No need to do anything else.
The main problem is the 169.254.x.x address after installing XP SP2.
For a safer side you can also reset the router (like unplug from wall and plug it in)

here is the fix to the problem...
forget applying the patch fix for SP2
Just uninstall SP2, it really just got the firewall software from Microsoft, not really worth having. As I am sure you would have your own firewall software.
I have a sneaking suspicion that Microsoft has treaked the code for DHCP handling in SP2. So another way to get around this would be to hardcode the IP address of your PC using private IP addresses.
For fool-proof, just use 192.168.0.1~192.168.0.255 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Good luck!
Post by: Purple Mike on November 04, 2004, 12:07:14 AM
I have been dealing with the same issues since updating to SP2. And only one other person noticed the same thing, it seems the DHCP Server isn't working right, or not compatible with something. I have trekked all over the net searching and following every thread.
Many say it worked for me and this and that. Well not here.
The winsocksfix doesn't work...I resetted TCP/IP which microsoft says TCP/IP cant be uninstalled and installed so this resetting of TCP/IP is how they achieve the same action.
The regpatch didn't help.
What I have noticed though, is DHCP isnt working so XP assigns this alternative IP which is how XP knows to display 'Limited or no connectivity'...when it see's that IP a flag goes up and we have a warning.
Though surfing the net with this warning present, my surfing didn't appear to suffer...I went to some sites to benchmark dloading of 200mb files to see xfer rate, and I was doing 378kb /s using a DSL modem.
Manually configuring a static IP works! But really all that is really doing is being as that other address isnt used a flag doesnt go up.
So using 192.168.1.x just lets XP know everything is normal.
BUT, during my escapades in trying to resolve this issue using the winsocksfix and the regpatch and resetting tcp/ip and so on, at one point my surfing capabilities suffered greatly.
Going to google.ca would 50% of the time result in the page could not be loaded...and going to other big pages with java, a lot of the buttons wouldnt load so you had to refresh so that more data would get cached till you could get all the components on that page.
Uninstalling SP2 is a big mistake as you will be exposed to spyware and trojans and virus' that will exploit security vulnerabilities. SP2 patches these security holes.
Besides that isnt a solution, that is avoiding the problem.
My advise, don't play with these winsocksfix and registry patches and tcp/ip reset methods. Don't muck about because nothing is wrong except Microsofts own DHCP server. Just manually configure a static IP.
Right click on your NIC and go properties...select the tcp/ip internet protocol and go properties...on the general tab change the obtain ip address automatically and enter 192.168.1.2 or 192.168.2.2, either is fine, then the subnet 255.255.255.0
Thats it, dont go nowhere else close these and restart so things will be flushed and cleared and surf away.
Go to some broadband ISP site and go to technical support and do a speed test. just to verify everything is okay.
Even if you didn't make a static IP, and your connection warns the 'limited or no connectivity' message and did this speed test, you should find your service is not impaired.
But because DHCP is not working, it's not assigning an IP address, and if one doesn't get assigned then it uses the *damaged line* IP address of 169.254.216.51 and a subnet of 255.255.0.0
Its simply a reflex...simple logic...if DHCP doesn't assign an IP address then it must not be able to communicate with the modem...so the modem or cable must be damaged...but no, not the DHCP itself.
Done!
Post by: Guest on November 04, 2004, 04:42:04 PM
(netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt)-rebuilds tcp/ip
(ipconfig /flushdns)-flushes the dns
(ipconfig /registerdns)-registers dns, must be done after flushing
These commands may work, also you could try to rebuild the nic.
Post by: Guest on November 04, 2004, 08:43:06 PM
The netsh basically reinstalls the TCP/IP Stack.
Post by: Guest on November 07, 2004, 01:07:46 PM
Just one thing to add: in addition to IP address and subnet mask, make sure you also specify a default gateway (the IP address of your router ie. probably 192.168.1.1). I didn't do this at first and could connect to my router, but not get on the internet. Was very scared at first that this solution didn't work either, but after a bit of playing around it now seems to be fine... fingers crossed.
Post by: Graphit on November 12, 2004, 12:02:22 PM
I tried all remedies without any luck. The sp2 patch KB884020 with the regfix, resetting IP stack with the netsh.. command. But with no luck. Even configuring my wireless adapters with a fixed IP didn't help.
But, just now, i saw some ligth at the end of (my) tunnel. I changed the SSID of my wireless network and... I was able to connect both machines in no time to the new SSID. Did several repairs and restarts only to find out that IP addresses were being acquired correctly.
Now I even changed back the net SSID to the old one and both portables are able to connect without any problem, properly receiving their IP address from the dhcp server.
I'will keep on diagnosing this problem, and keep my findings posted here.
Post by: Guest on November 12, 2004, 11:20:07 PM
Then, I changed the name of my wireless network using the router utility. Following this, I ran the wireless wizard on my laptop. I entered the new wireless network name. Whaddayaknow! It worked.
I changed the wireless network name back the way it was previously, re-ran the wireless wizard on the laptop and everything is still working.

