advanced local area connection properties problem

I cant connect to the internet. I go into the local area connection
properties and click on the advanced tab, it says: Windows cannot display the
properties of this connection. The Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)
information might be corupted.
I have tried to do the system restore, but that didnt help cause I don't
have any restore points because I just reinstalled my Windows XP.
What can I do to fix this.
