I was having some networking troubles so I thought I'd uninstall the tcp/ip
protocall on my Local Area Connection. Problem is now I can't reinstall it.
When I go into the properties on my Local Area Connection I click on
"Install...", select Protocol, hit enter and I get a Network Connections pop
up error that says:
Could not add the requested component. The error is: The specified path does
not contain any applicable device INFs.
So, I tried rebooting, and trying again. No luck.
Then tried uninstalling my NIC card, rebooting and reinstalling. Then
rebooting. No luck. Same error message.
Then tried going to Add/Remove programs, and Add/Remove Windows Components.
Went to Network Services, clicked on Details and made sure TCP/IP was
selected. Then clicked next (making sure network services was checked).
What happens from there is that the Windows Component Wizrd begins
configuring the components, but stops and says "Files Needed" "The file
'simptcp.dll' on Windoes 2000 Professional CD is needed. Type the path where
the file is located."
So, I put in my CD and ran a search for the file on the cd (from the start
menu) and was told that no such file exists on the CD. I also ran a search on
another win2000 pro CD that has diagnostic tools on it. Anyway, I can't
locate this file anywhere.
I'm absolutely baffled by this. Any suggestions?
