I have a desktop and a laptop, both using XP. The desktop connects to the
net via a router and I can (usually) connect the laptop wirelessly. I also
use the laptop at a distance too great to obtain a wireless connection so I
use a Belkin Powerline adaptor to connect via the house's mains.

At the moment I am unable to get connected either wirelessly or via the
Belkin. Messages tell me that I have limited or no connectivity. I've
started the WZC, I've checked the 'TCP/IP' box, I've checked the box 'obtain
an IP address automatically', I've closed the computer down and restarted it
and I've disconnected and reconnected the cables and router. Now I'm stuck
with no success. The IP address the machine is finding does not appear to be
the correct one - according to BT whose Home Hub router I'm using.

Can anyone help here?

You need to tell us the IP address used by your router. You also need to
post the output from this command:

ipconfig /all

If you're connecting via wire, this has no influence.

Does the service cross fuse or breaker panels? If so, many, if not all,
powerline adapters are defeated by this.

It seems to tho'. I've had this before and managed to correct it, but can't
now.

Sure. But this has worked previously.

Your report tells me this:
- Your router's IP address is 192.168.1.64
- Your Gateway address is 192.168.1.254
- Your DNS server address is 192.168.1.254
- Your PC's IP address is 192.168.1.66

There is something wrong here. In order to get onto the Internet, your
Gateway and DNS addresses must point at your router. They don't - they point
at 192.168.1.254. Which device owns this address?

Here is what I would expect to find:
- Router address: 192.168.1.254
- Gateway addresss: 192.168.1.254
- DNS server address: 192.168.1.254
- PC IP address: 192.168.1.66

WHAT? your post is wrong and there is nothing wrong with the IP info he
posted.

It's up to you. The "The Real Truth MVP" is a well-known troll who takes
pleasure in dishing out misleading advice. He is likely to respond by saying
that everyone else is a troll.

What makes you think that your IP addresses are correct?
What is the device that uses 192.168.1.254?

Try my Winsock Repair network tool. Download it here http://www.ms-mvp.org/

You could download and run the "Winsock Repair Tool", recommended by one of
the respondents in this thread. I will probably wreck your machine, thus
solving your networking problem. To get the general idea, type this into a
Google search box: "The Real Truth MVP" (complete with double quotes), then
look at a few of the numerous links.

In article <LewXl.25540$as4.16756@nlpi069.nbdc.sbc.com>, trt@void.com

The site is not a MVP site, not associated with Microsoft, and the site
has a very bad reputation for hosting filthy pornographic materials.

You should avoid that site at all costs.

Search Google for reset winsock and click on the microsoft links - they
will give you Microsoft approved directions to reset winsock.
