There is no joy in Mudville. 
Doug, I did try manually giving it an IP in the first go-round. It had no effect the first time, or when I tried again last night. The NIC has always showed up properly in the device manager, and I re-installed the drivers just the same - all to no avail - during my first trouble-shooting session. 
So, I stopped by mom's house last night on my way to church. I figured I'd start with the simple stuff mentioned, and the short answer is that I'm still where I was before, just a little more disheartened... 
I checked, and the NLA service is up and running just fine; TCP/IP filtering is not on; and the firewall's configuration is the same as when I first set it up. Just the same, I disabled it and nothing new happened.
I sorted through the log files, and while there are a couple entries I'm not sure about (I'll be looking at those after I'm a little more awake), by and large there's nothing that jumps out of the logs.
I tried netsh winsock reset with no luck, and netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt didn't change anything eiter. (and yes, I did reboot after each attempted fix before I declared it a failure  )
I've got the system and application logs, and I'll probably post those up later if anyone is feeling generous enough to help me slog through them. 
At this point, I'm thinking it might just be easier to go get her computer on Friday, and spend Saturday giving it a clean install... though that won't help in figuring out what happened.
I do want to let y'all know that I really do appreciate the help. Thank you.  |

Multiple times. It was one of the first things I did.

It's a laptop, so maybe you can get it out and try it in another network, to factor out the router as a cause...
If I run out of options, I'll probably get it this Sat. and I'll try that with my home network before I wipe it. |

Been there, tried that.
I had downloaded it the first time when I hooked my laptop up to the network to make sure it wasn't a router issue. |

| rather than wiping the laptop (if that is what you have to resort to) try a reinstall of sp2 or something like that |

That's a good idea. . .but before you do that, try a regualar re-install of XP (where it doens't wipe files but only reinstalls the system).

| Good ideas. I'll try those before I resort to a clean install. |

Yup. That was suggested, tried, and no luck.  |

I have this same problem with a wired PC. It would only connect to the router and nothing else on the network (it had been fine for well over a year). I searched and searched, tried everything I could and ended up speaking to Microsoft who after many days of escalating the problem to a higher tec suggested a clean install. That worked for all of a couple of months and now the problem is back, it will only connect to the router and onto the internet, nothing on the LAN, and it has a static IP.
I have just had it suggested that I map to the other 3 PC's and 2, NAS devices as it will see the network after a reboot for about 30 mins then nothing..
I will watch this thread with interest.

Haven't tried that yet... I should have been more specific: I had tried the steps outlined in the link Panhandler had posted. |
