I wont blame if you dont believe me....but I dont have those keys in my registry...

The uninstall button is grayed out...I tried switching PCI slots, reinstalling/up[censored] drivers, and reinstalling over windows...nothing helped. When I click the "repair" button it says it couldn't renew the IP and if i do ipconfig /renew I get an error about a socket. If reinstalling windows isn't the answer, then I am truly stumped. Could 2 cards have possibly gone bad? I think I may buy a new one just to see. Does anyone have any ideas? It's not an ISP problem, I don't think, because I can obviously use this computer (my laptop) to get online. I will be the eternal slave of whoever can figure out what the problem is with my computer. :-( Rob

I am sad :-(. My laptop works fine with my cable modem but my main computer does not. It has 2 3com network cards in it and both seemed to have died. I know the cable modem and connection are working fine but the cards don't seem to want to grab their new IP address. They stay with the autoconfig one. When i do ipconfig /renew I get an error message describing a socket. What do I do to fix this? I already tried installing the new drivers...please help me~!!! Comcast/AT&T seem to think its a TCP/IP stack problem....any ideas on how to reinstall? rob

OMG, I read the article and knew I didn't have zonealarm running like the article said the root of the problem was from, but I uninstalled it anyway and....PRESTO! it all works again! I love you all! -rob p.s. i officially despise zonealarm now

2 days ago I was left unable to sign on to AOL over my cable modem and get the message "The connection to the host was lost". At first I thought it was an AOL issue but I have found that I am no longer able to ping anyone from my computer and get an Error Code 65 when I try to do so. Comcast, my ISP, said it was an issue between my cable modem and my computer but they don't support XP and wouldn't help me. Any ideas how to fix this issue? -Rob

I have been having a weird problem with IE6 ever since the install of winXP...very frequently while I am on the internet, I get a box that pops up asking if I want to stay online or go offline (the offline page viewing box)...this box is VERY annyoing. How can I get it to go away? Is there a default option to always browse online somewhere? Thanks for your help, Rob
