Screwed up LAN bindings - (Difficult)

A

Atlas

1) My system is working
2) Suddenly, dunno why, when looking at the Local Area Connection Properties
data is incomplete, not showing the current adapter description, not showing
the protocols (I had Commview and vmware protocols binded apart from
TCP-IP), showing only the clients (file sharing & client for msnet.)
3) Recently added a FireWire adapter, showed in network adapters in the
device manager (see config below)
4) To see if it could help to show missing data, tried to swap PCI slots,
but XP couldn't setup properly drivers with error code 31 or 1 and driver
update wizard stating "couldn't fine the file specified" (see below
setupapi.log)
5) Unistalled Commview and Vmware to see if removing protocols and
rebuilding bindings could help, no result.
6) I've put the FireWire and the NIC adapter backi in their original PCI
slots, it works again
7) Again not showing correctly LAN/Adapter/Protocols properties

Any hint?

I m' discovering the same problem and of course I'm trying to resolve it !!!
I 'm now in a worse case than yourself because I have done the error of thinking that by deleting the card in the device manager maybe it will make windows rediscover them and maybe windows could put all that stuff back correctly... That was a Wrong idea because now I have even lost access to the network.

So I' m writing on this forum from another machine :-(

Some ideas :
1) You are not alone. We are 2 at least ;-)
I've got this mess after a VMware player which was correctly installed asked me for an update . The update then uninstalled the first VMplayer and then said when I was trying to use Virtual machine Bridge Device 'VMnet0' Not Running
After that (maybe like you) I uninstalled the VMPlayer trying to put the older one and ... it didn't work. At those times I felt in the mess you described above....

2) #E154 Class installer failed. Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified
or in french (French PC means french errors so this message is for frenchies lurking on the web ; [highlight]Bienvenue au club ;-)[/highlight]
#E154 L'installateur de classe a échoué. Erreur 2: Le fichier spécifié est introuvable

To understand a little better what we have in SetupAPI.log, I've found a very interesting file to read named SetupAPIlog.doc from http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/b/a/eba1050f-a31d-436b-9281-92cdfeae4b45/SetupAPILog.doc

This file explain what we see but not enough

The file not found is unknown so we could try to find what file is lacking by using filemon ( regmon maybe too) to see what happens. Those tools can be found freely from sysinternals which is now in the microsoft bag;-) here http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/default.mspx

I can do a try by deleting the card in the device manager again and using filemon, but you probably can't because you will lose your network access

3) probably you will have to look at :
How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) in Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299357/en-us (for XP)
Note that There is a downloadable guide which automatize the job in the US version !!! but Microsoft is too lazy to produce it in other languages or version
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/317518/en-us (Windows 2003)

Maybe it's interesting to have a look also to :
How to troubleshoot TCP/IP connectivity with Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314067/en-us (Windows XP)
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/102908/en-us (Windows 2000 and even Windows NT)

and to :
How to determine and recover from Winsock2 corruption
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811259/en-us

If anybody have already done the job / has THE Answer / own THE Solution , please HELP. Reformat+ reinstall solution is of course forbidden ;-)
