No Internet On main computer

[star393]

Windows XP Pro comcast cable modem linksys router ,

Hard wired systems not using wyfi ,my main computer got wacked somehow as it was the only computer on at the time thur router another computer works fine which was off at the time.

Problem is since jan 30 2011 i cannot for the life on me get this computer back on line. went through all i kmow how to do and yet windows willnot allow a ip address to get on line. I cannot ping anything and ipconfig willnot show a mac or ip address router is delivering one but windows keeps telling me contact your network person. under repair network willnot conect all other tests pass. proper boxes are checked in devices and comcast as no other advise for4 me. We went thur the deal 4 times together. Plugging cable modem directly into said computer willnot offer any diff. out comes.
Using windows defender but turn off and no other firewall. Did have Noprton but uninstalled it,no changes. Reloaded devices and connections wizARD MANY TIMES no luck. Tried aux network card same deal no luck. Ran malware and regisry software and trojant finder no luck. ip router enabled no wins proxy enabled no net bois over tcpip disabled .
Looked into log and found Failed to load net bios and netBT Tried net bois over tcpip box but that didnot work either. The three devices are in windows/system32/devices afd.sys tcpip.sys net bt.sys I did abunch of other stuff trying to keep a log of what i did. Still pulling the hair out of my head any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated. Iam a hargware person from dos 3 still have all my junk around 200 baud modem for sale LMAo
how about a big 1 meg harddrive dam aim old. No cherry but this software stuff pulls my hair out. Just no time to read alot. Thanks ahead of time

Was there something going on weather or electrical at the time? It could be that your network card is damaged. It sounds a lot like it was. It used to happen more often, I had a stash of extras for a while.

You could try a new network card or a wireless one. I like a simple USB wireless, installs quickly, less chance of someone doing something wrong when the case stays closed too.

Did that already with installing another network card same deal No electrical problems accurred. Electrical system is protected from computers. And i do have a 11,000 rpm BBC darg Race car

i ran at the run box cmd/k sc qc dhcp and nothing other then black box with documents and settings adm showed up no info . I hate to have to reinstall wins again for the 100th time, i like to know what goes wrong. I guess i like pain.

Back in the day when 250 MB hard drives were it i used to take them apart and change the bearings and repair the ribbon on the heads common failure causes, not today hard drives are like old shoes replace em. but still today it pays to pull your covers blow out the dirt from power supply,check the fans and most importantly look at all your capacitors on the mother board, at the tops and see if there expanding from age and just cheap caps. You can replace them before your system IDE goes bad and then your in trouble. There cheap and easy to do if you have some talent. But do watch them and head off problems or just replace your M/B , before your pulling your hair out too.

Forgive all of the questions, I'm trying to get the picture so I don't ask you things that you've already done.

Do you show a network card in the Device manager (the one in control panel, i'm not good with the file)? Does it show the right model? It's not asking for a driver in the device manager?

When you run ipconfig does it show Ethernet Adapter Network Area Connection and then just no MAC or ip under it or does it not even list that line?

I usually want to know why and how and fix the problem rather than a work around. Sometimes it's not worth my sanity. I'd hit a box store, try a usb wireless as a work around, if it doesn't work you can take it back.

Netbios over tcp/ip does need to be enabled but you tried that and other than that, nothing obvious in the config yet because it seems like maybe it's not even reading the card properly.

I so hate reloading the OS that I've done it only twice. Maybe not smart, but i'll work on a fix for weeks rather than reload. I adminster 50+ computers, surely i've needed to reinstall the OS more than that. Just hearing reformat, install the OS makes me shudder. You'll never get that as a suggestion from me.

Hello again thanks for repleys

Yes network card is in device manager and correct devices drivers, and is enabled and running. I reloaded it several times and reloaded it in save mode also. Iam not sure if ipconfig shows card ,but ill check later today. Remember i also installed another network card and used that and still had same problems.So i went back to oem on board network adapter.

YES the network card is listed in the ipconfig/all command

[handygal]

I was looking through my settings and amend my previous statemetn, netbios needs to be enabled if you use static ip's. I generally do so that sticks with me.

Are you static or DHCP?

The netbios error in the log concerns me. Is there more info on it? I'd like to make sure that isn't the source. I'd like to try to get my XP machine set the way yorus is and see if the netbios would keep me from connecting. If it is netbios we could focus on that.

Here's my ipconfig /all can you tell my what is different in yours? (if you are static, I'll change mine over)

hrlow2 just reminded me in another thread that sometimes it's not the computer, it's the router. I forget that sometimes when other computers are working.

I think some routers have security functions in them that recognize your mac but if other things have changed, they block you thinking you might be spoofed or otherwise compromised. That's my theory, I've never bothered to investigate it. Have you reset your connection all the way from the modem?

i did connect directly to modem bypassing router no luck also my router is giving my computer a ip address.

my ipconfig has no addresses all zeros

ran ipconfig/flushdns no luck there also
i cannot copy my ipconfig and post it like you did just have file how do i send it????????
my ip is DHCP from comcast

also i have error when trying to renew ip address = RPC server is unavailable

I did check router info thats all ok and issuing ip address to my computer but windows willnot allow see your network manager.

Thanks for working with me

[Colemanguy]

what was the netsh qc command supposed to do? Who told you to run that? Google gave me very rough ideas that its used to reset some of the dhcp stuff. netsh winsock reset command only works if its windows xp sp2 or greater. The bigger concern to me is dispearing devices and rpc errors, which indicate a damaged os, I would first recommend your put in your xp cd, and at the run box type, sfc /scannow which stands for system file checker, and start with that. Are programs randomly crashing and stuff or other then the no internet is the system working normaly?
