Yo dawgs, sup? I pressed start, clicked on run, typed in "cmd" and pressed enter. In the box that came up I typed "ipconfig /release" and then "ipconfig /renew", but I received an error message after entering the latter command that says: An error occured while renewing Local Area Connection Interface: The system cannot find the file specified.
Any help would be appreciated. PEACE OUT. |

step 1...make sure the firewall is off....right click the connection...properties...advanced...uncheck the firewall...
try to ipconfig /renew again...if that doesnt do it check back and there is more stuff to try
-----
I was going to next suggest the same thing "oops" did..from that same page with those weird commands, lol-----
Open a CMD prompt.
Type netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt and press Enter, to reset the TCP/IP protocol

the next thing recommended is a "repair install"...pretty easy actually....
boot from the cd....on the first screen hit "enter" just like a fresh install.....then it will see that u already have xp installed and it will ask if you want to "repair" that install so you choose "R" for repair....you wont lose data etc cuz it doesnt format..it just overwrites system files etc.
(dont choose "R" on the first screen cuz that is the "recovery console"...not what you want..so ignore the first "R"..choose the SECOND "R") | |

Before trying JP's suggestion I would delete the NIC from device manager and reboot. It should re-install without asking for drivers. Just in case it does ask for drivers try to have them available.
Also if your using a router, try resetting it. | |