Everything was fine after SP2 until a week ago when LAN stopped working. Since I did not recently install any patches/fixes from MS site how could it be a problem with SP2?
Anyone heard of a virus that messes with TCP/IP settings, etc???

Before reading your post I had tried the hotfix, reg patch etc with no luck. Then I did what you said, configured the IP addresses manually and I was back in business!
Cheers!
Post by: Sheero on December 04, 2004, 08:44:11 PM
To fix it you have to:
1.Somehow get a program that handles wireless connections
ex.Wireless USB 2.0 WLAN Card Utility
2.Right-click your connection, click Properties, click wireless connections and uncheck
the box that says "Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings.
Only for non-encryption users.
3A.Just tell your 3rd party program to handle the connections and it will work.
Only for WEP encryption users.
3B.Using your 3rd party program, configure the wireless connection's encryption so that you enter a passphrase (WEP Only).
I hope this works for you because it worked for me! lol.
Post by: Nighthand on December 05, 2004, 05:13:06 PM
I have the same problem. I've tried everything short of uninstalling SP2 (which i'd much rather not have to resort to) Hotfix, all that, nothing worked.
Came here, started reading through this. Purple Mike's post about the IP i tried. RAY OF HOPE! instead of no connectivity, it says connected!
but no, it still doesn't work. it sends packets, but doesn't recieve them.
my setup: DSL comes in via it's modem. That hooks up to a linksys router. The router then splits the connection; one to my dad's desktop, one to a currently unuse and unconnected cord (which i'm using temporarily to get on. Surprisingly, the hard line here works, but the wireless still doesn't.) the other port of the router goes to a linksys wireless access point.
Normally, my mom on her laptop, my brother on his desktop with a USB wireless adapter, and myself on my laptop all connect wirelessly. in the past it's worked fine. It worked fine for months after i installed SP2.
Now the odd things come in.
My dad, upon getting his new computer, took over the router. he changed the name and password so that only HE can access it, and he refuses to tell anyone else.
My dad doesn't talk to me anymore due to family things, so i can't ask him to do anything, and can't access the router. resetting at the moment is out of the question. however, my dad turns off the power strip in there each night, turning off the DSL modem, router, and access point.
Now, with four computers on the network, only one is affected by this lack of connection at a time. It started happening about a month ago, circumstances led me to think it was my dad's attempts to keep me from using the net. it appears to only hit the fourth computer to log onto the network. first my mom, then my brother, then my dad, and then finally due to a late get up this morning, me.
again, it's just the wireless not working for me, the wired is working fine. not sure what this may have to do with.
I've tried various IPs, but none that i've tried work. here's the list of settings:
IPs tried: 192.168.1.104, 192.168.1.99, 192.168.1.255, 192.168.2.2, 192.168.1.2
subnet mask: default at 255.255.255.0
gateway: Initially blank, upon reading further posts was set to the router's 192.168.1.1
DNS server settings left blank, because i have no clue what to put there.
now, i'm 99% sure that turning off the power and resetting it would solve this, but that's only a temporary fix; the fourth one to sign on would still be hit. i COULD ignore it and be greedy as the first on, but eventually it would be reset and my computer would be a tad slow, or whatever, and i'd be again locked out. so i want to know if there's anything i can do.
Thanks for reading all this, and for any help you can give...

