Thanks for the input, Chuck. Rather than devote countless hours to technical
troubleshooting, I decided to reinstall XP - backup files retrieved, and
PROBLEM SOLVED.
Thx

I have multiple PCs hooked up wirelessly to my cable modem. All of them can
access the internet - except for one. I tried reinstalling my Belkin card
and spent numerous hours trying to figure this out.
I'm running SP2 - it worked fine for a year, then I got a pop-up virus and
maybe messed up some settings when trying to clean my PC ?
When I click on the Belkin utility, it shows that I have an IP address, but
no "gateway" "DNS" or "WINS". I thought XP obtains its IP address via DHCP?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Check for LSP / Winsock /TCP/IP corruption.

Thanks for the suggestions. I spent some time on your site trying to
troubleshoot. I ran the LSPfix tool, and reset the Winsock registry by using
a couple of the utilities you suggested. I manually set the IP address, but
still couldn't access the internet.
One other interesting note - the IP address assigned to this PC is outside
the range of my other computers (they are typically 192.168.1.X). As shown
below, this one is 169.254.182.23. Any other suggestions ? Here is my
ipconfig result:
Windows IP Configuration

Primary DNS suffix -
Node Type - Unknown
IP Routing Enabled - No
WINS Proxy Enabled - No
Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection
Media State - Media Disconnected
Description - NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller

Default Gateway -
Thanks again guys.

====================
Couple of other notes. I ran the winsockfix application and the "netsh"
utility to reset TCP/IP settings. I'm still acquiring a TCP/IP address, but
no network connectivity. This is frustrating !
Thanks
PSUFAN
If you're acquiring a "169.254" subnet IP address, then your computer is now on
the "169.254" subnet. So you won't have connectivity with anything NOT on the
"169.254" subnet.

If you're getting the "169.254" address because of a problem with the DHCP
server, then using a manually assigned address will work around that. If the
problem is with the computer, then manually assigning the address is not going
to help. The "169.254" address is a symptom, not the problem.

I see "nVidia" in your ipconfig log.

Hmmm, I investigated the nVIDIA issue, and removed all of the NVIDIA drivers,
then reinstalled (to remove the potential hidden firewall issue). No luck,
same result. (Plus now I have a couple of device drivers missing, but
hopefully I can restore that once I get connectivity up and running). When I
force an IP address, I can connect to the LAN, but not the internet. Plus, I
can ping the "bad" PC from a good PC, but can't ping anything except
127.0.0.1 from the bad PC (not even the forced IP address 192.168.1.9).
Is there a way (outside of netsh?) to just reinstall the TCP/IP stack? I
read a Microsoft article that mentioned the routing table may be correct.
Well, that's well and good, but how would I go about fixing the routing
table?
Well, I'm taking some time off to celebrate the New Year. Thanks again to
any and all responders.
If you had a virus, cleaned it up, and now have a problem with DHCP, or
connectivity problems, then LSP / Winsock / TCP/IP corruption is most likely.
Did you run each of the suggested tools? None of the tools is known to be self
sufficient - each tool is necessary in some cases reported here. Go through the
list, one at a time.
It's vaguely possible that your routing table is borked. Try posting that here,
for each computer.
