns)

that says it is fine but still internet explorer or anything else that
uses
the inter will not work.

Using the command prompt I can ping 192.168.2.1 and it works fine. Ip
config
says it is fine too.

I have tried the wizards for setting up the internet and network with
no
joy. With lan settings I have tried ticking on/off automatically detect
settings.

Two other computers are set up exactly the same way and work. Can
anyone
please help?

Thanks.


Stewart
