Local Area Connection Limited Icon Baloon

[Tom Preston]

After installing SR2 on XP Pro I get the following baboon in the task
tray next to my network icon. It says the following;

"Local Area Connection" This connection has limited or no
connectivity. You might not be able to access the Internet or some
other network resource.

If I click on repair it says renewing your ip address. Then the
folloeing message is displayed; Windows could not finish repairing the
probme because the following action cannot be completed "renewing your
IP address.

I am on Verixon DSL and can not see any problem with my Internet
connection or anything else fpr that matter. I am running Norton
Personal Firewall 2003 with the letest update.

What is this and what can I try and to correct it?

Thanks for any and all help.

Note name of problem net connection (eg. Local connection
2)
Press:
START
Control Panel
Network Connections
Choose problem connection
GENERAL
PROPERTIES
Deselect: Client for Microsoft Networks and Internet
Protocol
OK

This worked for me, no more error messages and no second
icon in tray.

I just found it easier to uncheck "notify me when this connection
blah, blah"

Thanks for your help.
