Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Delete the connection and build a new one.

Hi, have been trying to help a friend of mine resolve an Internet
connection issue.He is running XP with SP2 and connects to the net via AOL
using an Ethernet cable and a Belkin router.All was fine until last
Wednesday when he couldn't access the net. I have had a look at the PC and
notice that the system is trying to access an IP address. Have been
through 2 very unhelpful phone calls with AOL Technical backup the end
result being that they can see the router but what ever we try we cannot
change the IP Address.Their diagnoses of the problem is that there are
corrupt files preventing the connection being made however they couldn't
tell me what these corrupt files might be or how to fix the issue.
Does anybody know what I might try next ?
If any more information needed please let me know and TIA
