First try the System Restore to before this happened.
What Winsock:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/122928
Try this:
= Click Start >> Control panel >> Network and Internet Connections >> Double
click Network connections, then right your LAN Icon and select Properties.
On the LAN properties under General make sure the Internet Protocol TCP/IP
is selected and click Properties.
There make sure the Machine Get assigned Automatically IP address and Renter
the Encryption Key and the Network SSID then click
[OK].
= Click start >> Control Panel >> Double Click Network and Internet
Connections >> Double click Internet Options, on the IE Properties window
you will see these Options:
General | Security | Privacy | Content | Connections | Programs
| Advanced.
Click on Connections tab and make sure the Connection is listed there then
click on LAN settings button and uncheck Automatically detect settings.
Click [OK] and close Hit F5 and open a run command and type in:
ipconfig /flushdns click [OK]
ipconfig /renew click [OK]
netsh winsock reset click [OK]
Download the winsock fix from here:
http://www.nasstec.co.uk/tools.html
Reboot your machine.
Is this connection Wired or wireless?.
HTH.

|

Thanks Steve - this was helpful and has got me closer, but still not quite
connected.
Removed IPv6 off both computers, so IPCONFIG /ALL is now cleaner. Also set
IP address for notebook as you suggested.
I have set up a ad hoc network, no router involved.
Some more info:
Under My network places/entire network/Microsoft Windows Network, on each
computer I see the common workgroup name I have used. But under the
workgroup, I only see the computer I am working on, and folders that I have
set up as shared - no sign of the other computer.
Also when I select View Workgroup Computers, I only see the computer I am
working on.
Not sure if this helps, but under Network Connections-Properties, the
following is listed under "This connection uses the following items"
Desktop
Client service for netware
Client for Microsoft networks
Odyssey network services
File and print sharing for Microsoft networks
QoS packet scheduler
NWLink NetBIOS
NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible transport protocol
AEGIS Protocal IIEEE 802.1x1 v3.2.0.3
Internet protocol (TCP/IP) - which I previously set to enable NetBIOS over
TCP/IP
Notebook
Client for Microsoft networks
File and print sharing for Microsoft networks
QoS packet scheduler
AEGIS Protocol IIEEE 802.1x1 v3.6.0.0
WLAN Transport
Internet protocol (TCP/IP) - also set to enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP
Any other ideas?

Unless you're using it for a specific purpose, remove "Microsoft
TCP/IP version 6" from the network connections on both computers.
Normal file and printer sharing doesn't use it. Removing it will also
remove the Teredo and Tunnel stuff from the ipconfig output.
The computers can't talk to each other because their wireless network
connections have IP addresses in different subnets:
Desktop: 192.168.0.1
Notebook: 169.254.128.67
The solution depends on how you've set up your wireless network.
Is it set up in Infrastructure mode (both computers connect to a
wireless router)? If so, the Notebook isn't getting an IP address
from the router.
Is it set up in Ad-Hoc mode (computers connect directly to each
other)? If so, assign the Notebook a static IP address that's
compatible with the Desktop, such as 192.168.0.2.

You're welcome, Paul.
Remove the Netware and NWLink entries from the Desktop's network
connection.
Make sure that both computers are successfully connecting to the
Ad-Hoc wireless network.
Configure any firewall program (Norton, McAfee, ZoneAlarm, PC-cillin,
etc) to allow access by other computers on the local area network.
Note that some recent antivirus programs, such as Norton Antivirus
2006, include firewall components.
Browsing through My Network Places is inherently unreliable, and I
recommend not using it. To see the other computer's shared folders,
type the other computer's name in the Start > Run box in this format:
\\computer

SP2 has an "improved" firewall - turn it off (at least temporarily) and see
if you have success.

Thanks for your help, nass and Chuck. Today, I didn't have the problem
I mentioned with one of my laptops. I only tested the problem with one
of my laptops today as I only use Winamp with one of them as there is
no need to listen to two net radio stations for me at the same time,
but I did follow part of your instructions already:
I deleted the cache, cookies and history for all my web browsers and
scanned/checked my laptops with the latest updates and using the full
scans with Avira AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic Build 247
(2007-05-10), Ad-Aware SE Personal Build 1.06r1, Spybot - Search &
Destroy 1.4, Windows Defender 1.1.1593.0, HijackThis 1.99.1 (the old,
free version), and Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer 2.0.1 and
didn't find anything suspicious. I also visited the Microsoft Update
web site and checked for high-priority updates (I do have automatic
updates turned on, but I checked the site anyway). I haven't read the
web pages (and other web pages they link to) you have mentioned yet as
it may take some time to read them and follow their instructions, but
I might get back here if I have something to add about my situation. |

Hi
If your question is pertaining Wireless Computer in order to connect to a
common WIFI Network (802.11a/b/g/),
Windows Wireless Zero Configuration is the components that need to be used.
Concerning Wireless, UPnP is mainly used for Wireless appliances.

