Reload networking components

[smlunatick]

I am beginning to suspect a horribly "screwed up" networking system.
I would if the networking system on a Windows XP Pro SP3 can be
complete "removed" and "re-installed."

I have removed and re-installed my network adapter already.

A couple of articles that may help:

"How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) in Windows XP"

"How to determine and to recover from Winsock2 corruption in Windows
Server 2003, in Windows XP, and in Windows Vista"

Hi
Remove the Network card, or and disable Onboard Network cards.
Reboot one time with No network cards at all. Look at the Device manger and
remove (if any) residual Network card entries.
When it finish the Boot with No Network cards, switch off, enable (or insert
back) the Network card. Reboot and install the drivers.

If it does not help it might be that some system files related to network
are trashed and there is a need to reinstall the OS.
