Hi,
Dual boot PC (Linux, XP pro). Cannot access internet via XP. Nor can launch system restore or Help & Support. No problems under Linux.
IP address showing as null.Releasing it reurns 'already released'. Trying to renew gives error message re RCP server unavailable.
Checking services I cannot find DHCP & DNS. Is there any way I can reload them ? Any ideas as to how this happened ? Scans don't show any viruses/malware.
Thanks for any contributions.

Do you have the DHCP and DNS Client Services? The message wants the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) set to automatic.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Problem is dns & dhcp do not appear in the list of services at all, thus I cannot restart them. No idea why this has occurred.

If you try that it may work, else try system restore in safe mode.
Other than that you can back and try and repair with the XP disk.
If that fails you should reinstall.
Note, if you don't know how to use repair with your XP disk it will do nothing, ask!!

Thanks to all who replied. Couldn't access system restore from within Windows nor boot from XP CD thereby accessing Recovery console etc.presumably due to grub loader. Didn't wish to uninstall Linux so booted from Knoppix distro DVD, mounted XP partition & set to read/write. Was then able to manually recreate a valid restore point & all was well. All part of the great learning process !
