included in the Windows XP home version? My young
daughter deleted IE in error. I need to
reinstall/restore XP (for other reasons) and need to know
if it will restore Internet Explorer as well.

I am sure reinstalling will. I am not sure about repairing an installation.

It will be included.
In fact you cannot easily delete IE anyway, just disable/enable..so if you
go to add/remove programs then windows components you can re-instate it.

This is unrelated, but I need some help. I'm running WinXP Home and I installed a web camera - It disabled my ability to use IE. I can connect, but I cannot use IE at all - nor any other aps that actually use the Interent. In other words, my dial-up is working fine.

I believe it has something to do with Automatic Private IP Addressing in Windows, but I can't find it in the registery very well, and everything the camera company sends me is useless trivia from tech support.

Got any ideas?

How do you normally access the web - dialup or ADSL/Broadband?

You say it "disabled my ability to use IE" - Are you saying IE won't launch
at all, or launches but with errors? Are you also saying that mail clients
don't work e.g Outlook Express?

Re. private automatic IP address, you can find this under properties for the
network (dialup in your case?) TCP/IP settings.
Automatic IP normally only an issue is you are on a LAN or are connecting
to a router/hub, in which case you can set it to be assigned an IP address
from a DHCP server OR assign a static private IP address e.g 192.168.0.1.
The IP address would be found under the relevant network adapter (NIC)
properties.

Not sure what else to say without more information...

HTH.
 
IE launches just fine. So does any other client that uses the web. My dial-up works fine. But I cannot get it to communicate with the Net. Outlook doesn't work, Windows Messanger doesn't work - but they all load fine

I use a dial-up connection, but I am also using a wireless router for my network hub. I've re-set the router, I've tried to re-set all my network connections - but perhaps I've missed something.

Got any other questions?

Ok, so the *only* web access is by a dial-up modem that is directly
connected to the PC you are having a problem with?

I also assume the modem is successfully dialling-up and getting a
connection? I'm confused as you say it works fine, but you also say it
cannot communicate with the net?!? Have you set a modem log tol be generated
and have you looked at the log for any clues?

If you run "ipconfig /all" from the command line what information does it
return?

What IP is assigned to the router and does it respond to "ping" requests?

When you say you have "reset" all network connections, what did you actually
do?

Rgds.
