Reloading TCPIP dirvers XP

[JAL]

I would like to reload the TCPIP and possibly the NDIS
drivers on my XP system.

I am not able to DHCP an IP address and even if I
manually assign an IP address or infact install a new
NIC, the PC continues to fail TCPIP - network level
communications. Other systems on my LAN are working
perfectly so it is something unique to this system.
Forcibly reloading TCPIP seems like a good option.

Any ideas, suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks - JAL

Jal,

You can't reload TCP/IP. But you can reset the Winsock stack, and you can reset
TCP/IP.

Give LSP-Fix and WinsockXPFix <http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm>, or WinsockFix
<http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=257> a shot.

If XP SP2, Start - Run - "cmd". Type "netsh winsock reset catalog" into the
command window.

If no help yet, reset TCP/IP.

Start - Run - "cmd". Type "netsh int ip reset c:\netsh.txt" into the command
window.