I tried other computers and ping does not light up all ports when I do it

So what is going on with my gig ethernet connected computer?
Any ideas?

Well I have seemed to have solved this problem using good ole MAGIC (as
usual). I reinstalled the driver in both USB and Network and ran that for a
few days. The network side disappeared but the USB side stayed. I remapped
the USB to the network address.
I also took off that wonderful 60/90 trial of Norton and put on Avast!
instead. This was under the theory that this was happenning at SOME POINT
during the day and Norton was one thing that would RUN after hours.
I'm not sure which of the fixes did the trick but my customer has been
problem free for over two weeks now so I'm counting it as a success. I always
love it when I put on my wizard's hat and play Harry Potter with a system.

Removed IPv6 off both computers, so IPCONFIG /ALL is now cleaner. Also set
IP address for notebook as you suggested.
I have set up a ad hoc network, no router involved.
Some more info:
Under My network places/entire network/Microsoft Windows Network, on each
computer I see the common workgroup name I have used. But under the
workgroup, I only see the computer I am working on, and folders that I have
set up as shared - no sign of the other computer.
Also when I select View Workgroup Computers, I only see the computer I am
working on.
Not sure if this helps, but under Network Connections-Properties, the
following is listed under "This connection uses the following items"
Desktop
Client service for netware
Client for Microsoft networks
Odyssey network services
File and print sharing for Microsoft networks
QoS packet scheduler
NWLink NetBIOS
NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible transport protocol
AEGIS Protocal IIEEE 802.1x1 v3.2.0.3
Internet protocol (TCP/IP) - which I previously set to enable NetBIOS over
TCP/IP
Notebook
Client for Microsoft networks
File and print sharing for Microsoft networks
QoS packet scheduler
AEGIS Protocol IIEEE 802.1x1 v3.6.0.0
WLAN Transport
Internet protocol (TCP/IP) - also set to enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP
Any other ideas?
You're welcome, Paul.
Remove the Netware and NWLink entries from the Desktop's network
connection.
Make sure that both computers are successfully connecting to the
Ad-Hoc wireless network.
Configure any firewall program (Norton, McAfee, ZoneAlarm, PC-cillin,
etc) to allow access by other computers on the local area network.
Note that some recent antivirus programs, such as Norton Antivirus
2006, include firewall components.
Browsing through My Network Places is inherently unreliable, and I
recommend not using it. To see the other computer's shared folders,
type the other computer's name in the Start > Run box in this format:
\\computer

|
|
I too have the exact same problem. I even tested using the ftp.microsoft.com
syntax as per the 'helpful' prompt but got the same error message. Im using
Xp Pro on a wireless networked laptop
If I use IE7 I can access my FTP (and Microsoft FTP) site but can't open it
in Windows Explorer from the Page menu, I just get another error message
saying Cannot open site in Windows Explorer.
Strange - I can update the FTP site from my desktop (XP Home) that is on the
same network
Anyone got any ideas???
Thanks
Steve

I am trying to add a FTP site through the Add Network Place Wizard. I select
the option to "Choose another network location" and try to enter in a FTP
address (the proper way ftp://ftp.abc123.com) but get an error message when
trying to continue: "The folder you entered does not appear to be valid.
Please choose another".
I am able to do this from the same machine by going to IE but believe
something is messed up with the OS and/or network card, etc. I haven't been
able to find anything on this. I can add this FTp site on other machines with
no issue so I believe this is isolated to this one machine. Can anyone help?
I am running Windows XP Pro SP2 w/ IE 7. Thanks.

Both computers connect automatically on bootup to the ad hoc network, both
members of the same workgroup name. Also tried with firewalls disabled, but
still not able to see each other.
Any further suggestions? Current ipconfig /all output

On each computer, open a command prompt window (Start > Run > cmd) and
type these commands, substituting the actual computer names of the
desktop and laptop. What are the results?
ping 192.168.0.1
ping 192.168.0.2
ping desktop
ping laptop
