Ok Gentlemen and Ladies,

Here's one maybe you all can help me out with.
Can't connect to the internet.

My computer is able to ping out, yet it cannot renew it's
ip address. The repair option on a right-click of the
network connection does not work.

After removing Winsock and Winsock, and going through
netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt, NO dice....

One wierd thing is in the reg I only have winsock2 now, so
that may be an issue. If anyone has resolved this problem
and has suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

THank you,

Raul
 
I have traced several of these problems to improperly configured winsock
LSPs. Run "winmsd" and go to Components/Network/Protocol. Look at the
names in the list, anything with "MSAFD" in it or the "RSVP xxx Service
Provider" should be fine. Anything else is suspect, and uninstalling the
owning program might help.

If that fails or your provider list is empty, you may need to rebuild the
catalog from scratch. The following instructions will rebuild your catalog
for TCP/IP. If you are using any other transports (If you don't know, then
you probably aren't) then you will have to reinstall them as well.


1. Backup and delete the following registry keys

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock2

2. Reboot

3. Go to the network connections folder, right click the icon for your
network connection, and select properties.

4. Click install, choose "protocol", and click "add..."

5. Click "Have Disk...", enter "\windows\inf", click OK

6. Select "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), click OK

7. When the process in complete, reboot
