Have you checked if there is a new driver for the NIC or firmware for the router?

Hi all,
Have a PC here which won't pick up DHCP or DNS.
Using DHCP gives me the 169.254... address.
If I set a fixed IP add/gateway/DNS, I can ping anything I want by IP
address only - still no DNS.
NSlookup says "No response from server". I've tried using my router, but
also known-working external DNS server.
I've tried resetting TCP with netsh. - No joy.
I've tried a different LAN card (in desparation). No Joy
I've done a System Restore to a time when it WAS working. No Joy.
I've tried drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes, and banging my head. No
joy.
This is a 2002 version XP Pro, and has no firewall installed.
Any clues anyone?
