Silly Windows

Beta Band - The House SongI just fixed my IP problem.
When I ran ipconfig /renew I got the following error:
An error occured while renewing interface local area connection 3 : The system cannot find the file specified
Microsoft's solution was to run:
netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
And if that didn't work, do a repair install of XP (what I just did).
Google's second result was much better:
Get to the computer manager (right-click My Computer->Manage->Services)
Make sure DHCP client starts automatically.
Start the client if it hasn't already.
Turns out the DHCP client wasn't even on. Silly Windows.
The next thing I did was unplug the ethernet cable. Since I repaired windows with a SP1 version of XP, I have hereby declared this computer unfit for Internet usage. Hopefully it can survive just long enough to backup whatever hasn't been backed up already, then I can just format this beast. It needs it; my brother has lots of crap on here that's bogging it down.
