I had a wierd one today. Got home at lunch time and tried to connect. no go. No net connection detected at all and windows was assigning me a 169.xx.xx.xx ip address which if you read the sticky usually indicates a PC prob, was working fine the previous night. I left it till I got home from work and it was the same. Tried the winipfix prog they suggest in the sticky, no joy. Restored an old ghost image I know was ok, still no joy. swap from ethernet to USB, still no joy. Spent 45 mins waiting for tech support to answer then another 15 trying to sort the prob. No joy, he says it is a pc prob. Resign myself to it actually being my pc afterall and contemplate spending xxx quid on a 64bit m/b and cpu. Thought since I can't connect to the net I'll have a quick game of links ls 98, devils island. Finished the round 18 over par, quit to desktop, hello, msn icon is there now, checked ip and it is 81.xx.xx.xx now. Rebooted pc, net working perfectly as far as I can tell. :shrugs: dn17 here btw
