Title: Unexpected network settings error!
Post by: MikeB on July 18, 2009, 12:16:34 PM
I am running Windows XP Media Center Version 2002 on SP2. When I attempt to access network connections settings of an internet connection (both wireless and plugged in) a message pops up.

I have already tried to fix it by using the Microsoft support site.

I am fairly sure it has nothing to do with drivers or my wireless card.

Please no anwsers that need the XP disc. Due to a virus I just reformated with an old recovery disc from a different computer.

1) Start -> Run -> type cmd and press Enter -> type in ipconfig /all and press Enter.
2) Start -> Run -> type cmd and press Enter -> type in ping www.yahoo.com and press Enter.
3) Start -> Run -> type cmd and press Enter -> type in netsh int ip reset reset.log and press Enter.
