i get this error when i try to renew my ip in command line prompt, be cause i get a 169.dada.dad.dada and i cannot do anything on the internet.

An Error occured while renewing interface Local Area Connection : An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket.

i contacted my ISP which is comcast and they couldn't help me on the phone so they sent a technition. he said that my ethernet adapter is bad so i bought a new one and it still doesnt work.

i also repaired windows (xp pro).. i am stuck on my mothers computer, ugh, someone help.

edit:
i also cannot connect using a router or wireless router

Give this a try! (Courtesy of JohnWill

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 reset.log

try this program: WinSock XP Fix

here is a tutorial on it

There really isn't a good reason for not installing SP2, which will improve a lot of details about networking.

That would have been my next suggestion but you didn't say anything about having issues with Spyware, Virus or Trojans. Alot of programs like P2P apps, piggyback applicatons that screw up the Winsock entries when you uninstall them. So you have to run the above program to fix them.
