Flushing the ARP cache
I'm encountering an error flushing the ARP cache when I try to repair
my connection. The strange thing is that when I click on details I can see IP address, DNS servers, DHCP server,etc... only thing that might be missing is the WINS server. No entry it seems. Under network connections by internet connection is enabled but no incoming connections (not sure there should be!). I'm able to download Windows updates and perform some other funtions but I can't logon the internet using IE. I also tried another browser (Firefox) and it also doesn't work. I've tried everything to flip my settings. I've also tried my wireless card and connecting directly to the router. Same error on both devives when trying a repair. I've also flushed the arp cache from the command line using arp -d, and then arp -a to check it afterwards. Still I'm not able to get to the internet through IE. I did see some articles that mentioned my services setting could cause this, but which one? I have the following services are listed: DNS, FTP, HTTP, msmsgs (192 -many entries, POP3, SMTP. I've also tried the network setup wizard, this hasn't helped either. I can deal with settings and windows configurations but I'm a novice when it comes the networking. Please help. My computer: Windows XP SP1 fully up-to-date with windows patches Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks in advance Danny Palmer |

Flushing the ARP cache
Does "ipconfig /renew" work for you. And by work I mean give you a valid
IP address that does not start with 169.254? The arp cache things is probably symptom and not a cause. -- Ken Wickes [MSFT] This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Flushing the ARP cache
Thanks Ken
I'm away from my home office right now but.... I believe it does from my home network and I think my IP starts with 169.254 or something similar. I use a linksys wireless server. Other computers on my network work fine. I do notice there isn't a WINS server specified. Today (and the rest of the week) I'm at a client. Here (at client) I get an error renewing the IP address despite the fact I can see an IP, DNS & WINS server by viewing statue. Their IP assigned to me dynamically starts with something totally different than you mention. Thanks Danny Palmer "Ken Wickes [MSFT]" wrote in message ... Does "ipconfig /renew" work for you.

Flushing the ARP cache
Thanks Ken for your efforts.
I was able to fix the problem by using someone's suggestion regarding a corrupt winsock. I found the fix by searching through google under 'winsock fix'. I applied the winsock fix and everything works perfect now! Danny Palmer (Danny Palmer) wrote in message . com... Thanks Ken I'm away from my home office right now but....