Have you tried going to
START>>>Run>>type in services.msc
On the right hand side look for this service
Wireless Zero Configuration
Double click on it and Stop the service
It may help some out
This needs to be made into an organized sticky
Put Purple Mikes suggestion and a few others
Including Winsock fix
Registry fix
Leave uninstalling SP2 as a last resort
You can also try a repair on the Wireless connection
This is From Microsoft
The Repair capability has been enhanced in Windows XP SP2 for wireless connections. You can access the Repair capability through the Repair context menu option of a connection or from the Repair button on the Support tab of the Status dialog box of a connection. When you repair a wireless connection, it is disabled and re-enabled, which clears many error conditions on wireless network adapters.

"Limited or No Connectivity Error
Today, I spent a few hours helping to clean up a friend's computer that hasn't been serviced in over 2 years. The first thing I did was uninstall the user's non-functioning antivirus program (the definitions had expired several months prior), booted into safe mode and removed a handful of virii using Symantec's Automated Support Assistant. I then installed Norton Antivirus and did a complete scan of the system.
Next step was to check and remove all unwanted startup programs in the registry, in the Startup folder and running services. Silent Runners does a great job of identifying and reporting all Windows startup programs (it's a small effective VB program that uses the WMI). I then installed two spyware removal tools, AdAware and Spybot Search and Destroy. I finished up by cleaning up the Temp and Temporary Internet Files folders and defragging the system using VoptXP (a very fast defrag utility - much faster than dfrg.msc).
After I was done, the internet connection stopped working and I started receiving a "Limited or No Connectivity" error. I tried a variety of strategies including re-installing the network card, checking the physical connections, ect. The culprit was corruption in Winsock and the TCP/IP stack (undoubtedly caused by the spyware). I used the Winsock XP Fix tool to do the repairs (it's actually a VB implementation of the information provided in Microsoft KB article 299357 - How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) in Windows XP).
Here is a link to the repair program:
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html (http://\"http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html\")
"
I followed via Microsoft's help site...located at:
(How to determine and recover from Winsock2 corruption)
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811259 (http://\"http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811259\")
I didn't even see the link the other author put at the end of his message until I was already done and got my wife's laptop to work again via the internet. But it works...and I hope this helps you all out..I have seen millions of forums packed with many many ppl asking for help..and I found this..and would feel bad if I didn't share it.
Post by: guestolo on December 21, 2004, 01:46:53 AM
another great utility is LSP fix

Does the same job as Winsock fix but can give you more control in what you want to remove from your LSP settings

It appears that WiFi needs to know what network your DHCP server is on *BEFORE* it can communicate with it to get set up on the right network (chicken and egg).
People have suggested setting a fixed IP configuration (which works) but if you frequently travel with your laptop to different WiFi access points you really need DHCP.
So (DRUM ROLL) simply set the default gateway to be the correct one for the DHCP server you want to use. Go to start->control panel->network and internet connections->network connections -> Right click and Properties on the WiFi connection -> Double click Internet Protocol TcpIp item -> click Advanced -> under Default Gateways click Add -> type the new gateway address (eg. 192.168.0.1 or 10.10.0.1) -> OK all the way back to the desktop.
You'll see that now you have a DHCP address and everything works fine.
Note if you use different subnets on each of your different Wireless Access Points you will need to change the default gateway each time. (BTW if you don't understand the last sentence it probably doesn't apply to you)

I'm running a "LINKSYS"
My main desktop w/ XP Pro SP2 runs fine as does my backup system which also has XP Pro SP2. The problem is my Toshiba Satellite Laptop it still won't connect (or atleast let me on the NET, it does show up on my LINKSYS when plugged in) It is also w/ XP Pro SP2. I've done nothing different on any of the OS installs but the laptop insists on the [color=\"red\"]"Limited or no connectivity"[/color] I've pulled the cable connection from either desktop and tried it in the laptop....(I'm not trying to run all three at once.....I only need 2) The laptop won't connect even if plugged in bypassing the LINKSYS...it did connect with a version of XP Home prior to the XP Pro (direct connect not via the Workgroup Switcher).
Additional info: Backup system has an earlier version of XP Pro and was updated with sp2. Main system has a new version of XP Pro that has SP2 already included in the CD. Installed a new XP Pro w/Sp2 on the laptop.
If I plug in the laptop the lights on my LINKSYS show it's connected to the laptop....and when I unplug the cable from the back of the laptop it shows the cable has been pulled. (you get the little X'd computer icon lower right corner.)

