TCPIP ISSUE

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.setup (More info?)

169.* indicates your computer can't find a DHCP server and is
autoconfiguring an address. Since a static IP isn't working either, you may
have a hardware problem (try swapping out the patch cable(s), try plugging
into another port on your switch/hub) or a NIC problem. Try updating your
driver. If neither of those works, you may have a larger problem in Windows,
but post back after trying these....

thanks for the suggestions, but i have tried all of the
above.(new nic, new port, new cable) The problem is
definitely within the OS, i have run virus software and
that still has not rectified the issue.

What service pack level are you running?
I've seen several posts about this sort of problem when someone has
uninstalled Norton Antivirus....but those are fairly old posts, and I don't
know that they apply to newer versions of NAV anyway.

Might want to try this:

for WinsockFix.
