Hi Guy's

Just wondering of anyone can help me. I have XP Pro with
all update except SP1 and of late I have been having a
weird issue.

I am on cable and basically my connection dies. Not my
cable but TCP/IP on my machine just stop's. What happens
is when TCP/IP dies that if you try to run any TCP
program (eg ping, tracert, ipconfic etc) you get an error
message saying the file failed to initialize.

If I right click on the LAN icon and select repair I get
a TCP/IP error saying that it could not continue. If I
try to use my dial up connection what happens is it
dial's handshakes then I get "Error 1450 - Insufficient
system resources exist to complete the requested service".

The weird thing is if I re-boot it works fine. Some time
for day's on end other for only a few minutes however
each and everytime a re-boot will fix it.

I am not running any firewall other than XP's own built
in one and am at a loss as to what may be causing this
let alone the fix.

Is there anyone that may be able to assist me with this?

Thanks
Phillip

Phillip:

What kind of a cable modem are you using? I had a somewhat similar
problem with a 3COM modem that was supposedly DICSIS compliant. I
never could decide whether the D-Link hub/router I use was bad, or the
modem. I replaced the modem with a new Toshiba and the problem went
away. 3COM was not providing driver updates for my older modem.

DO you have the latest driver installed on your modem?
