I have a computer that I’m trying to fix, it has Win98SE installed on to it. Basically I can’t connect to the internet. What fixes it temporarily is if I release all and then renew all through WINIPCFG. After I do this I can get onto the net. However, once I reboot, I can no longer get on and I have to do the WINIPCFG release/renew again if I want to connect.

I’ve tried all the winsock fixes there are. I’ve scanned with multiple anti-virus scanners as well as anti-spyware programs. I’ve come up with no spyware or viruses on the computer. I’ve uninstalled all network programs such as tcp/ip and windows networking and reinstalled them to no avail.

I really need to figure this out without formatting.

If anyone can help, please let me know what worked for you.
