Try putting in the IP address as 192.168.0.2, and gateway, and dns as 192.168.0.1 manually. Let us know if you can then connect.

I always put in the numbers manually for my home network. That way, I always know it will be correct and work.

 

Actually, there's absolutely no reason to have to manually configure the network, just creates more work for you.

TCP/IP stack repair options for use with Windows XP with SP2.

Start, Run, CMD to open a command prompt:

Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults: netsh winsock reset catalog

Reset TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ip reset reset.log

Reboot the machine.

 

how and where do I enter it manually

 

It works thank you sooo much, I reset the winsock and rebooted and now it works

 

Glad we could help.
