I have a computer that is not able to connect to a network drive, when I tried it told me something like there was not network connection. It was able to browse the internet and ping to either IP address or computer name.. I tried to renew IP but it displayed an error message about a problem with RPC. I checked this service (RPC) and it was running. The rest of the computers in the network are working properly. what should I do ?

More than likely you have some sort of malware interferring with your nework connection.

If you are able to ping the ip addresses and able to browse the internet then ipconfig isn't the tool you need. That is used to get the network device (nic, wireless adapter) to connect to the network gateway (router).
Most network problems are fairly simple..
1. The computers on the network do not share the same workgroup name.
2. The computers on the network do not have unique computers names.
3. The firewalls on the network are not configured correctly to allow network connections.
4. One or more firewalls are installed on a computer.
Disconnect the internet access from your router (just to be safe) and turn of the firewalls on each computer check your security center to make sure they are disabled. Then go through steps 1-3 and see if the devices are negotiating connections the way you want them... Then bring your firewalls back on line and reconnect your internet.

If you can't get a DHCP to assign a IP number, then the NIC is defective. Replace it.
