Alright I need help as I am loosing it.
A few weeks ago my cousin bought a 80GB iPod Classic and we used my desktop to rip her CDs and sync her iPod since she doesn't have a decent computer.
All was well until the next day when the computer couldn't obtain an IP. I tried everything to fix it:
assign a static IP - no luck, wouldnt communicate with the network
reinstall drivers - no luck
install a spare NIC - no luck
remove SP3 - no luck
Finally I decided to do a repair install, that fixed it, until today. I went to surf the net and the same issue. Now just so you know my sister uses my desktop so her iPod is setup too (separate windows accounts so I can use iTunes with multiple users).
I went to sync her iPod yesterday and iTunes wanted to install an update, so I let it. Now I have this issue, funny thing is that I recall iTunes wanting to install an update back when I was setting up my cousin's iPod.
Coincidence?
I tried removing iTunes on the first issue, that didn't fix it. This can't be a coincidence, it has to be iTunes.
Any ideas?
Mike
