I have had a network setup on my computer,I recently had a virus so had to format my pc. I now cannot get the network running. Everything seems to be ok, but when I load some of the license's for the software I use I get a message saying that it cannot find my host id and that the network card might not be working. If i run ip config it shows me my host id, and all the drivers are upto date for my network cards. I have even tried network cards from my other computer that is running ok and still get the same message. I think it might be software related, but don't have a clue. Any ideas would be helpful. I am running windows xp pro on two P4 1.7s. The other computer runs the software fine even if the network is unplugged.
Could try Winsockxp fix. that may do it. But dont see how that could be the problem if you just installed the OS. http://www.iup.edu/house/resnet/WinsockXPFix.exe -del
