My issue is IP related.
I just built this machine. It has an ECS Elitegroup K8M890 motherboard, AMD 64 X2 Processor, 512 RAM, XP Pro with SP2.
I think it’s some security setting in Win XP. The Road Runner tech just left. He could do nothing! My laptop connects just fine, so it’s not the cable modem. My machine will not renew or even assign an IP address. The generic IP of 169., so on, is the only IP that shows up. No firewall, have released and renewed IP, reset winsock, reset IP stack, everything
that I know to do…nothing doing! The tech said he’s seen several new PCS do the same thing lately, although their equipment is working fine. I just know it’s an XP Pro setting. What else could it be? The
on board ethernet card is working fine. Anybody out there found the same or similar?
