Have had numerous calls by customers that have either loaded a Windows update or even Out of Box and their IP ADDRESS is something like 169.254.x.x (standard Windows IP address)
The customers are no longer able to access the web as they can no longer pull an IP ADDRESS from either DSL or Cable modem.
Disabling Automatic IP Addressing in registry does not correct issue.  Most customers keep getting bounced back between ISP and Dell, finally resulting in a Reinstall of the OS to correct issue. 

Have the customer go into the STARTUP GROUP, and disable all STARTUP items, then without rebooting, click on the SERVICE TAB, click HIDE ALL MICROSOFT SERVICE, then what's left in SERVICES, disable all.
Reboot. 
The system should pull a new IP ADDRESS, if not you can setup a connection for broadband for customer. 
They should be able to get online now.  Then go back into STARTUP and recheck all items disables.

 IE errors This program has performed an illegal error and must now close

I have been seeing a lot of IE crashes of late where connection to the ISP is established, OE can send/receive fine, and NetScape-based browsers can browse the Web (when installed or used) but IE errors out upon trying to open it and closes immediately.  Before, this resulted in a time-costly clean reinstall (repair installs are ineffective), but I hit upon a solution that works in the majority of cases and thought I might share for the common good.

The crashes are mostly not being caused by corrupted IE files, but are instead the result of 3rd party IE plug-ins that have become corrupt and are trying to load when IE is invoked.  I discovered this while removing adware plug-ins such as My Search Bar using the ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS for a client desperate to avoid a reinstall.  Once the search bars had been removed, IE returned to normal operating status.  Of course, evaluating individual programs for deletion is time-consuming and even against Dell policy (see Dell's "3rd Party Advertising Software" policy, revised), not to mention dangerous to the OS (some of these programs will destroy the OS as they are removed), but I hit upon a simpler and more efficient method that works like a charm when the corruption is due to plug-ins, and not IE files.

Click on: START > CONTROL PANEL (switch to Classic View) > INTERNET OPTIONS > ADVANCED tab

The last line on the visible options (without scrolling) is usually "Enable 3rd Party Browser Extentions" (paraphrased).  Uncheck it.

Click OK.  Reboot.

Ok, you lose your Google Search Bar (shudder).  But IE now opens and you can browse.
