Recently i ran into the same problem-If your running xp run regedit delete winsock and winsock2 keys-then reboot windows should reset these values when you reboot-right click the network connection click properties-click install-click protocol-click add-click have disk-type C:\Windows\inf click ok on the list of available protocols click Internet Protocol(TCP/IP)and click ok restart computer if none of these work find the right way and then post it so i can know-Not the only one stuck in neutral
