I have 4 work stations connected to a Linksys router. On one pc out of
all of them XP Home edition has No internet.

when I do  ipconfig/release  renew ipconfig /all  it  gets a ip
address  192.168.1.4
and shows  two dns servers. dns 70.**** etc.
Cannot ping www,yahoo.com etc.
Cannot go to any external web addresses with IE7 or Firefox.

CAN access local shares no problem.

Installed NEW wired NIC same situation.

I ran tcp/ip repair reset winsock etc with software at
http://www.snapfiles.com/get/xptcpiprepair.html

you mention a wired NIC (and this is a wireless newsgroup) but,
assuming you really mean wired, have you unplugged one of the other
computers and connected the cable from the non working computer to a
known working port on the router where the working computer was
plugged in? this would rule out a bad port on the router for
starters.

can u post the full text output of ipconfig /all as a reply please?

if you have a broadband modem, one thing to try is to power down the
modem, remove the router and then connect the problematic computer
direct to the modem, plug in the modem and reboot the computer. if
the computer gets an IP and can surf, then you can pretty much rule
out anything on that computer/NIC

Hi
Use this process in this page to check the NIC.
Wire, http://www.ezlan.net/debug.html
Wireless, http://www.ezlan.net/wireless.html
If every thing checks OK try this,
http://www.ezlan.net/clean.html#refreshnet

Sometimes tells me the NIC's are installed correctly if I can get a IP
via DHCP from either of them in the same PC and I can browse other
computer shares on the local network.
Is is possible something is blocking ports ?

Hi
Ports are usually blocked by Firewall, or if there is a very specific
application that was installed in order to block ports.
Otherwise, by default all ports are Not closed, or Opened, they are just
idling waiting to be use if needed.
However port Closed or Open has nothing to do with the NIC installation. If
the NIC is Not installed correctly the Network can not work.

If teither of the nics were not installed correctly I wouldnt be able
to browse or write to other local shares right ?
I am leaning towards uninstalling Norton Anti-Virus 2008 (Not norton
internet security) before I re-install windows.
