I was having trouble connecting to Limewire,it kept disconnecting. I followed the instructions (http://www.limewire.com/english/content/firewalls.shtml)
in order to connect to the network, part of it was to configure my Firewall to open a port for Gnutella. Even since I completed these instructions I had nothing but problems with my pc.

I lost my ip address a TCP/IP problem as a result of this . I cannot access the internet through my broadband connection. A popup message saying "limited or no connectivity" appears. Also my XP firewall is OFF and I cant access it to turn it back ON due to a problem with "ICP". I cant even establish a new connection. The "Networking" tab in Network Connection settings is GONE!
I have tried MS Dos commands but my ip address/subnet mask/gateway info dont show, when I retry this the Dos screen fills with thousands of letter "H"..??
I uninstalled the network card the used my restore cd roms but nothing happened so I created a restore point to undo the uninstall. I have ran McAfee, Spysweeper, NoAdware, Adaware and everything else in my pc protection arsenal but no related treats were detected.

I finally got command prompt up, the result as follows:

Host Name: your-ntjdlffqll
Primary Dns Suffix: (blank)
Node Type: Broadcast
IP Routing Enabled: No
WINS Proxy Enabled: No

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

Media State: Media disconnected
Description: 3com 3C910 Integrated Fast Ethernet Controller(3CSOHO100B-TX Compatible)
Physical Address: 00-40-2B-7C-22-BE


I have tried everything that I am capable of doing and I am at a loss what to do!
Please, I appreciate any advice you have for me.
