Hi
I have a computer running windows XP professional that isn't
connecting to my home network. The network is as follows: One XP
Home computer that acts as an internet gateway, with three other
computers running XP Home or XP Professional, (one of these computers
is mine). All computers connect through a hub.
I have just set up my computer and on installation of XP, it detected
the network and everything worked fine. But the next day, it wouldn't
connect to the network.

I have tried:
- Letting XP automatically assign a tcp/ip address, when this happens
it assigns itself something in the 169.x.x.x range, when our network
is in the 192.168.0.x range.
- Assigning a tcp/ip address my self, eg 192.168.0.20, when i do this
i can ping myself by either ip address or computer name, but i can't
ping any other computer using either method.
- Reseting the tcp/ip stack using the netsh command.
- I then tried a different network card. On installation of the
network card, the computer connected to the network, but the next day
when i turned the computer on again, my network connection was lost
again.

I don't know what else to try, if anyone has any ideas it would be
very very appreciated.
Thank you
Stephen
