i've got a problem. I've got Windows XP SP2. I was gaming today, and all of a sudden my internet drops out. But not just that, my entire network connections doesn't function properly. It says something like "Limited or no connection" (i'm not at my own PC ofcourse, so i don't recall what it says exactly). It says that after it's got a lot of problems with the "acquiring network adress" messages the LAN-connection shows when i just start the PC up. A message i didn't even see ever before this stuff started. If i turn of the ISP protocol (this i do know how to do ) it does connect to the router, but that's all. All the other PC's have XP as well, and do function properly.
Now i am a complete n00b on networking, and so is everyone in this house. I googled a bit around the internet and all i came across were a LOT of people with the same issue, but they all solved it in terms i really really don't understand. So, could someone please help me in human terms, and explain the solution for me step by step as soon as possible? I really need internet for my study (and my gaming from time to time )!! I'm desperate for the solution!!
