| 226189 | 2004-03-31 21:21:00 | Good suggestion to try a repair of IE WTF - not really keen to suggest the next step if it can be avoided. Feel free if you want to, as you are better at explaining these things. |

| 226190 | 2004-04-01 07:22:00 | Yes I have tried a repair and also run Microsoft Security Update CD which has updated everything.......but the problem is STILL there. ...If I can't fix the thing tomorrow - format! & re-install! ..the one thing I wanted to avoid as all backups on this machine has to be done to floppies....... |

| 226191 | 2004-04-01 08:39:00 | Try this first This fix covers a reinstall of the TCP/IP protocol and WinSock socket layers to resolve "no traffic" problems on a computer as a result of a damaged socket layer, or protocols. This is often as a result of a damaged firewall application, botched SpyWare removal or other layered application difficulties. Step 1: Delete registry keys * Open the Registry Editor from the run line. Start --> Run --> regedit --> ok * Navigate to both of the following keys and then delete the key (folder): * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Winsock * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Winsock2 * Restart the computer NB: It is important to restart the computer after deleting the Winsock keys. Doing so causes the XP operating system to recreate shell entries for those two keys. If this is not done, the next step does not work correctly. Step 2: Install TCP/IP over top of the existing installation: * Open the properties window of the network connection. Start --> Connect To --> Show All Connections --> Right-click the Connectoid --> Click Properties --> Select the Networking Tab * Click Install * Click Protocol * Click Add * Click Have Disk * Type the path to the nettcpip.inf file and click OK. This should either be: c:\windows\inf or c:\winnt\inf (if you click browse, then attempt to browse to the \inf folder, it may not show up in the list as it is a hidden directory) * You should now see "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" in the list of available protocols. Select it and click OK. * Restart the computer |
