Problem with network adapter

[pkmenace]

I did an avast boot time scan and since then I have been unable to connect to my local area connection to work, it keeps sitting up acquiring network address.

When I try to repair it states that windows can't repair because renewing IP address can't be completed.

I am running XP SP3.

Please Help!

moving to networking

can we see an ipconfig /all and also do a tcp/reset - see below

how are you connected - with a cable / wireless ?

------------------------------------------------------------------------
ipconfig /all
If you cannot access the internet with this PC, then you will need to paste the results into something like notepad and then copy onto a machine that can access the internet and post results here

We would like to see the results from ipconfig /all post back the results in a reply here

Hold the Windows key and press R, then type CMD then press Enter to open a command prompt box (A new dialogue box - black with white font, will appear on screen ):

In the command prompt window that opens, type the following command:

Note that there is a space before the /ALL, but there is NOT a space after the / in the following command.

ipconfig /all > network.txt & network.txt

It will export the results to notepad and then automatically open notepad.

Now all you need to do is copy and paste those results to a reply here
to do that:
From the notepad menu - choose Edit - Select all
all the text will be highlighted
Next
From the notepad menu - choose Edit - Copy
Now go back to the forum - reply and then right click in the reply box and paste
