Hi, I have a XP pro network running a dlink adsl modem/router. All was working fine, then I tried to remove norton 2004. I had to install windows scripting 5.6, it then restarted and the network now keeps saying, Acquiring Network address. No matter what I do I cannot get it to find the network.
What do I have to do, reinstall the network card? Remove windows scripting (how?)I have tried setting the TCP to fixed IP but it still did not work.
I am really stuck...any help really appreciated

I had the same problem. Here's what I did: open up My Network Places and find your network adapter. Go to properties and disable your TCP/IP connection. Do not disable the TCP/IP Version 6 connection. There is apparently a conflict with the two; either that, or the registry commands for Version 6 differ from those for the normal TCP/IP. It's still somewhat of a mystery why this works - but it does. Let me know if this works for you.
