This is a Dell Laptop I was going to give to my sister-in-law.
I wiped the hard drive using the install disk and reinstalled XP. Every thing
seems to be working, except
it will not get on the Internet.
I've compared all the settings with the ones on my lap top on the same
connections and they match exactly.
I removed and reinstalled the Ethernet card, reset the model unstalled the
networking components,
restarted and reinstalled the networking components/
The first time I tried this, in less the time it took to get MS updates, a
virus got on it..created the
mscon*g32.exe file.
I wiped the hard drive and started all over, this time enabling firewall before
I connected the Ethernet
plug., but I still can not get on.
I've done the repair, went to command prompt and typed ipconfig /renew and some
other switches I found on
the net still with no luck.
I keep getting no connection is available, then page can not be displayed.
Open the Local area connection and it shows bytes being sent and none received.
If I ping my IP address 169.254.84.214 I get results, but ping something on the
net and no luck, even by
IP address.
I really can't afford to spend another entire day on this thing. Does anyone
have any ideas for me?
Thank you.
Jeff
