Yesterday one of my comps on my wireless network dropped off. It happened after i rebooted the computer. I've tried to get it to connect multiple times with no success! I've rebooted the comp twice since then. It says it sees the router but cannot find the internet. Really it does not see the network at all. When i check network connections, my network places, any of that stuff nothing shows up! Of course I am getting an IP address of 127.0.0.1 which is itself. I cannot get it to grab a new IP.

Its not the router or network, I have another wireless computer and a laptop which both work fine. Also the 2 wired comps are fine! Its just the one comp.

Any ideas?

If repairing the connection doesn't help, then rebuild the TCP/IP stack (google will help ;) ).

Im having a similar problem.....
except the internet worked but i kept blinking every 5 minutes which made it impossible to do anything.
We thought it was just a bad wireless card but when i replaced it we couldnt find the any connections. I also have several other computers int he house so its definetly my computer thats messed up. Im going to reboot it here soon to see if that will help.

Using the Netshell utility I rebuilt the stack and I am still experiencing the same problem.
Just to make sure I ran a virus scan and adaware and both came up clean.
While googling how to rebuild the stack I came across a few posts with the same problem where these people wound up reloading XP.
Reason being, you cannot uninstall and reinstall the TCP/IP in XP like you could with previous versions of Windows!
I was really hoping I wouldn't have to reload windows.

I wonder if doing a repair of XP will fix this?

You cant uninstall and reinstall but you can reset it to the original setting ; http://www.onlinecomputertips.com/netwo ... tcpip.html

just wondering, did you also reinstall the wireless device drivers?

The link you provided is exactly what I did to rebuild the stack!
It supposedly corrected several issues but apparently not the issue I am having
I have not reinstalled the wireless drivers yet but, I did try to hard wire it with no success
