Run this at the command prompt

Orion,

I did as you instructed on both computers to no avail.
Local area connection still showing a connect and
sent/receive in megabytes. This is crazy!

Any further thoughts?

Run this command at the command prompt:

netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt

this will reset the tcp/ip interface for the active tcp
install.

after you do this, powercycle both machines and try to
connect again.

Have a 3Com networking kit connecting two home PC's, both
XP Pro. All was working fine until some days ago, when
the connection failed. I get the "Client could not
connect to the remote computer. Remote connection might
not be enabled..." etc. message.

However, the local area connection status icon shows the
status as "connected," and further shows xx bytes
sent/received.

I've read just about every KB article on this, and tried
about all of the diagnostics to no avail. I've also done
several system restores to dates I know all was working
OK. Using the "ping" cmd on the remote computer, it does
a proper loop back. However, on my "Home" computer, the
ping request simply times out.

I'm positive my router and both NIC's are OK. However,
when I run network diagnostics, in "Help & Support," I
get "[00524291] WAN Miniport (IP) (FAILED) and sub to
that, "DNSServerSearchOrder (FAILED)
212.74.114.193 (FAILED)
212.74.112.66 (FAILED)"

Every try tiimes out.

Further, in diagnostics, I get the following: "DNS
Servers FAILED
[00524291] WAN Miniport (IP) (FAILED)
DNSServerSearchOrder (FAILED)
212.74.114.193 (FAILED)"

Again, all pings time out.

So, all passes but "WAN Miniport!"

Help, help!!

Bob
