Unable to connect to router, XP64

[jmerkow]

When I woke up this morning my PC running xp64 would not connect to the internet. I reset the modem and the router. I set my IPs manually on my wired connections, but on this one I turned on DCHP, this did not fix the problem. I have have tried IP repair and ipconfig release/renew. I have switches Ethernet port on the computer, and tried using WinSockFix. Also ran these commands
netsh winsock reset catalog
netsh int ip reset reset.logI am running ad aware now, got some hits, after it finishs i will post back here.

Anything else you guys can think of? any other info you want?

 

[jmerkow]

running ad aware did not help.

anyone know windows repair procedures for this?

Try the full XP stack repair for SP2/SP3.

TCP/IP stack repair options for use with Windows XP with SP2/SP3.

Start, Run, CMD to open a command prompt:

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

Note: Type only the text in bold for the following commands.

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

Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults, type: netsh winsock reset catalog

Reboot the machine.



Let's see this after you have done the reset and have the cable properly connected.

Hold the Windows key and press R, then type CMD to open a command prompt:

In the command prompt window that opens, type 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

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.
Paste the results in a message here.

If you are on a machine with no network connection, use a floppy, USB disk, or a CD-RW disk to transfer a text file with the information to allow pasting it here.

I have already done all that. No help. I'll grab the IP information.

That node type unknown, makes me concerned.... never seen that before. You familiar with it?

also, when i login the computer hangs for about a minute, taskbar and desktop icons don't load. It might be shorter than a minute, but its unsually long.

Suggest that you run the repairs per JohnWill's post again--partly because sometimes people have had better luck with the second time and partly because I don't know if the order matters.

Causes for getting an APIPA include Router's Dhcp server disabled, bad router LAN port, bad cable, corrupted driver, bad NIC and non-Windows firewall (security suite) blocking everything.

I ran them again before I did ipconfig/all. DHCP is working fine on my other computers. Even when I manually set my ip (which is what i usually do) i cannot connect to the router. Ive tested the cable, and switched the ethernet port. I doubt both are broken. I will try reinsalling the driver.

Update:

I reformatted... After reformat they still did not work. Seems like its bad nics. I've been meaning to upgrade my computer anyway. I take this chance to buy a new cpu and mobo.
