I am having issues with connecting to my high speed internet through my on
board lan connetion. I have also added a NIC card and tried going through the
USB port. Each and every procees nets the same result. Device manager reports
no issues. All indications are that everything hardware related is fine. When
in the network connection window, the LAN connection icon shows that it is
aquiring network connection. I have been through all the troubleshooting
steps; disable, unistall, reinstall drivers etc. making sure IP address is
set to auto, DNS set to auto. When I used ipconfig/renew an error message
came up: There is an error in the IP connection, the RPC server cannot be
found. I am very close to cleaning the hard drive and reinstalling Windows XP
pro.
Any help is appriciated.

Look for relevant error messages in Event Viewer (in Start > Control
Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Administrative Tools). For
more information, see:

Go to Start > Run > services.msc, and make sure that the Remote
Procedure Call service is started and is set to run automatically.

regarding ip/networking issues. Also I did the Go to Start > Run >
services.msc, and make sure that the Remote
Procedure Call service is started and is set to run automatically. Bob

You're welcome, Bob. I'm sorry that those suggestions didn't solve
the problem for you, and I don't have any other ones. Have you done
website and newsgroup searches for the RPC server error message?

Thank you for the lead to search the newsgroups for the RPC server issue.
Here is what I found;
Open services.
Start>run> type: services.msc>OK
double click DNS Client>set to Automatic>Apply>start>OK
Repeat for DHCP and RPC. The RPC was your hint.
I think it was the DHCP as this one was the only one that was set to manual.
It was after I set it to auto and started it that I got a different message
on the ipconfig/renew. So unplugged the cable modem and restarted the
computer and plugged the modem back in and viola! everthing worked.
Thank you very much for your help in this matter.
