I've posted this before and have gotten nowhere.
I have a laptop running XP Pro. Stopped connecting to internet and ISP provider for email. Cannot connect either through wireless net or dialup. Tried remedy links sent from Jack-MVP to me and to others. Virus scan was clean. Should I wipe the disk and start over? |

You'll need to supply a lot more information if you need help. We'd need to know what you've done to troubleshoot, whether you've scanned for malware/viruses, whether you've tried pinging, whether you even get an IP address, and ideally what happened since this last worked. |

You might have to get a driver or two off the Internet to get all your equipment up and running again. Then there's all the re-installation of your programs and customisations. One would hope that starting over would still be a long way down the list unless you have a reasonably up to date disk image to restore from? Before all that, have you tried resetting the winsock by typing at a command prompt "netsh winsock reset catalog" ? Jim. |

Thank you for your replies.
Here's some info: Running XP Pro SP2 on laptop. Wireless net is healthy (can access files, share printers). With either LAN or dialup cannot access internet or email. Scanned for malware with AVG 8.0. No infections found. Checked registry with Wise Registry Cleaner. All cleaned and fixed. No change. Ran "netsh winsock reset catalog" at command prompt. No change. Tried to repair the winsock with directions from this link: http://www.ezlan.net/clean.html#refreshnet./ No change Ping on laptop timed out. Reply was received on desktop server. What can I do to further troubleshoot? "deskra" wrote: I've posted this before and have gotten nowhere. I have a laptop running XP Pro. Stopped connecting to internet and ISP provider for email.

You say that you can access another computer on your LAN via wireless connection. Is that connection to a router or are you using ICS? If you're using a router, what do you see when you access the router's configuration utility and look at its connection status? If ICS, is the other computer successfully accessing the Internet? What happens when you attempt to connect to your ISP using dialup? What does ipconfig /all show? -- Lem -- MS-MVP To the moon and back with 2K words of RAM and 36K words of ROM. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Guidance_Computer http://history.nasa.gov/afj/compessay.htm |

Look to reset the security settings in Internet Explorer back to default values. Jim. |
