Networking & wireless: Network did not assign a network address?
Network did not assign a network address?
by seafox13 - 3/11/06 7:02 PMRunning a broadband wireless network with Netgear modem/router, two desktops, and one laptop.
Routine run of Spybot S&D today zapped my connectivity, and after three system restore operations, the problem is still there.
It tells me that this problem is occurring because ''the network did not assign a network address to the computer.''
Indeed, running ipconfig shows the IP address and Subnet Mask as zeros.
All other machines not affected, but I am floundering attempting to rectify this problem.
I am running WinXP Home on the affected pc, and WinXP Pro on the other two.
I would very much appreciate some advice on this one.
services maybe?

[[One SP2 related update to your standard spiel below is that LSPFIX (and possibly WINSOCKFIX) is no longer necessary with SP2. "netsh winsock reset" will reset the winsock catalog to a nice, clean state.]]

How to determine and recover from Winsock2 corruption

[If you have suddenly lost your Internet connection after removing spy-ware
(such as NewDotNet, and Commonname) the following steps will help restore
your connection. This works for Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP.
1.) Download WinsockFix.zip. (by: Option^Explicit)
http://members.shaw.ca/installations/WinsockFix.zip
2.) UnZip WinsockFix.zip (Pay close attention to where the file is extracted
to.)
3.) Run WinsockFix.exe.
4.) Click the Fix button.
This program will clean up your TCP/IP connection and rebuild the database.
After the program is complete, reboot and your problems should be resolved.

The Winsockfix Utility will:
1.) Detect your current Operating System
2.) Release the IP address, taking you "Offline"
3.) Reset the TCP stack using Netsh.exe (Windows XP only)
4.) Delete the current Registry TCP and Winsock Values
5.) Import new "Working" Registry Values
6.) Backup any Current "Hosts" file
7.) Replace the "Hosts" file with a default one
8.) Reboot the Computer

Thank you, both. All OK now.
by seafox13 - 3/11/06 10:58 PM In reply to: look here by GakadaI thought about it a bit, and noted the addresses by using ipconfig on the other computers in the network, then manually entered the logical missing address on the affected machine.
Where there's a will there's a way, it seems!

by chuckster685 - 5/4/06 9:52 PM In reply to: look here by GakadaThis message from Matt giving me WinSock Fix has saved my life.
I don't quite know how NewDotNet got on my machine but I do know that it took a lot work to get if off and then I lost my internet. I tried everything, I was on the verge of reinstalling my Windows partition but I decided to wait till I could use someone else's internet.
This was the perfect post, I typed "network did not assign a network address XP" into Googel and this was the first on the list.
It even stated what I had done to get this problem.
I alway come here first for downloads but now I've even more to thankfull for!
Thank you Matt and thank you CNET!!!
winsockfix.zip corrected my MCE guide problems
by actprime - 11/22/06 5:26 PM In reply to: look here by GakadaPing OK but Browser faulty. My Windows MCE reported that it could not access the program guide , so it threw away my channel settings and guide data. I restored my machine , messed about with DNS settings . It got so that no browser would work , although i could ping anything . This took maybe 12 hours work.
I used the winsockfix , and MCE started working again . Absolutely brilliant.
I note this in case some other poor soul is fighting MCE in a similar way & it could save them a load of time.
THANKS
by E-CYBER - 2/3/08 6:17 AM In reply to: look here by GakadaI was having the same problem with the "network not assigning network address" and WIN SOCK FIX corrected it with no problems. I was working on this PC for a few days even bought a new network card. Well its fixed and I'm going to get my money back, lol. Stocks maybe down at this time but I'm keeping my CNET stock no mater what. Thanks again!
Re: look here
by regexp - 2/24/08 6:28 PM In reply to: look here by GakadaWinsockFix fixed it for me too. I spent hours on netgear tech support line with some helpful reps, but after hitting the end of the road they suggested I contact HP about the network adapter. I decided it would be easier to buy a new one which didn't work either. This fix gave me an immediate connection. Thanks!
Winsockfix RUIN my PC
by boogernator - 4/8/09 4:51 AM In reply to: look here by GakadaAfter I restarted my pc (commanded from winsoxkfix.exe) It KILLED my Eset Smart Security 4 and it made my LAN and WLAN connection even worst, i thought this was suppose to fix the assigning network address thingy. Luckily my pc had made a restore point so i restored it to a previous state.

What exactly did you do on the server (like formatting and installing and configuring)?
What exactly did you do on the client (like formatting and installing)?
Where does the message come up (client or server)?
When does the message appear?
And what is the full text of the message?
What's the structure of your network (including routers, hubs, Internet connection and that kind of stuff)?
Kees
If you can connect somehow...
by P.R.IDE - 5/11/08 5:07 PM In reply to: Network did not assign a network address? by seafox13If you can connect to the internet using your modem, try this.(If you are hacking someone else's network, this won't work)
1. Open your web browser and make sure it's working.(then minimize it)
2. Connect to the network, even if it gives you that message.
3. Get the network's default gateway on your wireless connection status.(It is under the support tab)If it doesn't say it, it is probably 192.168.1.1
4. Type that into your browser's address bar to change your settings.
