Lost internet after installing SP2

[oslama]

I lose intenet connection after installing SP2 on winxp machine. The onboard nic died and i installed a 3com nic. The conection is "active" an i can get to the home page but i cannot get to other sites. Ping does not work although i do "see" my network and other PCs, just can't connect.

If i uninstall sp2. everything works great.

Part of the SP2 package is a Windows Firewall package - try disabling it in the Control Panel and see what happens.

if i disable the firewall i loose the home page. oddly the msn page does change everytime i connect.

I am stuck at the home page.


I had this system up and running about 8 months ago with similar specs. I had to gut it for parts. The only new part is the 3com nic and the hard drive.


NF7s-v2 with moble barton 2600
1 gb kinmax 3200 ddr
seagate 160 gb
sapphire 9500 @ 9700 mod
3com nic and on board sound.
I am using a original win xp pro @ 2001 (NFR)

Can you ping the router?
Can you ping yahoo.com?
Can you ping 216.109.112.135?

There is a registry edit to try, I'll find it at work in the morning.

go into Internet Options and delete your temp internet files. This won't fix it, but it will probably get rid of that homepage taunting you and confusing the issue. Make sure all Firewalls are disabled. Which do you use?

Try this from run or the cmd line:

netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt

make sure your NIC is set to Obtain an IP address automatically from the TCP/IP properties window.

reboot.

If that doesn't work, try:

netsh reset winsock catalog
reboot.



This is the equivalent of a registry fix, all automated in SP2. You may have to uninstall and reinstall some programs that need to use the internet.

I didn't keep it handy, sorry. But if I find it I'll post it.

It will be nice if you would post info about your type of connetion and Network hardware involved (Modem. Router, etc.).

In General, you can debug the Network Setting of the computer following these steps.

Step One. Check the Network parameters in the Computer?s Device Manager. Make sure that the drivers are installed correctly; there is No IRQ conflict, and No Ghost installation. http://www.ezlan.net/faq#ghost

Step Two. Verify Basic network setting in the OS: http://www.ezlan.net/Installing#verify
If the above two Steps indicates that every thing looks good but functionally it does not work.

Step Three. Check (and repair if necessary) the Socket Layers, Winsock, and or refresh the TCP/IP Stack. http://www.ezlan.net/clean#refreshnet
If need to Reinstall; Log to this page it have a lot of links to instructions for Windows Network Installation - http://www.ezlan.net/Installing.html

i have cable modem with smc barricade router with 3 wired pc. I have dhcp on and ip range of .2 to .10 (last octet).

.2 is a wireless AP connection to xp home pc with .8, .3 is a winxp pc, .4 this "problem" pc, .5 is win 98 pc.

i have net bui on all.

i reinstalled xp pro and loaded sp1. its working. but when i loaded sp2 i lose connection.

if i disable windows firewall , it wont even load the home page.

since i have an early version of xppro, should i slipstream sp1 and sp2?

 

[JackMDS]

If you already upgraded to SP2 you do not need to Slipstream any thing.

Since you have NetBEUI your LAN is working but TCP/IP is probably Not.

Look at the links in my above post and see what is Not set correctly.

I came upon a similar problem this past weekend. Some sites would work, but it wouldn't load the windows updates page.
This is what I found:

Automatic Update will not work

I did have a firewall. Norton Internet security. I uninstalled using add/remove progams feature.
hmmmm then please goto Start>Run>msconfig>Startup and make sure that nothing related to Norton is ticked here
then goto Services section, tick Hide Microsoft Services, and make sure nothing related to Norton is ticked here also!
Restart and check if same issue still ??

if Yes then do this,
===============================================
Unregister Windows Update Server Files
================================

1. First of all close all instances of Internet Explorer.
2. Click Start and Run, type Regsvr32 /u jscript.dll in the Open box and click OK.
3. Similarly one by one unregister the files listed below,
Regsvr32 /u wuaueng.dll
Regsvr32 /u wuaueng1.dll
Regsvr32 /u wucltui.dll
Regsvr32 /u wups.dll
Regsvr32 /u wuweb.dll
Regsvr32 /u wuapi.dll
Once these files are unregistered successfully restart the system and now let us register the following files using the Regsvr32 command and check whether the issue is resolved. Please note, there is a space between Regsvr32 and the file name.

Reregister Windows Update Service Files
============================

1. Close all instances of Internet Explorer.
2. Click Start and Run, type Regsvr32 wuapi.dll in the Open box and click OK.

9. Click Start and Run, type Regsvr32 atl.dll in the Open box and click OK. (NOTE: Please register this file only do not attempt to unregister this file)

Don't know if it will fix your problem, but you can give it a try.
