Trying to fix a XP computer that doesn't seem to connect to the network (wired LAN) via a Realtek RT8168/8111 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC. I don't have the network symbol in the task bar for some reason (the two over lapping computers) and when just clicking "repair local area connection" it can't renew the IP.
I've tried:
- new drivers
- ipconfig /renew and /release
- cable check (the same cable and connection works for other pc's)
- pinging the hub with 100% fail despite hub recording a ping
- checking IP settings are automatic
- winsock
- device manager (says everything is fine)
- system restore
Any ideas people?
