About this tag
The auto fixit tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about Microsoft's retired automated troubleshooting tools, particularly the Fix It solution center. In one thread, a user restoring an old Windows XP Home machine encounters missing TCP/IP properties after recovery, noting that Microsoft's auto fixit for such network issues is no longer available. The conversation explores alternative methods to resolve the problem, including workgroup connectivity and manual TCP/IP configuration. This tag is relevant for users seeking help with legacy Windows network problems that were once addressed by Microsoft's automated fixit utilities.
After restoring an old XP Home machine to initial state, I can't seem to connect to the internet. The machine is working fine with my workgroup (Win 7, 8.1 & 10 systems on that group), but TCP/IP doesn't show up in the LAN Properties.
I am using an ARRIS gateway (cable modem, router & switch)...
