I have a P4 XP repair that's stumping me. It had a virus problem that looks to be cleared. It took the PC offline and appears to have removed all links to internet explorer. Clicking the default "Internet" button in the start menu only takes you to the Internet Options window. Anyway, I've tried the existing IE7, newly-installed IE8, renewing IP address, and pinging external sites and nothing works. The IP address will release but it won't renew. The NIC looks to be fine but I installed another one anyway and still nothing. Both show up as healthy and enabled in the Device Manager but I can't seem to get this thing online. I haven't checked to see if it can see anything local yet like another PC or the router. I'll try that when I get home. Any other ideas?
EDIT: I forgot to mention that the owner does not have any installation discs. The case has the XP COA sticker but I don't have any windows discs to use. So it would appear reinstalling windows is out of the question for now...
