Network Status: Limited or no connectivity

Apr 13, 2005 5:26PM PDT

I have been trying to connect to the internet and to the other computers that are both on the LAN. I get the following messages on the two frequently used computers on the LAN:

Status: Limited or no connectivity

You might not be able to access the Internet or some network resources. This problem occurred because the network did not assign a network adress to the computer.

If clicking Repair does not restore connectivity, the problem might be with the network, not with this computer"

I tried to repair and this was unsuccessful. I updated my Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE Professional ref. file (23.03.2005) recently and i read something about some people having network problems after.

I am using an IBM ThinkPad (XP Professional SP 2, Intel Pentium M 1400MHz 598 MHz. 256 MB of RAM).

I had to connect to internet via 56k Modem. I just updated ref. file (11.04.2005) on this IBM and i am now up-to-date on Windows Update.

The other computer is a "clone" (correct term?) running XP Home SP 2, Pentium 4,...)

The LAN was running perfect 2 days ago up to now and i checked all cables. DSL modem says all go.

Is there any other information u need?

I need my internet back!
