Re: renew IP fails after system restore

I can look a the disks but there are hundreds of files and follders with
obscure file names, and disks have no descriptive labels. i dont know what
to look for.

There are no yellow flags, and the local area driver has the green icon that
suggests it is working. I'll post a cumulative message elsewhere in this
thread. still hoping for help...

Aqueous,
It should be on a disc that has drivers on the label. It might be with the one
that says Modem or Networking applications/drivers. I am not familar with HP
products. You may need to pop each disc in the CD/DVD-ROM, and see what is
available on each one of them.

You should first check and make sure that you have all the drivers installed
that you need for your PC.

Control Panel> Systems> Hardware tab> Device Manager> Make sure that there are
no Yellow marks next to a device. Look under Networking and see if you have the
driver installed for the device there, should be something like:
Broadcom440x 10/100 Integrated Controller (PC's Brand may be different.)

Aqueous,
One of those system restore Discs should have the drivers for hardware for
your
PC. Check through them.

I cannot renew my IP address, i cannot get a default gateway or DNS server. I
have broadband, ethernet from the cable modem, which works fine on the mac i
hooked it to so i can write this. The IP is in range of 169.254.xxx. I
think that is not what it is supposed to be?
Background: XP crashed with a bad kernel32, gdi32 driver, and maybe others
after running chkdsk for routine maintenance. This is an OEM machine but i
got a set of system restore disks from HP and ran standard system restore
which brought back data files and allowed XP to boot. I uninstalled Norton
2005 which is what showed up after the restore, and installed NIS2009,
plugged in the ethernet, and tried to run live update when i found no
internet connection. I dont see how any files could already be corrupted as
this is supposed to be like a new install. but something is wrong. I am
trying to get help from HP but perhaps someone here has insight.
I need help getting to the Internet so I can download updates etc, and maybe
find out the source of the whole problem if there was something got past
NIS...
