Lan setting no responde

bnrr · 01-27-2007, 10:33 PM

In my 2000 pro windows in the lan setting I am having a problem with it responding to commands. In the lan setting box I put a check mark in
automatically detect settings, and then click the OK button, but there
is no respond, I click the cancel button and the dialog box closes, but
it also removes the check mark in the auto detect settings, since that
check mark is remove I cannot access the internet

I even disable all the startup programs, the problems still exsists

did scan disk, problem still exsists

I even try a repair using the
2000 installation disk, but since my service pack is 4 it cannot continue
becase the installatin program is SP2, and suggest that I do a clean reinstalled

I cannot do a reinstalled because I have programs that
cannot be saved in upgrade status, that means that I have to start from
scratch

any suggestion anyone

How long have you let the dialog box sit after making the change? Sometimes it can take a while, as the machine is resetting TCP/IP and trying to get an address via DHCP.

on the first click, lest then 3 seconds, the second try I waited for over a minute.
