Corrupt TCP/IP ????

[TymaUK]

Hi group

I have a wireless network set up both using winXP SP2 (PC A connected to a
router PC B has a wireless PCI card). The problem I am experiencing is with
computer B. When I go into windows (any user account) the wireless network
icon always comes up as disconnected (using XP's wireless Zero
configuration) and says no wireless connection in range.. I have tried the
'repair' option and tried reinstalling the card drivers but to no avail.
The only way that I can get the connection is to go into the properties of
my wireless connection, untick TCP/IP, then tick it again, click apply & OK
and then it connects and I have no further problems until reboot.

I read somewhere about a corrupt TCP/IP and the command to use to
reinstall/repair (cant exactly remember what I typed in) but even that
hasn't seemed to work.

Any one out there have the same problem or any ideas on a fix.

Many thanks in advance.

There is a third party utility which will rebuild the TCP/IP protocol stack.
Look for "Winsockxpfix.exe"

AS for your problem, it does not seem to be a TCP/IP problem. Most wireless
network cards come with there own configuration control application (line
Wireless Zero Configuration) and will cause this problem is it is active at
the same time as W.Z.C. Check to make sure that only Wireless Zero
Configuration is activate.

Hi thanks for the reply

The utility that installed with the card drivers has the option to use WZC
which it is doing. The only reason why I thought it could be TCP/IP is
because of the process I have to go through before it works.

I shall have a look for "Winsockxpfix.exe" and give that ago.

Again, many thanks.
