Hello
TCP/IP is corrupted on an XP Home SP2 machine. How can I re-copy or
bre-install TCP/IP on this machine.
I tried removing the TCP/IP tick, selecting NWLink, rebooting and then
removing nwlink and reticking tcp/ip - but that doesn't fix problem.
if I ping a web site get corrupted text on screen.
