Can you ping the dhcp server by name or IP address and can it ping you after you
assign it a static IP address for testing? I would also try running netdiag on it
looking for any failed tests that may be helpful in determining the problem. Netdiag
is one of the free support tools on the install disk in the package in the support/
tools folder. Verify that the built in ICF firewall is disabled. Try setting the
network speed of the network adapter to 100 instead of auto in it's properties if
possible and disable any settings that allow the nic to go into sleep mode in it's
properties or via XP Power Management or even in the computer cmos settings. It
certainly would not hurt to try resetting tcp/ip with the netsh command. I usually
try rebooting into safemode with networking also when trying to troubleshoot network
problems as that will bypass startup application and leave only bare minimum services
running. If possible also try connecting that computer to the same cable/port of a
functioning. Putting in another nic would be an appropriate thing to try if nothing
else seems to help. I guess as a last resort you could configure the computer with
static IP info. --- Steve
