I recently formated my hard drive and reinstalled winxp on my laptop. I
can get into my local network but not on the internet. When I try to
repair the tcp/ip it comes up with "... operation failed: renewing the
ip address and flushing the arp cache. All the other computers on my
network work fine. What can I do. Thanks

Hi
It seems that your Network does not provide an IP to the clients.
In General, you can debug the Network Settings of a computer by following
these steps.
Step One. Check the Network parameters in the Computer's Device Manager.
Make sure that the Network Card drivers are installed correctly; i.e. there
is No IRQ conflict, and No Ghost installation.

Step Two. Verify Basic network setting in the OS:

If the above two Steps indicates that every thing looks good but
functionally it does not work.
Step Three. Check (and repair if necessary) the Socket Layers, Winsock, and
or refresh the TCP/IP Stack. http://www.ezlan.net/clean#refreshnet

Can you post more details? There is a DHCP that assigned your IP? Or you
assigned manually? Can you "ping" the DNS and GW servers?
