I just did a clean install of xp pro on my 8600 and now I'm having a problem grabbing an IP address from my network. I go into CMD and try to release and renew it but no luck. The IP address that I get is 169.254.202.80...which is far off the normal 192.168.x.x that I should be getting. I've tried restarting several times and no luck. I've tried the resetting of the IP log file (netsh int ip reset dellip.txt) but no luck either. It worked fine before I did the clean install.

I've contacted Dell support but it takes time for them to respond, so if anyone can help me out I'd really appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.
