In the days before Windows XP, a corrupted IP installation could
often be fixed simply by removing and reinstalling TCP/IP. In most
cases, the IP-related files remained intact, but some related Registry
keys would be corrupted beyond repair.
You can't uninstall TCP/IP in Windows XP, because there is no
Uninstall button for this protocol. According to Microsoft, that is
because TCP/IP is an integral part of the operating system, and removing
it would cause major problems. You can, however, use the Windows XP
command line utility NetShell to reset all IP-related Registry settings
to their default values. The result is a brand-new TCP/IP configuration.
The Netsh.exe program is located in the C:\Windows\ System32
directory. To use the program, enter the command "netsh int ip reset
filename." You must specify a filename, such as Ipstuff.txt. After Netsh
.exe runs, the file will contain a detailed log of the Registry keys
that were modified.
