Additionally, unless you have a different DNS server, ensure that "Obtain DNS server address automatically" is also selected.</div>

<div><div style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;color:#000000">Good morning everyone,<br> I've apparently done something less than optimally intelligent to my home office computer over the weekend and now can't get access to the internet under WinXP<br>
I don't remember the exact message.<br> It appears that it doesn't believe that I have any access to the LAN or beyond.<br> I immediately tried to access the internet from my Mac, and did so with no problems. So my LAN is working just fine.<br>
Windows, however, is being anti-social.<br> And the basic troubleshooting items that I'm finding on the web to fix the network / LAN / TCP/IP, while easy to follow through (e.g. Control Panel -> Networks -> Connection -> Properties), don't actually appear to make any difference.<br>
<br> As usual, any help will be much appreciated.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Frank<br><div style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">
