Tried to get into one of the office PCs today via Logmein and was suprised to see it offline,

So I RDPed into another machine on the same local network , and I can RDP into said machine from there - however it doesn't seem to have an internet connection :confused: I've tried rebooting and that didn't seem to make a difference

Just on a simple network going through a router, no changes have been made and other machines are online .

Any ideas how I can diagnose/resolve this, preferably without having to go into the office :p

This PC has XP pro on it, was working fine on Friday
 
What was the problem. Mine does this every time i boot up. Local connection only. Does my head in. I have to disable and then enable the network connection in device manager to get it to fully connect (local and internet). Since puting on windows 7 too.

That PC was set to static IP instead of DHCP , the local DNS server that was pointing to was turned off, so net wouldn't work, hence why I could only RDP in using IP from another local machine :)
