XP Internet Not Working

[markwalk]

Hey, I'm having a network problem:

It began a few days ago, when I was deep scanning my computer with ESET NOD32, and the internet was still connected, but stopped working. When the scan was over (nothing found), I rebooted the computer, and when I connected to the internet again I found that I couldn't browse any website and neither use Messenger or any other web-based software. I also can't ping websites using their url, but when I ping their IPs it works properly.

I'm under a LAN with a hub, a desktop (the XP Pro) and a laptop (Vista - internet works properly here) and my DSL ISP requires username and password. Also, since I formatted the desktop and before that I've been experiencing "Generic Host Process for Win32" error and internet crashes in the desktop.

Ipconfig in the desktop shows as follows:

I tried disabling XP's static Local IP, checking for it to obtain an IP adress automatically, and plugging the enet cable directly from the desktop to the dsl modem, without going through the hub. The same thing happens, it connects, autentifies, but it cannot browse or anything. It can still ping internet IPs, tho'.

Just to clarify: Both computers and the DSL modem are connected through a hub, and desktop's 'BrTurbo' connection had ICS enabled. Since it stopped working, I've created individual 'BrTurbo' connections in both computers, and even tried enabling ICS here in the laptop, but the desktop's connectivity was still none.

Any ideas?


Thanks in advance.

Try these steps to repair WInsock and the TCP stack.


Repairing the Winsock and TCP stack on XP
Windows XP provides several commands to repair issues with the TCP protocol stack. The commands increase in the degree that they are likely to impact other software on the system, so it is best to progress through them one at a time to limit the other software that has to be reinstalled or repaired afterwards.

First try, "netsh winsock reset catalog" in a command window. If that doesn't work, try "netsh winsock reset" and finally try "netsh int ip reset ipreset.log". All three of these commands should be run in a command window.

Well, I get pissed at it, and since I'd formatted something like 3 days ago, I ended up formatting it again. Now it's all fine, as far as I can see, and even Vista began to recognize the network as 'Home' once again.
