Just recently reinstalled windows xp hom on my computer, updated to servic pack 3, an cannot connect to the internet. When i do the ip config /all cmd i get this: Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : home Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Unknown IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-E0-4C-A6-78-AA Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration IP Address. . . : 169.254.237.227 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0 IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : ?

Is this a driver issue? What can i do? Thanks for your help!! System info: HP AMD Athlon xp 2500 Win XP sp3

I would try updating the drivers on the NIC before doing anything else. If this doesn't fix the issue, you'll want to verify that the network cable you're using is working properly and that the port you're plugged into is also ok. If your router has multiple LAN ports, simply plug into another. If the ports are fine and the cable is fine and drivers don't fix the issue, your NIC may be broken.

Could you connect before the reinstall? Question relates to your router's dhcp server actually working

If you believe you have set up everything correctly, then probably you can try this winsockfix, maybe can solve your problem.

updated drivers, fixed everything. Thanks!
