Rebuild or re-install the TCP/IP stack

[Rume]

Hi,

Some of our XP computers after imaging are coming up with
two nic cards. One of them seems to be hidden and this
is causing connection issues on these computers. With
windows 2000, we resolved this by uninstalling and
reinstalling the TCP/IP stack. However, as you all may
already know there is no obvious way of doing this with
windows XP. Aside from using the NETSH command which we
have tried and did not resolve the problem, is there any
other way to rebuild the TCP/IP stack on these machines?

Thanks,

Rume
