Hi all, I hope you can help me out here.
My girlfriends laptop BSOD'D (c000021a error) earlier this week so I take a look and was unable to fix the problem so I reinstalled XP hoping to get a fresh start and go from there. The reinstall went perfect, except for now her laptop will not access the internet even though it says it's connected (IT'S DEAF OH NO!) I tried resetting winsock even followed the windows directions to a T and reinstalled the tcp/ip settings and its the same problem. when I type ipconfig in command prompt it says "windows ip configuration. I need to access the internet so I can update all her drivers and get her ol' laptop back up to snuff before she head back to school sunday. I would appreciate it if you guys can help me here!
heres all the stats:
XP pro SP2
wont connect to the internet even though it says its connected
when trying to repair connection the following is displayed "Cannot continue repair failed to detect tcp/ip settings"
no IP address
not sending or receiving any data packets
when IPCONFIG is inputted "windows ip configuration" is displayed.
Tried winsock repair
Reinstalled tcp/ip setting via windows prompt while repairing winsock
I can provide any other computer info just ask =)
I just hope its not P.E.B.K.A.C. >.>
