Title: Unable to connect after SP2 install
Post by: Blookah on March 09, 2007, 11:11:44 AM
I installed Service Pack 2 and I am no longer able to connect to the internet. I have already reloaded drivers for my NIC card and have gone to the Command Prompt to try and renew the IP address. When I try to renew I get a message saying that it cannot read the IP address. I have entered the IP's manually from my ISP with no luck. Everything in Device Manager says I'm working properly but it isn't. This is also not a hardware or virus issue. What could be causing this problem? I am in a very time sensitive situation and need help ASAP. I have borrowed a laptop to hopefully find a solution so assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
BG

What address do you get with you type 'ipconfig' at a command prompt / tried turning off the firewall that is now enabled with SP2 / tried booting into Safe Mode and see what happens.
