Hi all,

I am using Windows XP and my lan connection suddenly went nuts yesterday. It waits for a few moments on "Still acquiring network address" and then goes to "Limited or no connectivity". The same internet works fine on gf's laptop.

I have read few of the same kind of topics on here but they were solved with different techniques.Anyways, i used the diagnostic programs that were suggested before.FSS result is below and the Minitoolbox result is attached.

**** End of log ****

At the time it stopped working,i was using connectify to open a hotspot. I dont know if it could have something to do with this problem. Also,i have tried repair option,it gets stuck in renewing ip. Flushing ip and renewing it didnt work.Re-installing the ethernet driver didnt work too.Problem persists.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I have been too long without a stable internet,so if there is nothing i can do to fix it, i am going to take it to computown for fix tomorrow.
Hope someone can suggest something for me to try by then(roughly 13 hours from now) :(

An update: Tried copying ip,dns and default gateway numbers from another laptop that used the same internet, and it worked.However, when i use automatic ip obtaining, it still gives me the same problem. How can i solve this once and for all?? Is it possibly ssomething to do with no default gateway? When i checked HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/ System/ Current Control Set/ Services/ Tcpip/ Parameters/ Interfaces,my Default gateways had no value.Should i just try adding sth there?

Run the internet repair tool with all options ticked then reboot.

Open your device manager hit the start button then right click on computer then select properties then select device manager.

In device manager, click the View menu and select Show hidden devices

Then hit view again and select devices by connection.



Then scroll down right click and uninstall the drivers listed below,dont worry these will be reinstalled upon reboot by windows.



Ancillary Function Driver for Winsock or AFD
Http
Ip NetWork Adress Translator
IpSec Driver
Netbios over tcpip
Tcp/ip Protical Driver
Windows Socket 2.0 Non-IFS Service Provider Support Environment


Each of these files will request a reboot after uninstall wait until the last one to reboot.

Thanks for your reply rockmilk!

Have done all of the above to no avail(except there were no Windows Socket 2.0 Non-IFS Service Provider Support Environment) :(
Soemthing slightly changed though,Lan connection first connects,and when i try to open internet via campus connection program,it gives the same mistake and Lan goes back to "acquiring network address".

And as i said,when i input the ip,dns,and default gateway numbers manually,it works. But,i use campus net and i dont know if the current ip and stuff will be valid later or not.Might need to keep checking from a working computer the settings all the time.

You could create a new user and see if that helps.
