internet problem after xp service pack 2 update

chiapet · 01-13-2006, 08:59 PM

I am not able to connect to the internet after I performed an xp service pack 2 update. After doing an IPCONFIG, the forced IP address doesn't pop up. It retains the old IPaddress. What is the problem?

SOS! Has anyone had this similar problem?:confused:

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

see what happens.....

I tried erasing and renewing the IP address, but nothing really happened. Old IPaddress still remains.

SOS!

Did you check if your configured for a static IP or obtain one automatical through DHCP.

You would find this in Control Panel>Network Connections>Double click active connection>Properties>click TCP/IP> Click Properties.
