SYMPTOMS
After you install Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack
2 on a computer that is connected to the
Internet by a digital subscriber line (DSL) modem
or by a cable modem, you may receive a message
that is similar to the following message when you
try to connect to the Internet:
Limited or no connectivity: The connection has limited
or no connectivity. You might not be able to
access the Internet or some network resources.
You may also receive error message 678 or error
message 769.
CAUSE
When a Point-to-Point over Ethernet (PPPoE) connection
is created in Windows XP, Windows XP creates both
a local connection and a broadband connection.
Because Windows XP creates the two connections by
design, and because the Automatic Private Internet
Protocol Addressing (APIPA) address is expected, Windows
XP should not indicate that the local connection
has limited connectivity.
However, if your computer is not configured as a
PPPoE client computer and the computer obtains an
APIPA address, that is a situation where limited
connectivity exists. Therefore, Windows XP should
indicate that the local connection has limited
connectivity. For example, this might occur if a
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server is
not available on your network.
You may also receive this message when one or
more of the following conditions are true: 1. Your
DHCP server is down on a hardwired network. On
a home network, this server could be your Internet
service provider's server, your personal router, or
your DHCP provider.
2. Your DHCP server is down on a wireless
network. On a home network, this server could be
your ISP's server, your personal router, or your
DHCP provider.
3. On a wireless network, this message may appear
when you use an incorrect Wired Equivalent Privacy
(WEP) key or if you do not have a WEP key.
4. You may not have an IP address, or your
TCP/IP settings may be corrupted.
5. You may be experiencing other issues that are
related to your Internet connection.
WORKAROUND
Sometimes, you may receive this message even if
your computer is currently connected to the Internet.
To disable the message, follow these steps: 1.
Click Start, click Run, type ncpa.cpl, and then
click OK.
2. Double-click Local Area Connection, and then click
Properties.
3. On the General tab, click to clear the Notify
me when this connection has limited or no
connectivity check box, click OK, and then click
Close.
Note This does not resolve an issue. It just
turns the message off. |
