425172 2006-01-29 11:14:00 Hi,
My winxp pro (sp2) suffers from a serious communication problem. Since winxp doesn't allow uninstall of tcp/ip, I tried to restore it using netsh. This failed to solve my problem. I've exported selected registry keys, those defining tcp/ip, and the problem was solved partially. I suspect that my tcp/ip stack is at fault and would like to replace it with a working stack.
Do you know how can I export a complete tcp/ip stack from a working pc?
Can such stack be extracted from the winxp installation cd? Is it available anywhere else?

Yes, I did try the two mentioned fixes, but the first had no impact while the second had a minor partial solution.
My request for a full replacement of my tcp/ip stack stemmed from the failure to solve the problem and the hint I got that s solution is possible but requires a more comprehensive fix.

425177 2006-01-29 18:43:00 Try this
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


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

Thanks.
I tried, but not ADSL can be established.
When I run ipconfig /all I get the folowing report:
IP Address: 0.0.0.0
Subnet Mask: 0.0.0.0
Default Gateway: none
DHCP Server: 255.255.255.255

Doesn't look good? Isn't it?

425180 2006-01-29 23:49:00 are you 100% sure that the pc is not infected?

what "serious communication problem" do you have?

425181 2006-01-30 00:48:00 Just out of curiousity, what additional network changes is netsh creating that goes beyond normal DHCP assignments?

Are you using netsh to modify the network configuration of a computer locally or remotely? Is it strictly for automation purposes?
