I have a computer running XP PRO that will not allow me
to get onto the internet at all using a broadband
connection. I can get on with my other computer through
my linksys router with no problem. I have tried 3
different network cards from 3 different manufacturers
with the current one being an Intel Pro 100 card. I
cannot get the machine to receive a valid ip address
automatically. I manually input the ip address, gateway
and subnet. After doing this, I can ping a numerical
address anywhere on the net. However, I still cannot
ping a dns address such as ping /www.yahoo.com

I can only ping a numerical address if I have the tcp/ip
setup manually. If I try to get it to automatically
obtain an ip address, then I cannot even ping anything.
I can ping the localhost just fine even when the ip
address is set to auto obtain.

I have spent more than an hour on the phone with the
intel tech and still it is not working. PLEASE SOMEONE
HELP ME. Thanks!
 
This doesn't fix your real problem but if you input the IP address etc
manually, you also need to input the DNS. Try using the gateway/router
address eg 192.168.0.1

Before you used a static address, did your ipconfig /all give you 0.0.0.0 or
169.254.x.x ?
The first means your pc didnt seek out dhcp, the second meant it looked for
it but couldnt find it.

The following was provided by Steve Winograd, Microsoft MVP.

1. Permanently disable XP's built-in Internet Connection Firewall on
local area network connections -- it's for use only on a direct modem
connection to the Internet. Disable and un-install all other
firewalls while troubleshooting. Details here:

Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall

2. Use only one protocol for File and Printer Sharing. If the network
needs more than one protocol, unbind File and Printer Sharing from all
but one of them. Details here:

Windows XP Network Protocols
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp/network_protocols.htm

3. Make sure that NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled on all computers.
Details here:

Enable NetBIOS Over TCP/IP (NetBT)
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/troubleshoot/netbt.htm

4. Run "ipconfig /all" on XP and look at the "Node Type" at the
beginning of the output. If it says "Peer-to-Peer" (which should
actually be "Point-to-Point") that's the problem. It means that the
computer only uses a WINS server, which isn't available on a
peer-to-peer network for NetBIOS name resolution.

If that's the case, run the registry editor, open this key:

HLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netbt\Parameters

and delete these values if they're present:

NodeType
DhcpNodeType

Reboot, then try network access again.

If that doesn't fix it, open that registry key again, create a DWORD
value called "NodeType", and set it to 1 for "Broadcast" or 4 for
"Mixed".

For details, see these Microsoft Knowledge Base articles:

Hi,

Ok, when you configure the IP manually, add you DNS Severs???

Call to your ISP and consult for the "DNS Servers" and add in "Internet
Protocol TCP/IP" properties of your LAN connection.

Try before if you want with 200.27.2.2

Sorry my english
