There is no joy in Mudville. ![](images/icon_smile_disapprove.gif)
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. ![](images/icon_smile_sleepy.gif)
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... ![](images/icon_smile_blackeye.gif)
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. ![](images/icon_smile.gif)
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. ![](images/icon_smile_big.gif) |

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. ![](images/icon_smile.gif)
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. ![](images/icon_smile_sad.gif) |

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. |
