Question : XP Home networking issue

Orbsol,

I have a situation with a small network consisting of a dsl modem, a linksys router, a wireless access point, a win 2008 server, several xp machines and one XP home netbook machine. All machines can access the internet except for the xp home netbook which uses the access point. Other laptops with xp pro can access the net just fine. All machines except the xp home machine are joined to the domain  including a laptop with windows media center (after the banana registry fix).

The netbook machine can ping the server, the router and the other machines but it cannot access the internet.

I've poked around and tried everything I can think of (which wasn't much). Not sure how to solve.

Thanks in advance.

Note: if expert orbsol posts the solution, he will get the points.

It sounds as though the netwbook does not have a default gateway assigned. From a command prompt type "ipconfig /all" without the quotes. Do you have an entry for "default gateway"? If not, this is your problem. Repeat the process on a machine that works to find out what the entry should be and add it manually.
