Since the end of august my sisters xp machine has suddenly just started acting up when you try connect to it on the network. The computer isnt able to access the network for printer or filesharing, and none of the other computers can access it (although, sometimes it shows up in the network on the other computers, it is NEVER accesible) The computer can access the internet just fine. The computer is connected by ethernet to a wireless router/modem and the other 3 computers are wireless. Just now I ran the xp network diagnostic troubleshooter and it came up with this and I hope somebody can help me as I really tried everything short of reinstalling windows (which im not allowed do, I would be dead if i lost any of my sisters msn chat history or if she saw her computer wasnt exactly as she left it last lol)

This is what the troubleshooter said:
Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC (FAILED)

IPAddress = 192.168.1.3 (FAILED)
Pinging 192.168.1.3 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Ping statistics for 192.168.1.3:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss)

192.168.1.3 is the ip of the computer in question.
ANY help greatly appreciated!!!
 
Type ipconfig in a command prompt and post the results. Also, look in the device manager and see if the NIC is functioning properly.

Sounds like a bad NIC or the TCP/IP properties have been changed.

Let us know what you find.
 
Try ipconfig /all. It will give us a bit more to work with. Do this on all the computers on the network to check that there are no conflicting addresses.
 
Thanks for replying! Hers the results for ipconfig /all

C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools>ipconfig /all
