TCP/IP broken for Windows Media Center (XP)

This is not really a wireless issue; however my posting on comp.os.ms-windows.networking.tcp-ip didn't yield any responses. As I value the comments here, this seems like a good alternative.

Something happened with an HP dv5215us notebook. Suddenly for no apparent reason, both the wired and wireless interfaces stopped being able to get an IP address through DHCP, and always get that strange Alternate Private IP. The wireless card appears to connect to the AP, but I cannot be sure that it has authenticated correctly. I have done the following to try to resolve the problem:

  1. Booted a Knoppix CD and verified that the wired ethernet interface is working correctly.

  1. Disabled all firewalls.

  2. Cleared the arp cache with a 'netsh interface ip delete arpcache' command.

  1. Deleted the network interfaces in the device manager and rebooted to reinstall them.

  2. Reset the TCP/IP parameters with a "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" command.

I would appreciate any further commands to run, or any further data from my machine that is needed.

Thanks,

Larry
