You are quite correct Just. Repairing the LAN connection will attempt to renew an IP address from the DHCP server. However you cannot get any information from that. If it cant renew a valid IP address it will just say that it cant repair the connection. But if the connection shows a PC generated IP address of 169.... and I renew from the command line I could get an error saying
"An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket". That immediately tells me it is a WINSOCK error which is a PC related issue. Windows XP, use system restore and that will solve the problem. 3 minutes troubleshooting and a happy customer
