Just recently reinstalled windows xp hom on my computer, updated to servic pack 3, an cannot connect to the internet. When i do the ip config /all cmd i get this:

Then i try the ipconfig /release cmd and renew cmd, i get nothing but error " unable to contact your DHCP server" I've already done th winsock and ip reset cmd and still get nothing. Is this a driver issue? What can i do? Thanks for your help!!

System info:

This appears to be a driver issue or a hardware connectivity issue.

Try loading the latest version of the network driver.

you're right! it was a driver issue. Didnt have the proper drivers installed. Thanks!
