Removing and re-installing TCP/IP

[Licensed to Quill]

Is there an article on how to do this? My wifi connection wont start IE or
OE at all nor will it share files over the network

And the connection to the base station in the systray changes at random from
'excellent' to 'poor' to 'no connection available'

Buffalo says that the TCP/IP stack is corrupted and that re-installing a
corrupted stack is not all that easy. Is there an article on the knowledge
base on it?

Google for the two apps lspfix.exe and winsockxpfix.exe. Run both.

It is very unlikely that TCP/IP stack is corrupted.
Try to get the wi-fi devce working, or replace it.

I wonder what else it could be? I have a neighbour whose network I can link
to even easier than mine and I can't get IE to work on his either? (all
other computers in my flat work on either network properly) Whatever link I
press in favorites, it shows trying to connect to 192 168 12 1 and doesn't
find it

Please have a look at http://www.michna.com/kb/wxnet.htm.

and winsockxpfix.exe didnt fix the problem and lspfix.exe just reports 4
files which it finds but doesnt tell me what to do with them, whether to
delete them or keep them or if it is going to replace them with betteer
versions or extract uncorrupted versions from some cab file (or the
installation CD) if I delete them and the problem isnt cured

In the interim I installed SP2 in the hope that it would rebuild the TCP/IP
stack or replace its DLLs with a newer versions but after reboot, the same
problem persists.

I had already done this and uninstalled it when my computer went completely
flakey and started freezing but this time Iwas desperate so I did it again
and APPARENTLY all went relatively smoothly in that the computer is no
longer flakey and doesnt freeze any more: (I Havent tried applications yet
and accept that I may yet have to back out of it again)

So I did a check internet connection on the Windows XP help feature and it
actually passed some connection tests?? It failed most of the connection
tests but reported that it passed the Outlook Exchange Newsgroup connection
test for example. I immediately opened OE and tried to go to the newsgroup
which it said it had successfully connected to and needless to say it
wouldn't connect to it (obviously because there isn't a connection).

Meanwhile even though it can't connect to the internet at all except as a
result of these apparently wrong connection test results the following
mysterious feature persists: I turned it off last night after installing
SP2 and suddenly received the close down message of that normal shut down
symbol in the centre of the screen but this time with a shield in the top
right hand corner. When I pressed it, it told me that it HAD downloaded and
was installing 3 Windows Update files and that I shouldn't turn the computer
off but that it would do so when it had finished installing them. It then
alternates every 13 seconds between the normal Windows is shutting down
screen and the Installing Update 1 of 3: do not turn off your computer
screen (interminably). It is still there this morning eight hours later
trying to install the mysterious (or non-existent) update 1 of 3.
