limited or no connectivity

[tdeprest]

Hi,I recently got the limited or no connectivity message, without changing from my usual internet connection & without any recent major updates. I use a Xp laptop & got this from ipconfig/renew & ipconfig/all (i think im using local area connection 2), hope u can find something with this,thx. (btw when i use another laptop on the same connection, even same ethernet cable, it works fine & when i plugged my laptop on another connection i got the same error, so something is wrong with my laptop or its settings?)Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600](C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.C:\Documents and Settings\martine vanfleteren>ipconfig/renewWindows IP ConfigurationAn error occurred while renewing interface Local Area Connection 2 : unable to contact your DHCP server.

Try reinstalling the drivers of your LAN card, preferably with updated drivers.

Thanks for replying,I tried it, but it didn't work, meanwhile i checked my event log & found an error; but the description only says driver status 1?Hope this helps for fixing my problems.
