Default Cable Internet works in Safe Mode Only

I would echo advice given earlier in this forum: open a
command prompt (Start | Run | Cmd) and
type "ipconfig /all c:\ipconfig.txt", then open that
document in Notepad, copy that information to the
clipboard, and post that information here.

That would really help us determine how things look on
your machine. For example, do you have entries for
Default Gateway and DNS Servers, without which you will
certainly have problems accessing the Internet.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Jack

I'm baffled why I can't get my XP upgrade to work with

my
Comast cable Internet connection. It worked fine under
Win98 and it works fine in XP Safe Mode.

I ran IPCONFIG /RELEASE and /RENEW and PING'd
successfully after a normal boot, but Outlook Express

and
Internet Explorer can't connnect.
My TCP/IP is set to automatically detect the connection
settings.
I turned the modem and computer off and restarted and
still no go.

The only thing I can think to do is manually configure
the connection with the settings form IPCONFIG which
should work since I have a dynamic IP address.

Does anybody have any other suggestions?

Thanks.
