Can't connect to LAN

[Regulluz]

I have this system which had been through a very hard week. It first was not displaying e-mail messages correctly in Outlook 2003 from Exchange, then it turned out the Panda AntiVirus was causing the problem, and we disabled it. After finishing, the PC will not connect to the Network. I disconnected it from the Domain, and when tried again, no domain is found. The IP of that PC is unknown and it is being "taken"from a DHCP, which does not exist. There is actually a DHCP, but for example, DHCP Scopes are 10.10.10.1 and this machine is getting a 20.25.156.30 which is not part of the scoupe. If I assing a fixed IP, it can then connect to other systems for a while, and will disconnect after. It also won't let me browse the network. It is a Win2k system in a SBS2000 domain.

Please help!!

As a first step, repair your workstation Winsock Service. This little freeware utility does it quite nicely:
