    Try this--Start, click Run, type "ipconfig", hit enter, type "ip/release", hit enter.  Next line type "ip/renew", enter.  These should be typed without the quotes.  You can't renew until you release.  Not guaranteed to get an IP address, but it's a good place to start.

    Paste this into a command prompt:

    C:\ipconfig /all >> C:\ipconfig.txt

    Paste the results from this file here and lets look at it.

    Looks like you have lost some system files.

     

    Load the XP disc and from the menu type:  sfc /scannow
