Losing internet connection after reboot

Hello,
I have DSL internet, and after rebooting my system (I have XP), I lose internet connection. To get it back I have to run the Network Diagnostics. I contacted Embarq with this problem and they dont seem to know what the problem is. They gave me a series of things to do: go to run, type cmd, then type netsh winsock reset, then reboot the system. I did this and it didn't change anything. I have even tried to uninstall the ethernet card and re-install the drivers, still nothing. I just don't know what to do. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated, thanks.....

Mack

Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 7.0

Hello,

have you checked if the cable works on another pc and also was it working well before you get this kind of problem?

if to the two questions the answer is yes then do you know how to ping a network and configure it manually ?

if no then rewrite here on the forum and i will try to help you in doing it ?

see you

What i can advice is to checkthe link in your router, if they are off you should contact your ISP.if they are all on and stil it is not working try tocheck the RJ-45 if they are ok, also try to theck IP if there correct.
