very slow boot after tcp/ip removed and reinstalled

M

Mike

I have a w2k pro. laptop. I tried connecting to my cable
modem, did ip renew. Received " not a socket" error.
Removed winsock and winsock2 from the registry-- rebooted--
uninstalled tcp/ip--rebooted--installed tcp/ip--troubles
ever since. I have booted to safe mode w/ and w/o
networking--takes long time to boot 15-20 minutes. Boot
normal takes forever.

Why did you remove Winsock? Winsock is rarely used in Win2k environments
nowadays.

I would suggest that you remove the TCPIP protocol and any others, then
remove your network adapter. WHen Win2k starts up and detects the adapter
use the Win2k CDROM to reload the files.

Regards
Paul.