You can try rolling back the drivers for your NIC card and whatever hardware is giving you grief.
Now as I said, I've only read a small part so this may or may not help you. But it's worth a try is it not?

I am set up on a laptop with a WIfi card. My friend came round, setup with an Intel Centrino. I can't remember why but i disconected from the network, he connected alright, however. Whenever i try to reconnect i just get this limited or no connectivity pop up. I never had any problems like this before either.
Then my friend left, so i assumed it would be ok, but its still all the same
/sad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':(\' /> . I don't know what to do. Any ideas guys?

I am a Computer Tech. After much research, and after applying the Winockfix. the Microsoft patch, typing in "192,168.0.2" into the "Alternate Configuration" of TCP/IP properties, uninstalling and reinstalling the NIC, and doing the DNS flush, I found a solution to my "limited or no connectivity" problem. (These other fixes have worked in some cases on other machines except for mine.)
My network card was a Realtek RTL8139/810X. I changed the driver to one I downloaded from Realtek. After installing the RTL8139 (without /810X) driver, the problem was fixed. So the problem in my case was with Win XP SP2s NIC driver update. Hopefull, this will help someone.

[quote name=\'Guest\' date=\'Nov 7 2004, 12:07 PM\']A very, very big thank you to everyone on this forum who have suggested to make a static IP address!!! I have been playing around with different solutions for over a week now with my wireless network and although some things appeared towork at first, the good ol 'limited or no connectivity' kept coming back...
Just one thing to add: in addition to IP address and subnet mask, make sure you also specify a default gateway (the IP address of your router ie. probably 192.168.1.1). I didn't do this at first and could connect to my router, but not get on the internet. Was very scared at first that this solution didn't work either, but after a bit of playing around it now seems to be fine... fingers crossed.

I also recommend a custom install to opt out of the software firewall and webfiltering features -- Panda is enough of a PIG without these features enabled. Get yourself a d-link or linksys router with built-in hardware firewall and stop googling 4 porn!

Everything was working, then I put a secondary PCI video card in it to run dual montors. Network stopped working. hub has link lights. running dell boot up diagnostics show the nic works. running Intel diagnostics show that loopback tests fail. fussed with it alot... put in a second NIC, a linksys. Network works on the second nic. can't get it work on the first nic. remove video card. first nic still doesn't work. installed a different dvd rom and HD (I was gonna install Win2k on the second HD)... .but by accident I booted up to WinXP. Both NICS worked! Both NICS were getting IPs!
Put video card in PCI slot 1... First nic (built in nic ) stopps working. Put in yet another HD to format.... but somehow the format hangs... I remove the HD. XP reboots. BOTH NICS work! One last try cause I'm stubborn.. put video card in PCI slot 2. Reboot.. First NIC doesnn't work. I'm screwed.
spend 3 more hours on it... rebuild winsock. netsch to clear tcp/ip watever.. turn stupid built in NIC on and off..... .. whatever... move the second NIC through all PCI slots... install hotfix... enable.. disable..
I did everything I could find on the net to fix the problem. The only thing I can't do is to move remove the built in NIC.
I'm out of options.. about to do a system restore to original installation.

i have a tower connected to my 3com switch. It works fine. If i connect it to the cable modem it works fine also.
The problem was in my laptop. when the laptop is connected to the 3com switch, NO LOVE. Then to the modem.. still NO LOVE.
someone mentioned turning off the modem for 10-15min so a new address will be given to the netcard. they also mentioned the MAC address.
HERES HOW I SOLVED IT.
Went to my tower. Which is my system that connects fine. Then go to Start>Run> type:cmd > then at the prompt: ipconfig /all.
I took the Physical Address: 00-11-5B-2C-BB-0A
wrote it down..
Then went to my Laptop to input the numbers.
Network connections> Rightclick> Properties> click 'configure' button (next to netcard name)
Click Advanced tab.
select 'Network Address' input number with no dashes '00115B2CBB0A'. press OK
And there you have it.
I have a Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC.
I guess turning off the modem for 10-15 works also to get a new MAC/Physical Address, but i havent tried it.
I did try everything else, patch, 'netsh winsock reset' , 'netsh winsock reset catalog', regedit, etc.. no love with those attempts..
Must be something with Realtek..
Hope that helps!!!
