Network connection has been LIMITED, please help!

Gayble · 10-29-2005, 09:24 PM

Hello guys,

I've recently installed Spy Bot and Tea Timer and it has somehow made changes to the startup and in effect, my network connection has been limited!

and my broadband isn't working anymore.

My network connection is still limited somehow, it shows an exclamation mark on the network connection icon in the tray, and when I repair the connection it says:

"Windows could not finish repairing the problem because the following action cannot be completed:
Renewing your IP address"

Does anyone know how I can fix my connection and take off that stupid limitation?

(My computers are using the broadband via a router)

TCP/IP stack repair options for use with Windows XP with SP2.

For these commands, Start, Run, CMD to open a command prompt.

Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults: netsh winsock reset catalog

Reset TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ip reset [log_file_name]

Note: the log_file_name needs to be specified, e.g. netsh int ip reset reset.log

If that doesn't do the trick, try this.
