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. |
