1.	Solve : Windows XP SP2 Internet Connectivity Issues - Any Ideas?
Answer» I'm in the process of fixing a laptop for my friend. It's a Sony Vaio Model VGN-FJ370. I formatted the HD and installed Windows XP SP2 32 BIT. Of course I ended up with a bunch of missing drivers. Went through them one by one and got them all installed. The LOCAL Area Connection SAYS connected and the Internet Gateway also says connected. I'm hooked up through an Ethernet to a portable router. The TCIP settings are set to obtain the IP address and DNS address automatically.
